Why is my Jeep Grand Cherokee making a ticking noise when I’m accelerating?

In the past week or so, my Grand Cherokee has been making a ticking noise when I’m accelerating—everything else seems to be fine, though. Should I be worried? Why is my Jeep Grand Cherokee making a clicking noise when I’m accelerating?

It’s wise to pay attention to the little details of how your car is running, as little issues can become big problems fast. There are a lot of things that might cause a Jeep Grand Cherokee to make a ticking noise when you’re accelerating, including the following:
  • Exhaust leaks
  • Spark plug issues
  • Oil leaks
  • Bad CV joint
  • Rocker arm problems
None of these are problems that you want to ignore, so it’s best to get your Jeep checked out by a mechanic ASAP.
