Wired thumping sound

[rtrgjr]

I just brought my 2023 Mach-e California route 1 for 10K inspection which included tire rotation now there is a strange low level thumping noise that comes and goes It was never there before was wondering if anyone has run into this?
Could it be a tire be out of balance? I checked to Tire pressure its right on, everything looks normal as far as I can tell.
Are do I just need to put some miles on it to settle it down, all thoughts are welcome thank you

Yeah. Something like that happened to me at the dealer. After some service of which I don’t remember what it was, I heard a rattling noise as I drove away. Sounded like a nut or bolt rattling around. drove around the block and brought it right back. They found the culprit and removed it.

Not normal. Nothing should need to be”settle down” after a repair or service. Details will help folks help you. Is it while driving? All speeds? Can you tell what direction it’s coming from? Does it get faster / slower/ change pitch at all? Could be out of balance tire, could be something loose. You’ll need a visual inspection.

The thumping is while I am driving, at all speeds, my wife says it from the front passenger, no the thumping does not change in intensity or in speed or direction. sometimes it does not happen until we gone a few miles other time it starts right away. I will contact dealership and have them check it out will post if the find anything

Ok went to dealership they did complete inspection and found nothing wrong with vehicle. then road tested and could not duplicate thumping. But the strange thing is now the thumping noise is gone. Maybe something was not put back right during the 10K service and when they went back in to inspect it got put back correctly so all end well,
