The first time the wind noise became such an issue is when the car had only a few thousand miles on it and I was driving on an interstate with a stiff cross wind. The noise was so loud that when I tried to use the onstar to call the dealer and have him listen to the noise, the onstar kept saying slower please, slower please even though I wasnt yet speaking. It was the wind the onstar was listening to. I have visited the dealer in moorehead several times and the gmc place in minot to try to stop the noise and the have reduced the wind noise but I still get an unacceptable level of noise. I have to take a vacation day to take the vehicle into the dealer 90 miles away and then even tho I know they are trying, they just seem to move the noise around. A car that windows for almost 40k should be at least as quiet as my daughter 6 year old neon. Wouldn't you say? I believe that this vehicle will never be quiet unless you are traveling less than 30 MPH down the road and with the wind. I have visited the dealer ship at least 4 times for this specific problem and they have replaced windo seals and liners as well as bending the doors but I am not satisfied. They say I am an isolated complaint but in the small town I live in there is only one other 2003 envoy and the owner says her noise is even worse. After 2 1/2 years and 18000 miles how much more should I have to endure?
