I have slight knock knees because of my wide pelvis. I heard that running puts a lot of pressure on the knees of with wide pelvises because their thigh bones are angled as opposed to straight. Should I not run very much. I do about 2 miles 5 days a week. Is that safe? What kind of precautions should I take besides normal warmup and cooldown?

I'd take it as it comes. Streach out before hand and then run what you normally do. If you feel anything odd later on, then stop and talk with your doc, but for now as long as your not feeling any unusual discomfort I'd say go for it!

Yeah, as long as you don't do more than 15 miles a week. I have a wide pelvis and I still like to run. Just wear a good pair of trainers and make sure you warm up properly. You can always try knee supports as well.

I don't see why not. Your knees and other joints will strengthen just like your muscles. Keep youself properly hydrated and correctly fed with good nutrition and your body will grow to comfort with the work you do. Its amazing how the body works.
Pay attention to how you feel, your joints will tell you how much, and when to stop.

Do a cardio workout using a row machine or an elliptical machine. Or do a cardio workout by doing a circuit of weight training. All of those will be more friendly on your knees.

I haven't head much about that particular problem.
I would up your mileage, and if you experience a problem with your knees or hips, there are many exercises to strengthen them.
