Why is my 2013 Jeep Wrangler making a ticking noise?
I recently bought a Wrangler for my son and everything seemed perfect when I test-drove it. We’ve only had it for about a month, and it’s making a weird ticking noise whenever he’s driving. Why would a 2013 Jeep Wrangler make a ticking noise?

Finding out there may be something wrong with your vehicle so soon after buying it must be frustrating. Luckily, the culprit causing your son’s
2013 Jeep Wrangler
to make a ticking sound is likely just low oil levels or low oil pressure. Take a moment to check the oil in your son’s
Jeep
. Better yet, you can use this opportunity to teach basic car maintenance to your teen
by showing him how to check the oil himself. In addition to checking the oil, go ahead and perform an oil and filter change, too. If you’re not mechanically inclined, or if checking and changing the oil doesn’t work, you should head to a professional mechanic to get the issue checked out. They’ll inspect your vehicle to determine
what’s making the noise
