Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This car presents with a loud clicking sound which is very distressing.once it begins it lasts for several minutes sounding for long periods and at times short bursts. i have taken it to the dealer twice and the problem has been neither identified or rectified. until last night i have been alone in the car when this sound presents. last night when it presented there were passengers present. although the car did not falter it was none the less very distressing for my passengers and me. we turned off our cell phones and shut off the radio to no avail. with no resolution or information as to what is the cause i am left wondering if i am driving towards some malfunction. this clicking sound always presents while driving on freeways at freeway speed.*ak
