Liquid noise???

I think it is the gas sloshing around but everytime i accelerate and brake i can hear LOUDLY sounds like water sloshing around. Has anyone had or have this happening to them. If it's from the gas tank it has to have rails and vents intide the tank to prevent the noise from happening right?

Check your drains. We had the same thing happen, and a quick trip to the dealer solved the problem. Good luck!

Skip the dealer

The rocker panel(s) that run underneath the doors have the drain(s) clogged. The drain holes are located right up front of the rocker panel underneath. Just get something to "rod" the holes out and watch the water drain; been there done that......took 30 seconds.

Good luck,

-Kevin
