I recently leased a 2008 Town and County Touring. I love the van and got a great deal. Problem is, shortly after leaving the dealer, I noticed a wind howl (very noticeable at speeds above 40 mph.) I think it is coming from the rear, but can't be sure. Anybody know what it may be? I will be returning to the dealer to get my tags and I wanted to have them aware of the issue so it can be fixed quickly, instead of wasting my time for a tech to inspect it and troubleshoot the issue.

 

This may or may not be usefull.

I have yet to own any type of Chrysler van that
did not howl at various speedswhen the roof racks were in place.

Might be worth looking into?

I had the same problem.. The crossbars on your roof rack are on backwards. They are shaped like an airplane wing... the fatter side goes twords the front.. If you have the thin side facing front you will hear the howl... There is a TSB about it but I do not have the number..

 

Holy crap!!! Something so simple, yet so annoying. Thanks for that. I never woulda thought of that myself.

 

Yup, most often the excess noise is from misplaced crossbars on the roof rack.
