I have a 2004 Maxima Elite Pckg and recently i can hear a noise when accelerating , it comes from a passanger side dash area it sounds like water running thru some pipes there or a boiling water noise(it lasts from the time i start it about 20 min or so then i cant realy hear it), it sounds very clear(loud)...when i took the car to a dealer by the time i got there it didnt sound as loud...but Srvc. Mgr. told me it could be air pockets and they flushed and changed the coolant system ...but now the problem is worst even when the car is hot i still get that water noise in the cabin. Eventually i will see the dealer again , but did anyone have that same problem??

Problem: Gurgling Noise From Heater Core

damnit, i thought i was only hearing things when i noticed it other day as well. I still have to get rear deck rattle fixed. So its a 2 for 1 for me .

 

does it sound like a "rattlesnake"? I also have that, especially when accelerating b/w 20-40mph. I dunno what it is. I guess the TSB is right.

any comments?

 

Yeap you could compare it to rattlesnake noise ...and the dealer took care of the same way it described in TSB but it didnt help ...i am really want to get rid of this noise so if you can show this to your dealer and they fix it please let me know

thanx

 

ok. I'll try to see my dealer about it. The dealer in Blytheville AR is really helpful and the service is great. Once had a problem with the suspension and they fixed it, now the "thumping" sound is history!
