Default Should I demand a new roof...?

Since I moved in to new home in 2004, we have had roof shingle problems
every year. First year some blew off, many loose. Since then we have had
loose shingles everytime there is a storm. Yet the winds are not that high
in my opinion, say 40mph gusts.

Today, we had a storm and now I can see a dozen or so loose shingles
flapping up and down. Last year I was told it was last time they would
repair the shingles on my roof. The forman and all but said the shingles are
a bad batch as the same is happening to other homes where the roofs were put
up around the same time as mine. So should I push for a complete new roof?

Thanks,

Yes, but who are you going to go after? Could be both or manufacturers
or installers fault. My builder shorted on nails and even though I had
a one year warranty from him before shingles started blowing off, I had
to sue him. Builders are skillful and hiding behind corporations and
settlement brought no money.
