Were there any recent repairs? With this being such a new vehicle, this may be normal.

However, this is normally an air pocket in the cooling system. Clearly we need to get this to a dealer due to it being so new. I would not wait too long because if this is an air pocket and there is more damage they may give you a hard time for not bringing it in earlier. Also, they will be able to compare it to another vehicle to see if they have the same noise.

Let me know if you can get a video of the noise and that may help determine what it is. Also, does it do it with the engine running or just after you shut it off?
