There could be a number of reasons you’re hearing your 2015 Dodge Journey make ticking noises.
Some common culprits for ticking noises in vehicles include:
  • Exhaust leak
  • Ignition system or electrical issues, if you hear ticking when starting your vehicle
  • Lack of engine lubrication: If your engine oil pressure or oil level is too low, you might hear engine parts knocking against each other—which can cause wear or damage if it goes on too long. Look out for a low oil pressure and/or check engine light on your dashboard, and use your dipstick to check your oil level.
In many cases, hearing a ticking noise might just be a normal part of one of your vehicle’s processes. But if you have any suspicions there could be an underlying problem with your vehicle, you’ll definitely want to have a certified mechanic take a look so you can get any necessary repairs out of the way and avoid more extensive and costly ones in the future.
