What is the cause of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ticking noise?
I recently bought a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee to take off-road. Unfortunately, it’s now making a ticking noise after just two off-road excursions. Since I’ve never come across this issue before, I’m at a loss of what to do next—what is a common cause of a ticking noise in a 2014 Grand Cherokee?

The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee isn’t known to have a common issue that would cause a ticking noise. As a result, you will need to check a few different things to diagnose the problem. However, if your Jeep Grand Cherokee has a Pentastar V6 engine, there’s a known issue with the camshaft bearing—this will likely require a mechanic to fix, but it’s an obvious starting point.
Outside of the camshaft bearing, some of the most common issues and fixes for ticking noises in your Grand Cherokee include:
- Loose spark plugs: Screw in the spark plug until the gasket meets the cylinder head.
- Low oil pressure: Fill the engine oil reservoir and check for leaks on the ground.
- Bad fuel injectors: Call a professional.
In most cases, you need to take your car to the shop to amend the ticking noise. So while you’re waiting for repairs or a diagnosis, spend your time fruitfully by comparing car insurance quotes and reducing your future
