Glad to hear.

Where is the drain hose located? Is this something we can do ourselves? Would save a trip to the dealer and come in handy sooner or later.

It's located under the dash behind the glove box.

Seems kind of odd to me they would have a drain relief flow into the car instead of out....Engineers..

It does go out. However, when it gets clogged, the water from the AC backs up and fills the top of the glove box.

Got it, that makes more sense.

I checked the carpet....it's dry , checked the radiator cap and the monitored the fluid lever from the reservior, it seemed to be in a constant level.

Funny thing is sometimes there is no bubbling noise. but most of the times it makes the noise! and everytime i take it to the dealer it does not make the bubbling sound and the service manager thinks i amd dicking around with them.

Besides the bubbling sound does anyone have a noisy dash and door pannel? mine makes a sound whenever the roads are slightly uneven. And my streak of bad luck continued with this car ....today i noticed a squeaking noise from the rear . So when i inspected it furthermore, i tried pressing at the bumper and it makes a squeaking noise like an old bed. I think it could be the shocks or springs? My Sorento is not even 5 months old and i already have all these issues!!
