What owners wrote

I was driving my 2008 lexus rx350 on the freeway at 65MPH and my son rolled down his window and instantaneously there was an extreme and painfull cabin pressure that lexus call "normal cabin pressure". It startled me, I almost crashed with my wife and two kids in the car with me.it makes your ears hut, very painfull. I bought a lexus because of t he quality and luxury that the lexus corporation portays. I am vey disappointed because the lexus dealership told me this is normal cabin pressure.
