    04 Altima Water swooshing noise

    I get a water swooshing noise when I accelerate. When I am at a stop and
    then press the gas, I hear a water swooshing noise from behind the center
    console. I took it to Nissan yesterday and they claim that this is normal,
    that it's just the coolant. It's funny because I have had the car for over
    a year now and this is the first time I have ever heard this noise. I read
    somewhere else that it was due to an air bubble in the radiator hose. Does
    anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

    I have a 02 altima and Im having nothing but heating problems and they tell
    me its an air bubble. I think its a recall and not enough people have
    complained to nissan about it yet. Good luck and get a 2nd oppinion

    I called Nissan back and complained and the person there told me that I
    wasn't the only one she heard this from. She then said she was going to
    place a call to another service department to find something else out, like
    if there had been any kind of a recall regarding this. I heard back from
    her once and all she told me was that she was still waiting for a return
    call. I was going to call back on Monday. I might be getting the yank but
    at least it's worth looking into. My heat hasn't been working to well
    either, and it's friggin' cold here in Cincinnati.

    I just took my 2005 2.5 S in today for the same noise. I hear that
    swooshing noise when I hit the gas from a stop. Also, I hear it in turns
    sometimes. The dealership told me it was an air bubble in the cooling
    system. They flushed it and re-serviced it. They said it should be fine.
    If I hear it again take it back in. Well guess what? The noise is still
    there. So I guess I'll be taking it back in. If anyone has any recall
    info, let me know. I'll post a message if I hear anything.

    I called the Nissan dealer that I took mine to today. They tell me that
    there will probably be a "bulliten" coming out regarding this, but no
    recall. She was also telling me that there were probably just going to find
    a way to hide the noise instead of fixing whatever it is that is causing it.
    At least your dealer did something. I was just told it was normal and they
    didn't do a damn thing except waste my day. I'll keep posting as I find
    stuff out. Try going to this site (if you don't already) and check out
    what they say about it. Sorry, I don't have the tiny url thing.

    The swooshing noise is a problem. We have had our radiator replaced
    twice.....Don't wait for the thing to start leaking..and don't take ITS
    JUST AN AIR BUBBLE for answer.

    By The way our car is only 7 months old
