• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Whistling Noise

Just received our 2021 Telluride S Model 4 weeks ago and we LOVE it. After having our check engine light on and off in our mini van for the past 4 years it feels like such a blessing. We have noticed a very distinct whistling sound coming from the top of the Telluride when speeds are 45mph and above. Yes, we mad sure the sunroof was completely shut. We do have the cross bars, so wondering if maybe that's it? Anyone else experience this?

Yes. Apprarently they make noise if they are installed backwards.

Thanks! Sure enough, the dealer installed the front bars backwards, apparently the arrows pointing to the correct direction didn't help them. Turned the bar around and voila the whistling stopped!

We are having the same exact issue, with the whistling sound when going above 45 mph. We don’t have cross bars so it’s definitely not that! We have no clue what it could be.
