I was driving about 35-40 MPH on a city street when a car in front had no lights in front of me was slowing down. I made impact with the car causing my head to hit the steering wheel knocking me out. My teeth were pushed in and three teeth had to be removed and my lip swelled up. If my airbag would of deployed I could of avoided these injuries.

The engine developed a loud knock during use. The knock was very loud when the car was idling. It is a v6 and had 104k miles. Honda diagnosed the problem as the front camshaft lobe for cylinder 6 had significant wear and the camshaft had to be replaced. They would not accept responsibility by admitting the part was defective. The only way 1 lobe could deteriorate that much was if it had not been heat treated in the manufacturing process

The front suspension is making a knocking or thumping sound. The noise can be heard inside the car but not outside the car. The noise appears on hot summer days after the car has been driven for about 30 - 60 minutes. The noise is primarily heard at low speeds and when the brake is applied. Sometimes it can be felt in the steering wheel or brake pedal. The car was taken to a kansas city area honda dealer but the noise was not duplicated because the car sat for a while and was not driven for 30 - 60 minutes. There are two similar complaints on a texan recently reported the same problem on the hondaaccordforum.com. He reports the honda dealer service representative said they had three similar reports and the fix is to replace both front knuckles and bearings. He said the honda tech line is aware of this problem. He wonders why a service bulletin or recall has not been issued because it could lead to loss of steering. I believe this is a common problem and that something should be formally done to correct the problem. Request the federal safety agency initiate a defects investigation.

Purchased 2010 honda accord march 29, 2010. Within 2 weeks a knocking or popping noise started from the front end. Progressively got worse. So loud that I thought the tires were about to fall off. After 5 trips to the dealership I was finally told that it was the ball joints, both left and right on the front end. Three of the 5 trips was told that the noise could not be re-emulated, and nothing was done. The second trip in, the noise was heard by a technician and was told that "a few bolts were loose on the sway bar". The noise came back within 2 days. Finally came in and requested a manager to drive the car to hear the noise, that is when ball joints were ordered and replaced the following week. Through all of this time I was told the vehicle was completely safe and nothing was wrong with it!

Purchase a 2010 honda accord on 5/24/10 - since the purchase the car has been back to the dealer 3 times for "popping/knocking" on the front driver side. First I was told there was a loose bolt on the suspension, the second time I was told it was again loose bolts on the suspension - car is currently at the dealer for third time awaiting response. The noise is extremely loud and distracting - terrified that the tires will fall off when driving. Dealer does not seemed concerned.

Knocking noise at low speed 5 to 10 MPH. Appears to be in steering rack. Thought perhaps brakes but we have eliminated those. Popping noise can felt when moving steering wheel right to left and idle with or without engine running and holding hand on tie rod ends. Dealer says there is no problem but steering is not safe with this being felt. Car has 5000 miles on odometer and is 4 months old. It just started 1 day at about 4500 miles.the longer it is driven in a day the louder the noise becomes.
