What causes a 2015 Buick Encore ticking noise?

I have a 2015 Buick Encore that I bought new, and I’ve had no major mechanical issues with it. However, it’s recently developed a ticking noise, but I haven’t noticed any change in the drivability of the car. What could be causing a ticking noise in a 2015 Buick Encore?

The 2015 Buick Encore isn’t known to have a specific issue, defect, or recall that would cause a ticking noise, so chalk it up to normal wear and tear. Without hearing it firsthand, the ticking noise could have many sources—the severity of the issue would change with what exactly is wrong.
Here’s a list to get you started on possible issues:
  • Damaged CV joint
  • Loose spark plugs
  • Low oil pressure
  • Ignition issues
  • Loose exhaust manifold bolts or exhaust issues
A damaged CV joint is probably the only issue that poses a threat to your safety, but getting your Encore checked out by an Encore is a smart move.
