toille27 3 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I do a lot of highway driving usually max out in the 70 to 75 MPH range. The other day I rolled my front windows up to hear someone on the bluetooth headset with the rear windows down and the cabin started vibrating so violently I had to open my front windows to stop it. Anyone else experience this phenomenon? I theorize that the vacuum created by the rear windows being open pulls the rear hatch door up and down causing the vibration throughout the cabin.

dulsaf2630 9 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Yes its normal for this car. Whenever I open the window is has to be front only or all. Link to post Share on other sites
Deputy Dawg 0 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I have not tried it, but on my 2004 Dodge 1500 Quad-cab 1500, if the rear windows are down more than just an inch or two, you get this "whump-whump" sound that sounds like someone slapping something against your ears. Hard to explain, so like the other postings, I found it's best to crack front windows, and leave rear windows closed. I think it's probably a common occurance. Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Both front windows can do the same, as will one side down other side up. The best way to combat this is front right down a little, back right down all the way, regulate the airflow around you with a little drivers side front. You can get some decent circulation this way and avoid the ear drum shattering. Link to post Share on other sites
mpro09 0 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 try opening 2 windows diagonal. in my experience this works perfectly against the above mentioned effect and you get a nice "air flow" through the car. Link to post Share on other sites
