Unable to drive the vehicle with windows rolled down. As noted in several other complaints this vehicle is completely non-drivable with windows rolled down. This fact is never mentioned to any customers at the time of purchase. I feel that if anyone buying a vehicle for more than 30K should have access to any such design flaw. Even when asking the dealer, later on, the response was that this is a design problem. Toyota needs to carefully look into this as with windows rolled down on freeway speeds, it creates almost a low pressure env within the vehicle with ear-aches for all passengers.

With rear windows lowered a deafening buffeting vibration occurs from the aft cargo compartment. When the speed is increased, the buffeting increases to an unbearable level. Dealer did not disclose this information prior to purchase.
