2 Sway Bar problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2010

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!.
