Whenever I drive 85 mph or above, a strange noise seems to come from near the windshield. It is a vibrating noise as if something is cracking or tearing. The sound comes from near the vent area. This sound only comes at high speeds. If I reduce the speed to around 70 mph the sound is gone. The sound is as if there is no windshield and as if huge loads of wind, rush inside (that kind of sound). The windshield has nothing wrong and everything is intact. But this noise only happens at high speed. I took it to various mechanics and they could not figure out why and were clueless. The dealer also could not figure out what is wrong and said, "there's nothing wrong really" I wrote letter to Toyota Motor Corporation headquarters in Japan, but got no reply back. Also I notice that at speed of 85 mph or above, the car seems to shake a lot. It seems as if the car is about to flip and is losing its balance. At speed of 90 mph, the car seems to go out of alignment and drifts towards the other lane, and some minor loss of steering is experienced. At speed of 95 mph and beyond, the engine gets too loud, rought and whiny. At speed of 100 mph or beyond, the car seems to bounce in air little bit and then hit ground. All these problems occur at high speeds only.
car has 49500 miles. Never had a problem. But I never drove this fast before either. I just discover that at high speeds, the car does not seem good
