• 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...

I have had my telluride for 2 months now and have noticed that when driving a certain speed, you can hear air coming through the driver side window as if there is a leak in the seal somewhere. I have not had a chance to take it back in to be looked at yet but was curious if anyone else has had this occur with theirs? Thanks.
 
Yes, there is another thread on this somewhere. Seems to be a common problem. I would return to the dealer and insist they fix it.
 
I don't think there is a "leak" ( either air coming in or going out) ....what it seems to be to me is that what we are hearing is air "whistling" through very tiny crevice between the body and the chrome trim just above the doors. You may find the sound gets different when the vehicle is covered with moisture......that's the result of water getting into that tiny crevice. I can't be 100% sure that this is the cause.......after studying it and putting water in the crevice area to experiment a bit, I think it's an "aerodynamic issue" much like what happens sometimes with luggage racks on vehicles.
 
Got my Telluride in Sept and noticed this same exact "air leak" within hours. I took it to the dealer amongst another small issue, and they kinda just brushed it off because they would need complete silence to hear it. Going to dealer again for something and will bring this up again.
