Why does my 2013 Ford Escape make a ticking noise?
I bought my car brand new and it’s done great for me for the last decade—until now. It started to make a funny noise that I’d never heard before… sort of like a ticking.

Your 2013 Ford Escape might make a ticking noise due to old filters, valve problems, or exhaust issues. While there are many causes, some of them are fairly easy to resolve.
According to RepairPal, some likely culprits behind your car’s ticking noises are problems due to:
Low oil level
Low oil pressure
Exhaust leak
Ignition system malfunction
If you’ve had your oil checked and changed and you can’t locate a leak in your car’s exhaust system, it might be time to get your car looked over by a professional.
