Sounds Like
Sounds like the same issue I am having. Dealer is going to replace the gas tank, saying the inside of the tank is broken. When you back up slightly and brake do you hear it then too?

i'll check to see if i also hear it too when backing up and hitting the brakes. it might not be as noticeable but over bumps it's definitely sloshing like the ocean.
edit: yup, sloshing sounds backing up and hitting the brakes.
