Has anyone reported a clicking noise from the rear of the vehicle. I have an 07 patriot sport 4x2 and at low speeds there is what seems to be a rotational clicking noise coming from the rear of the vehicle.

Bad wheel bearings make clicking noises, at least in my experience with one in the past, or it could be a stick hitting a wheel, any number of things.

rocks in your tire treads?

That or a nail/scew in the tire will tick as well. I would check the rear tires for anything in the tread.

I had a nail in one of my tires whichs makes a clicking tick-tick-tick sound.
Wasn´t easy to find it out and i was pissed about getting 2 new tires within 2 weeks.

I have checked the tires, nothing there. I hope it is not a bearing. I only have 12000 miles. I took it to the dealer this weekend and of course they found nothing. I will just wait and listen.

I agree with what some others have said. Really common to get a small stone stuck in the tread. I am sure you looked, however they can be darn hard to find.

You could raid up your back end and spin the tires to see if you hear anything.
