Water Sloshing Sound - Passenger Side

[connoisseurr]

Has anyone experienced this? I can hear it at lower speeds on acceleration and deceleration.

I was going to do this exact same post last night and forgot. I thought I noticed it backing into the garage a few weeks ago after washing it. Yesterday it rained and when I drove it and came to a stop I thought I heard it, so did a few light acceleration/braking cycles and sounded like a small bathtub sloshing back and forth. I had it parked on about a 5-10% slope left side down while it was raining, so thought maybe a drain in the lower door panel might have been above the water, but it was level when I washed it a few weeks ago. When I got out I gave the door a good shake, but didn't hear it, so I'm assuming it is something underneath on the right side of the truck. I'm probably going to add it to my pending service ticket. I'm getting the mobile visit for the recall issue Monday and will ask the technician to see if they know about it.

Push the lower facia out , i.e. towards the outside and see if water starts coming out. Mine retains water like my < >I better not go there

Tried this - nothing came out, on both the passenger-side front and rear door. Will keep investigating.

I have the same thing lots of sloshing around… I did a few hard start stops and definitely dislodged some of it but it is super noticeable.

Thought I was hearing things…Same issue here, wonder if it is AC related? Or possibly hydraulic tank for suspension? Definitely sounds like a tank with liquid inside moving around.

Oh brother…. More problems to anticipate when the rains return to Seattle next week. No real rain in many months.

I just heard this yesterday after I went through a car wash and happened to have the radio off. Hope it's all draining out! I'm going to ask the mobile tech about it today.

Any follow up on this from anyone? I just heard the sloshing today after PNW rainfall. I missed getting it back in the garage before the rain came (hate wet floors) and now it’s waterlogged. Ugh!

I didn’t get anywhere, but definitely try the recommendations above.

Did you ever find out what was happening ?

Yes, posted in a couple of other threads. Mobile service tech fixed it when he came for the recall. There is a little one way rubber plug that not infrequently gets applied a little too tight in assembly. The water is in a space where it is supposed to collect as it runs down the door frame. The plug was keeping it from draining. He checked the plug on the driver door too, and it had water marks where you could tell it was draining. The one from the passenger door looked brand new. Haven't had any water collecting since. I was relieved it was a space water was supposed to get into. It just wasn't getting out as designed.

I have this too on the passenger side, 98XX. Have a SC appt in December and hope for it to be fixed then
