I've had that buffeting sound happen in about every vehicle I've owned. If you're just going to open the second row windows it causes a vacuum which causes that sound. If the third row or rear facing windows open(which I think the Chryslers and some other vehicles do) you'll negate it. However I have to agree that most people don't drive down the highway with their back windows open. I shut my windows and turn the A/C on.   Peoples egos seem to get bruised easy on this site. Most of you have invested a lot of money in your vehicle and that's going to bias your opinion. As long as your happy with your vehicle, that's all that matters.

Replying to: bobber1 (Nov 27, 2007 4:47 pm) Finally, a truthful message. Bobber1, you hit the nail smack on the head. The CLLC people on this particular board would never admit to having a pile of junk and neither would a Honda or Toyota owner. With very few exceptions most people come here and act as unwitting shills for their particular manufacturer. If you do come here with an honest complaint you are lambasted and demeaned. A fine example was the comment someone made about their dissatisfaction with their 2008 CLLC mini then they were bashed for having contributed an honest opinion. Perhaps we need a "I AM AS HAPPY AS ALL GET OUT WITH MY MINIVAN SO DON'T COME HERE AND SAY YOURS IS LIKE JUNK" forum?

They join Edmunds today to bash, then you never hear from them again? If its bashing to doubt newbies like that, I'm guilty and will continue to be no matter what minivan they bash.   Most legit people on here would probably check out these forums before buying, do some research and buy, then complain and continue to complain year after year after year about how their 1917 Chrysler Minivan ended their family tree, started WWII and caused global warming overnight Replies to this message: maryh3 (Nov 28, 2007 11:03 am)

Replying to: thegraduate (Nov 27, 2007 8:07 am) Rolled down the window? Or rolled down both 2nd row windows? Big difference.   Even if I liked your great aunts Ody, I wouldn't buy it.   Anyway, I don't totally dislike the Ody. There are certain things I like about it and other things I don't. I just don't like it enough to buy one.

Replying to: bobw3 (Nov 26, 2007 6:14 pm) This sounds unfortunate but also made up. What constant problems? What did dealer say was wrong?Transmission sluggish? "Oh, that's just the way 4.0's are". Anyone - even Honda lovers, would not find the 4.0 sluggish. Did the reviewer let her friend drive her 2008 or did her friend also buy a 2008? So maybe we're talking about 2 lemons now. The 1 mo. old minivan/s are so terrible and yet they'll wait til the lease is over to trade it in? Come on now.
