Q: Knocking noise turning left 2009 Saturn Vue

asked by on November 25, 2016

When i make a left turn, there is a knocking sound. And a humming sound from the engine, louder than normal and when i turn the AC on it sounds like something knocking or catching like a fan blade fitting something.

Took the car to the dealer and told them about these and they claim to have fixed them. but they haven't.

My car has 76000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
