2024 Honda Prologue Complaint Log

I purchased a Honda Prolauge Touring. Radio and Turn signal sounds suddenly stopped. While driving, the sound indicates that the turn signal is out.

Steering: The vehicle is experiencing clicking noises as it turns while exiting downward sloped driveways. Issues with the Steering and loss of steering could cause an accident while pulling out of a driveway or making a turn. The vehicle has not been inspected for this issue. There were no warning lamps or messages for this issue. Body: The Trunk door has been opening without personal operation. When getting into the vehicle notification will be given that the trunk is open. Upon attempting to close the door it is stuck in a half open half closed position that will not let it lock back in. This is dangerous as the door opening without intention could cause an accident, could cause items in the back of the car to fall out while in motion, or could cause additional damage to the car itself. The car is currently at the dealer being reviewed.

Hello I buy the need hona prologue and from the first month the axles started making noise I tried to go to Honda dealer they say we don’t have no fix for this until now it’s almost 1 year they are giving me the same answer I am soo scared to drive the car because the sounds is getting more nd more I also attached the service reports with it.

While driving on the highway with no one in front of me, the car unexpectedly slams on the brakes. This issue consistently happens at a specific part of the highway where there is oncoming traffic and a slight incline. It seems like the sensors may need to be reconfigured. Additionally, when backing out of my driveway, the car struggles with snow or ice. It mistakenly detects an object behind me and automatically applies the brakes. To override this, I have to hold the gas pedal. It also doesn’t handle ice reflections well.

Received this emergency statement.

When using my HondaLink app to access the vehicle features, (check state of charge, lock or unlock the door, adjust climate, etc.) often the app has issues sending the signal to or communicating with the car, does not respond or is extremely slow to respond. This is a safety issue because in the event I lose my keys or lock my keys in the vehicle, I will be locked out of my vehicle, or in the event of an emergency when I need to access the vehicle quickly, I will be unable to do so. I have contacted Honda about the issue but have yet to have the issue resolved. App sometimes displays "Retrieving Status..." then "Data is Unavailable". Otherwise, the app will not display anything.

Received multiple alerts including "service high voltage system", "service vehicle soon", and "cannot charge". The vehicle also reduced speed and function, which could have resulted in reduced driver safety. Vehicle will be brought in for service to determine cause.

There is a clicking sound in the axel when making a sharp left turn.

Clicking sound when making a right turn

There is a loud, audible clicking noise when turning the steering wheel to the left or to the right, regardless of speed.

I have had this car since December 7th and I leased it brand new. It has been in service multiple times for multiple issues. Only one of the issues has been fixed while the rest they have not been able to diagnose. The cv axles have an issue and when I took the car back to Honda they said corporate Honda has not come out with a solution yet but the car is safe to drive??? The car makes a noise anytime I do a right turn and it has progressively gotten worse.

When I take sharp turns the passenger side has a loud clicking sound. It's concerning after less than 600 miles there is a loud clicking sound.

Whenever it gets cold, the car will being to experience brake systems failure, it was suddenly only go 62MPH. On this particular occasion, the car died in the middle of the street, thus blocking the street and causing a police response. Contacted Honda Support and they advised it would be up to 2 hours to get it towed out of there. Police called their own tow truck, the tow trucks had issues with it not going into Transport Mode and stuck parking break. It was brought to the dealer for repair. I believe the car is not safe because there has been several failures of this nature during the cold and other general system failures that appear to be computer related. More than likely police information item is on file.

When turning right, a clicking sound comes from the front end of the vehicle. 3862 miles on the car.

Car will randomly stop while in reverse. This would happen even without obstructions or other vehicles in view. This happens at least every few days. I made sure to keep the camera free from debris and dry. The parking break will also enable as soon as it brakes.

CV joint is making a clicking noise when turning. The dealership, Shottenkirk Honda of Cartersville, Ga. was able to duplicate the issue. They told me I need to wait until the part comes in and I was not given an ETA.

Leased the 2024 Honda Prologue EX AWD on [XXX] and attempted to get the HondaLink app setup so I could see the charge level and other vehicle features. Also wanted to select my charging option and access EVGO credits. Received the text link but would not activate. I waited a week before stopping by the dealership to see if it would correct itself. Contact Honda Support and they resent the text link and told me it would take up to 24 hours to activate. I waited 48 hours and called Honda support, I proceeded to tell them that in addition to the app not working the integrated Google Maps was not functioning as it indicated the car was in Mexico, when in fact I was in Virginia. The Honda support person elevated my case to 2nd tier support and they indicated it would be 24 to 48 hours before I would get a response. I talked to tier 2 support person the next day and after some basic troubleshooting they transferred me to OnStar support as none of the OnStar buttons functioned either. After troubleshooting with OnStar they told me that 5he telematics module was probably bad and that I needed to take it to dealership, so 11 days and less 400 miles later I took my vehicle to the dealership. That was late on [XXX]. The dealership contacted me on the following Monday to tell me they need the car a little longer so their technician that was most familiar with the Prologue could look at it on Tuesday. The dealership called me back on Tuesday and said the telematics module needed to be replaced, but it was on a nationwide backorder until the middle or end of March. They did tell me the vehicle was drivable, but my concern is that without OnStar if I was in an accident and incapacitated it wouldn’t be able to contact emergency services. I did receive an update that the part is now expected to arrive April 6th, so my vehicle sits at the dealership still and I have now made 3 payments on it even though I have only driven it for 11 days.

