“When turning left at slow speeds (15-25 MPH) I hear a clicking/clunking noise coming from the front left of the car. I just purchased the car 2006 RSX and will be taking in tomorrow to see if they can fix it. Although I have read that many have had this problem with no fix.”
NHTSA complaint #10134657, filed 2005-08, 140 miles“I purchased a 2005 Acura RSX type-s about a year and half ago around 4/20/05. I drove it for about 4 months and I started hearing a clicking noise coming from my suspension, I brought it back to the dealership and they installed a new strut. The next month the same problem occurred and they had to replace the other side of the strut. That same week my car started drifting to one side and my steering wheeling wasn't aligned, I bought it back and everything was okay. The next month I still heard the same clicking noise but I didn't have time to go to the dealer. …”
