Nissan Altima: 04 Altima Water swooshing noise

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.

Re: 04 Altima Water swooshing noise
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

Re: 04 Altima Water swooshing noise
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.

Re: 04 Altima Water swooshing noise
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.

Re: 04 Altima Water swooshing noise
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.

Re: 04 Altima Water swooshing noise
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
