air pressure in vehicle with one window open

Anyone else notice that when you open like just one passenger window in the back, you need to open another cause the pressure will just kill your ears after about a minute? So I can never just have like one of the kids windows open, it has to be two.

I have noticed this...although it has been like that with pretty much every vehicle I have owned. I wish there was a better way because my son ALWAYS wants his window open (which means I have to crack or open another)!

It's discussed several times in the owners manual. Maybe it's an issue with other Chrysler products

Page 37 of the owner's manual:

Wind Buffeting

Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of

pressure on the ears or a helicopter type sound in the

ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the

windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain

open or partially open positions. This is a normal occurrence

and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with

the rear windows open, then open the front and rear

windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the

buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof

opening to minimize the buffeting or open any

window.
