2013 Toyota Highlander Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“While driving on the highway, my son opened the rear passenger window, when he opened the window the noise and pressure on our ears was unbearable, it was like an extremely loud helicopter noise. We even tried opening other windows in the car to reduce the pressure and noise, while the noise and pressure were reduced it was still very loud and distracting. I called the Toyota dealer where we bought the car and he said all cars do that and to just open another window to relieve pressure. When I told him we tried that and it did not work he did not have any other answers. …”

“The contact owns a 2013 Toyota Highlander. The contact stated while his wife was driving 60 MPH, she heard an abnormally loud sound coming from the vehicle.

She re-entered the vehicle and opened the sunroof and shards of broken glass fell inside the vehicle from the sunroof. The driver stated that no object had struck the sunroof glass to cause the sunroof glass to shatter. The vehicle was restarted and driven to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. …”

“Recently purchased a new 2013 Toyota Highlander from a Toyota dealership on 03/15/14. While driving the vehicle the following day, I subsequently noticed that the front windshield impairs / blurred vision of the driver as well as any other occupants in the vehicle while looking out of the front windshield. It actually makes you dizzy and is a major safety hazard to all on the road. Searched for recall/defects with Toyota and did find another complaint of the same incident/vehicle/part/symptoms with a vehicle owner. …”
