Water gurgling noise from dash. Sounds like JKU is about to have explosive diarrhea!

I thought it was power steering or trans fluid cuz the new jks have the problem with the lines rubbing together.

And they gave me this crap and it wasn't even 4wd. My jk passed the test and I haven't had a problem with the explosive diarrhea lol. I'm still stumped about it tho.

Default Sloshing and gurgling water noise under dash of my 2013 JKR

Took my 2013 Rubicon (with less than 200 miles on it) back to the dealers after I started hearing the sloshing noise under the dash. Every time I started the car, when I accelerated or turned a corner, I'd hear this noise, like the sound of water being flushed through pipes. They purged the cooling system, but the noise was still there. No leaks were detected. They told me to give it some time – maybe as much as a month. It kept getting louder and more frequent, so I took it back. This time they raised the front end of the jeep in order to lower the heater core location so that it would be below the radiator inlet opening. They also put a high pressure radiator cap on. That seemed to work for about 4 days, and then the noise slowly started to gurgle back. I'm taking it in one more time. Now I'm wondering if it's a faulty heater core or head gasket. The service manager admitted that they've seen this problem in other jeeps, but they've usually been fixed by bleeding the system…

my 2012 has the same problem since new, I have 13 000km on it right now, and the noise is still there.

I also have the heating issue (near to no heat on driver side). Don't know if they're related though. Have an appointment in 2 days, can't wait to get my heat back! It's being cold and colder these days

Mine goes in tomorrow for no heat issue. 2nd time going in for Air system. First time it sounded like a jet engine under the glove box.

WTF

New JK 2013, now 1050 miles, but it has made this same sound since new. I was hoping to learn what it was exactly before going to my dealer and they start hunting and pecking around my new jeep.

They can't fix it today at the off road shop.

Apparently there's a bulletin out about driver side not getting equal heat. Passenger vents were at 140*+ and Driver was at 110*

There's some flushing of the heating system with some chemical that needs to be done. Ugh.

My 2013 does it also. So it's not a simple bleeding of the system?
