    2005 dodge durango - when a window or sun roof is opened independently it creates extreme "air buffeting" which has a direct effect on the occupants ears. This extreme pressure is painful and very distracting to the operator of the vehicle. Although briefly identified in the owners manual, with little concern, this is a serious safety concern. No mention of this "buffeting" issue at time of sale. *jb

    My 2005 dodge durango has excessive wind noise in the cabin when driving above approximately 45 miles per hour. The noise is particularly pronounced when driving in a moderate head or cross wind. At highway speeds in a moderate head or cross wind it is impossible to carry on a normal conversation within the cab of the vehicle due to the magnitude of the wind noise. The wind noise seems to be originating primarily…

    Dt: the contact stated while driving at 65 mph she rolled down the rear windows and the vehicle shook violently. The vibration was so severe that there was a gap between the driver's side door and the frame. The dealer indicated the vibration was normal and referred to it as the tunnel effect.

    I have a 2005 dodge durango. The way the vehicle is engineered there are serious blind spots. This is observed when the drive looks to his right. The passenger side "b" pillar is in their direct view. The way the front cockpit is designed you can't see overhead street lights while stopped or approaching a stop bar. There are also blind spots to the passenger side and rear and driver's side rear of the driver. *nm
