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! *TR

BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM OR NOT. ALL THE WHILE THEY WERE COMMUNICATING WITH ENGR. FROM HONDA. THEY HAVE MY CAR FOR A WEEK AND IT IS A LEASE.THEY ARE TALKING OF CHANGING A HEAD OR MAYBE EVEN THE BLOCK. PURCHASING A 30000.00 AUTO AND HAVING ONLY 4900 MI. IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I WOULD LIKE ANOTHER HONDA IN IT'S PLACE AND I WOULD BE COMPLETELY SATISFIED. HAD THE ROCKER ARM STUCK OPEN THE PISTON WOULD HAVE EXPLODED AND COULD CAUSE GREAT BODILY HARM TO MYSELF AND ANYONE AROUND ME AT THE TIME.
