Dear Robert,

I recently bought a new 2019 Nissan Rogue and noticed that it makes a ticking noise after I switch the engine off. Iâ€™ve heard this from other vehicles before and want to make sure itâ€™s nothing to worry about.

Thanks,
James

Hi, James!

Your 2019 Nissan Rogue is almost certainly fine, but there is a chance the ticking sound could be due to a problem.

The most common cause of this sound coming from a vehicle is due to a heating/cooling cycle, and this isnâ€™t anything to worry about.

Combustion and friction cause some of your Rogue's components to get very hot. Once you turn the engine off, these parts cool down to the ambient temperature: as this happens, a ticking noise is produced. For example, your carâ€™s exhaust could go from over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit down to 30 degrees, causing the material to expand and then contract.

This sound can also come from loose components in the engine bay or be the result of low oil pressure. If you're worried that this is the case, you should inspect your drivetrain or bring the car to our Service Department.

Thanks for the question, James! Please contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington again if you need anything else.
