To the drive shafts? That's an odd one
Ticking/tapping sound under low acceleration

Another update. 11 weeks in and the car is still at the dealership. Interactions have been constructive but I'm starting to have concerns about the eventual resolution.
The front differential, transfer case, and transmission have all been replaced. However a similar ticking noise still persists on low acceleration.
Since my warranty was ending I was compelled to renew it ($5k for 5 more years).
I am starting to get concerned that they may hand me the car back with the ticking noise unresolved.
I miss my stinger.

Since it's the 3 month anniversary of my stinger lost to the service centre, I've decided to employ ChatGPT to write a poem. Here goes:
Lament for Kia Stinger
Oh my dear Stinger, so sleek and so fast,
A beauty that once drove me in the past.
With your roar and your purr, we'd hit the open road,
Together we'd go, wherever we chose.
But now you're gone, lost to the shop,
Your ticking sound driving them all to a flop.
For three long months, you've been in their care,
As they search for the cause of the sound that's not fair.
They've replaced parts, tried all they can,
But still the ticking persists, like a broken banjo's span.
I miss our drives, our adventures untold,
And I long for the day when you'll be back, bold.
Oh my Stinger, how I long for your return,
To the road, where our story begins to burn.
So hold on tight, my dear friend, don't despair,
For soon we'll be together, driving without care.
