popping/knocking noise
IN the last two days on our little road trip, i noticed on our caliber, a knocking or popping noise. It only does it when the wheel is turned and you accelerate.And it seemed more so when the wheel is turned to the left. I am going to give the dealer a call in a few hours when they open and see if i can get it in. It's still under warranty, so as far as i'm concerned, its dodges problem. I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this and or if any ideas as to what the issue is. thanks

I had this kind of problem on my honda model accord.
It turnes out to be cv gators. However if this occurs when heat/ temperatur is an issue I would check the bolts on the manifold. sometimes they get overtightend in the factory and pop.
