Why is my Hyundai Elantra making a ticking noise when accelerating?

I noticed that my Hyundai Elantra was producing a ticking sound when I pressed the accelerator yesterday and now I’m nervous. What could that mean?

According to RepairPal, your Hyundai Elantra could be making a ticking noise when accelerating for several reasons. You may be dealing with:
  • Low levels of oil
  • Low oil pressure
  • The ignition system could be malfunctioning
  • An exhaust leak
It’s a good idea to schedule a servicing appointment at a nearby Hyundai dealer or a local mechanic to know what exactly is causing the ticking noise. You may also wish to update your
car insurance
 coverage to include help with vehicle repairs—it’s easy when you use the Jerry app!
