My wife's 07 fit has had this happening for some time. When you start the car, or even just driving forward, you hear this gurgling or bubbeling sound in the front. I have no clue where to even start looking. I did check the coolant at the radiator (have an old VW and they were know to trap air in there). Anyone have a clue to where to start looking?

You do know your fuel tank is right under the console right. If it's not gas sloshing around that you are hearing then you guessed correctly they have a problem with air being trapped in the cooling system and it needs to be burped.

You are talking about the center console right?

If it's sounds like right frontish, 2 things come to mind. Clogged a/c drain tube causing condensation to backup. Usually you will notice water on the carpet before it fills up to much. The other is an air pocket in the heater core, I've seen this multiple times. Helps to run vehicle with front end jacked up and radiator cap off with some kind of spill free funnel attached to prevent a mess. Ad well ad revving the engine slightly to get some extra pressure going through the cooling systeM.
