I broke it.
I-10 east of Beaumont broke my truck.
Cruising about 75, hit a bump (everywhere over there), and p/s front door started howling. I checked the dash for the light thinking maybe I didn't have that door fully closed and the bump jolted it loose. Nope.
I lowered and raised the window several times. No change. It sounds like the window is barely cracked open, and nothing I do can change it. At 65 I can't use the blue tooth, and at 75 you can't hear the stereo. It is LOUD.
So now I dread taking it to the shop. I'm going to be the "driver complains of wind noise" ticket that mechanics hate. Awesome.

That's frustrating, they don't seem to have the doors completely figured out on these. It will be interesting to hear what went wrong. One of those Ford Tough things, you can tow a crane, carry a jet engine in the back but hitting a pothole at speed ... not so much.

I know exactly where you are talking about. I live in Sulphur, LA about 30 miles east. I hit some bumps on the westbound side of I-10 in Orange, Tx about a moth ago that made my hood come unlatched. The light came on and I had to pull over and close it again, luckily no damage was done.

Try U.S.90 through Lafayette and Broussard heading East if you want a rough ride. Shook trim work on the inside of my camper apart!

You southerners don’t know what bad roads and bumps are! Lol. Come up to Minnesota and hit a frost heave at 75mph when it’s 30 degrees below zero!
