Hi. I have an 07 is350.
Every time I drive out of the drive way the car makes a weird gurgling / water-ish sound from what seems to be the rear? Is anyone having this problem? Is this normal or is this something that I should have the dealership look at? It seems to happen when the car is driving right off the driveway so the car is tilted at an angle. ANY input would be appreciated.

nope no water bottles no nothing. It sounds like it's coming from the chasis? I dunno. I can't really explain. I just found out that when at low speed, when I turn right it makes a sound as well

I filled the tank with gas and it still makes that sound. I'm gonna take it into the dealership. I think it has something to do with water adn it's probably stuck inside somewhere. It's been raining cats and dogs up where i live and so going to go have that checked. thanx for your help

ok the sound isn't water nor is it "gurglin" hhahaha stupid music class is messin up my ear. Well I found out that it's the little wind deflectors at the rear wheels. Dealership told me that they made the stupid wind deflectors for the wheel for "aerodynamic" reasons. a LOT of people have been having this problem and so they redesigned the deflectors and also angled them differently and it's on order now. If you have this scratchin/water gurglin/ weird sound coming the back then I suggest you go to your dealership and hav them install the "new and improved" ones. I dunno how this is goin to hold up when I slam my car
Wells that's my input for now. Hope this helps anyone on this forum. peace.
