Description of the problem	I picked up car at the dealer and the same evening rolled the rear windows down slightly and the result was a painful pulsating pressure that almost caused my wife to go off the road. This is well documented since 2001 and toyota had an opportunity at that point to rectify the situation immediately. The dealer said it was the first he ever heard of the problem. Toyota recognizes the phenomenon and faxed me arbitration papers which i filed and was denied because it is "a design issue" not covered under warrant". I will not drive an unsafe vehicle and would apreciate the assistance of the nhtsa in order to prevent non-disclosure of a serious design flaw that is unsafe and harmful to the ears. *ak
