| 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. | |||

| I did not have an accident but when i went to purchase 4-cylinder 2010 honda accord i notice that steering system was completely unacceptable and unsafe. i used to be a steering engineer hence know the system expectations. i did not buy the vehicle. steering does not return to center. i drove my friends car and it has the same issue. someone can get really hurt. this is typically a safety to fuel economy tradeoff engineering choice. i do not work in auto industry anymore but wanted government to investigate this issue. *tr | |||
