What’s up with the 2016 Ford Fusion engine ticking noise?

I’ve had my 2016 Ford Fusion for six years now and I love it, but lately, I’ve been noticing a ticking noise coming from its engine. What’s going on?

How do I change the time in a 2007 Honda Accord?

Do you pay a deductible if you're not at fault?
I was in an accident two weeks ago. The police report and the claim adjuster agreed I was not at fault. I need to get my car repaired while I have full coverage. Will I need to pay the deductible?
