I took my car into Costco for an examination of my tires and a rotation since my rear passenger tire was clicking. I thought it was a nail and sure enough they found one. But the clicking noise persisted. I took it back and they checked it in front of me everything and said to take it to the Ford dealer immediately.
I did and Ford called me within 30 minutes and said they fixed the problem which was a screw that was rolling around in the rear bay area cup holder. How bogus! i QUESTIONED THEM AND THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED FOR NO CHARGE! Once they took it out they didn't notice the noise. Being skeptical but trusting I handed in the loaner car and slowly drove my car away. The clicking noise started again in their parking lot. I'm so mad that now I have to start the process again and get in back of the line.
I should have turned my car back in again, immediately, for safety sake but they had beat me down mentally. It was Friday and I figured they wanted to get out of there. Many thanks for the previous articles about the studs striping off and tires falling off. I'll check that out.
Be safe and keep writing.

When driving at a slow speed there is a clicking noise in the back. Its getting louder and more annoying.
I''ve had the tires rotated & picked out all the pebbles in the tires, and same issue.
I have NO idea what this could be.
