Yes, I noticed the bad vibrations and piercing sounds to the ears also with the rear windows partially down. I had never had a vehicle do this before. The dealer told me that "Yah, that's the way they are. They're tested in a wind tunnel for aerodynamics only with the windows up". He showed me a Service bulletin about it with the solution being to "open the front windows a bit". Really annoying. Maybe some people only drive with the windows up, but around here in summer people don't use AC and open windows. Guess we will have to live with it.

I have the same problem with a 2003 Aviator with the moonroof open all the way. I just crack another window slightly or close the moonroof about an inch. It's not that big of a deal.

As mentioned above, you simply need to roll down another window slightly. Usually in the front. Basically it balances out the air flow in the "cabin" and cuts down on the annoyance significantly. I had the same problem with a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport and rolling down the front window even a pinch solved the problem.

Yeah, they showed me a service bulletin too. Down here in South Texas, you can't really say we have much of a winter so I like to open the back windows while I'm driving. It is annoying, but at least it goes away when you crack another window open. I'm also glad to know I'm not alone on this...Thanks all for replying!
