it may be something simple, like an oil change. If not, you need to take it to have it repaired, before all that knocking blows the engine!

Depends. Does it click all the time? Try turning off your A/C and make sure the vents are not on defrost. If it goes away that is normal. With the A/C or defrosters on it will cycle the clutch on the A/C compressor, in turn making a (clicking) noise. Hope this helps.

me and my dad own a auto repair shop named discount brake and muffler and i am the only girl probably that knows how to take a part an engine and is ceritified. well the clicking could mean that one of your pistons could be loose and another problem could be that when you accelerate theres a tube( so you can see where it is it is actually called and "feeding" tube that give the engine gas and lets the gas release) and you might need to flush out your engine because it can clog the tube but you need to go to an autoshop to get it flushed and see if anything else is wrong with it. thus a rod shaft might be damaged.

chech the oil now. right now. if the oil is low your lifters will rattle and click. it could also be an exhaust manifold gasket leak. blow by sounds like a clicking noise. could also be a bearing in your alternator, power steering, or airconditioner pump. i have also seen the tensioner for the serpentine belt go out (chysler products are bad for that). start by checking the oil then working your way up.
best of luck

First don't just add oil change the oil. Second do a major tune up including valve adjustment. Check for loose or frayed belts. Soapy water will help you find exhaust leaks. These are all things you need to do if you want to avoid more expensive repairs.

Did you run over something big, was the car sold from a Jeep dealership, or a used car lot? That may answer your question.

definitely check your oil, and if you fill it and it still does it, i reccommend lucas oil treatment (at any good auto store). Also if it knocks when you add just the oil, it could be too late, and you could have a rod knocking. If so, take it in and have it looked at

Because it wants attention from a certified mechanic

Maybe it wants oil. Have you checked the oil yet?
