WHILE BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, I NOTICEABLE SOUND THAT IS BEST DESCRIBED AS 'WATER RUSHING' IS HEARD FROM BEHIND THE PASSENGER-SIDE DASH AREA. AFTER CONDUCTING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE NARROWED IT DOWN TO THE ISSUE OF AIR TRAPPED IN THE COOLANT SYSTEM. ISSUE IS ISOLATED TO THE AREA OF THE HEATER CORE. HAVE ALSO SEEN MENTIONS OF SERVICE BULLETINS WHERE, IF THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY, IT CAN BE BROUGHT IN AND THE TANK CAN BE DRAINED AND REFILLED PROPERLY.
