There is a knocking sound when turning, I have a 2006 accord with only 42k+ miles. What are the possible scenarios, with so few miles???

Knocking noises when turning are quite often associated with the outer CV joints on the front axles. These joints have a boot on them. If that boot ruptures or is damaged the grease inside leaks out and water and dirt get in ruining the joint resulting in a noise when turning. Check both outer CV joint boots for tears or damage. The fix is to replace the joint or complete axle.

    Is this a common problem even with so few miles, 42,500??

    Thanks for your help!

    It's a fairly common problem but not at that low mileage. If it was damaged by something on the road mileage isn't a factor.

Check your oil. If it is milky/tannish, then all signs point to the possibility of a cracked engine block. I hope not. That would mean a new or rebuilt engine and probably a few thousand$$$. Hope it's something else, friend.

2003 impala 42K miles. shuddered and stop moving. Car starts but will not move when put into gear.

IT sounds like the transmission has failed. Check the fuse in the fuse box and look to see if the fuse to the transmission has blown. Check the transmission fluid level and condition of the fluid, what you described sounds like the Torque Converter did not unlock and now will not lock up. Most likely it's going to be a electrical problem since you only have 42K miles on it un-less you have been running it hard and may have broke something mechanical. Good luck and keep me posted.

if there is a knocking sound the computer will start retarding the timing to get rid of engine knock thru the knock sensor. Make sure you are using the correct grade of fuel. it will be listed in your owners manual. the improper grade of fuel can cause detonation in your engine. giving a knocking sound. if the change in fuel doesn't help you may be looking at mechanical repairs. hope this helps. mike
