Default broken in

Im posting this in here becuase the hemi guys dont seem to have these issues

Ive had my dodge for 6 months now. now that its kinda broken in i have notice certain things. Has anyone experience any of these things?

When the engine is at a specific RPM there is rattling noise that comes from the passenger side dash and the drivers side door panal

At high speeds or high winds the driver side door will open up just enough to let air out (it whistles). in otherwords it does not seal properly. one day it opened up so much i could see sky.

The headlights dont always turn of the first time. i have to turn the **** twice for them to go off or press the button on the remote.

my new '07 does the whistling from the driver side once i get going above 60-70 mph. i haven't had a chance to get it taken care of yet, but the dealer said they can adjust the latch to make it close tighter...

If you turn the vehicle off and then the lights, the headlights will stay on for a minute or two. If you shut the lights off before the vehicle then they should shut off right away.

My 04 used to have a whistling problem because of the door seals, They'd replace them it'd stop for a while and wear out another seal and start again, they replaced the seals 3 times and I had no problems with the last one which they said was a new design...

My CTD though it always whistle but thats my turbo

The headlights are computer controlled as far as I know...Good luck with all that...
