When the complaint was made to a dealership they and their field representative rejected that there is no abnormal noise and didn't even bother to check the undercarriage of the vehicle to check for any signs of relative damages.
When I took the vehicle to another dealership, they attended the problems and complaints with an open mind and found that there some torn bushings. They replaced under warranty and the metallic noise with steering movement was eliminated.

It’s no secret Honda is fast establishing a reputation for making cars with the cheapest and least reliable parts they can find.
Well, my 2011 hardly lasted 4 years on the road before it started showing severe deterioration of the sway bars and strut assemblies.
The problem was all related to cheap minimal strength parts. As a matter of fact when I searched online, I found vendors were making more robust versions of the needed parts and drawing buyers attention to the clear difference as a selling point over the Honda-made, factory-installed parts that continually fail.