Automatic Emergency Braking is too sensitive. I have a one car garage and can not back out of my garage with the feature enabled. It continues to brake and set the parking brake until I disable the braking feature.

When turning and accelerating either direction, a clicking noise is hear. This is diagnosed as the CV Joints and the drive axles. The issue is worse in cold climate.

The HondaLink has unreliable connectivity with the vehicle for remote functions and charge notifications. When keys are misplaced or locked in the car, the unlock feature does not work as expected neither does the climate control function or any of the remote functions. This is can leave me stranded and unable to get into my car. The Charge notification also do not work this means when something happens that interupts charging to the car I would not know that my car will not be ready to drive when I anticipated or at all leaving me unable to get to my destination.

UNKNOWN- car makes loud knocking sounds when turning right or left. Not sure what it could be but I read other people say it’s an axle issue. Took car to Honda, they inspected car and said it was fine and cannot figure out why the sound is occurring, but did say all prologues have this knocking sound when turning. Honda is currently investigating why this is happening and as of now, my dealership said the car is safe to drive even though I hear the sound daily and it makes me nervous. I use this car daily to drive my kids to school and myself to work and it is the only car I have but it is worrisome.

1. Service high voltage Battery warning. HVAC system stopped working and vehicle is in limp mode. 2. Vehicle clicks and clunks in the front end noise coming from the CV joints on both side. Dealership says that it is "ok to drive" parts are on back order with no ETA.

For the second time in 7 months since I’ve owned the car, I need to get it serviced for an error on the panel names “System Voltage Error”. As a result, the car can’t be charged (EV), the heating doesn’t work in the middle of winter, and acceleration is reduced.

CV axle half shaft failure.

The Propulsion System Error warning light (a red car icon with an exclamation point) has appeared multiple times since I purchased the vehicle. This has occurred while driving, charging, or turning on the vehicle, with no apparent cause or trigger that I can identify. I have made several attempts to have the issue resolved by Honda, but they repeatedly provide excuses, such as the unavailability of an EV technician or the lack of proper equipment to update the car's computer software. During the most recent occurrence, I was driving when the error light came on, and I experienced reduced acceleration—something I don’t recall happening before. This presents a significant safety concern for me and others on the road. A sudden reduction in speed increases the risk of being rear-ended by an inattentive driver, or worse, becoming stranded in the middle of a travel lane. Honda has inspected the vehicle previously and documented the error codes and they have just cleared the codes or updated the software on the car. No additional symptoms were present leading up to the issue. This ongoing problem needs urgent attention to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle.

CLICKING IN CV JOINTS

The car makes a clicking noise when I turn. It is brand new with only 1100 miles on it. The noise started within the last few weeks. While the dealer claimed the car is safe to drive, I am concerned a part may fail while I am on the road.

When I turn left or right from a complete stop it makes a clicking noise. I believe it is the CV joints. I brought it into Honda for them to look at. They know about the issue but don't have a fix for it.

HondaLink Application does not always accurately communicate with the vehicle. This could cause issues with sounding alarm for distress or just everyday convenience for heating/cooling the car. Also, it is used to track charing and tire pressure.

When I was backing out of a parking spot the rear collision detection went off without any obstructions behind me. Although I was safe this could of caused bigger issues.

I have 9,500 miles on my car and within the last week every time I make a turn (either direction) there is a very loud clicking/grinding noise coming from the CV Axel. I’ve noticed it’s a common theme for Prologues & have been told it’s safe to drive but there are currently no remedies for this problem. It makes mes very nervous that it is going to turn into something worse soon.

The warning system is over-sensitive. Front Collision Warning - The forward collision warning randomly comes on while driving. Once, I was coming to a stop and at least two car lengths away when the system alerted me. Another time, I was driving down the road, and no one was in front of me when the system came on. This is a safety issue to both the driver, passengers, and others on the road because if the car thinks it's too close when it's not, it could violently and abruptly stop, thus causing other vehicles around the driver to crash, too! Rear Cross Traffic Warning - When backing up, the system violently stops the car and throws it into park mode, and there is nothing behind the vehicle. It will do it three times if you try to put it in reverse after being violently stopped. This happens all the time. One time I was in a parking lot with no one around and this happened 3 times before I could safely back up and then drive. The current mitigation is to turn the Rear Cross Traffic Warning off. This is a safety issue because being stopped so violently and abruptly could cause neck and back injuries. This is also a safety issue for others because I have to turn the system off, and there could be an unfortunate accident the system is meant to prevent.

vehicle sways from the rear at highway speed when going through bumps including small bumps. it feels like the vehicle can swerve/ lose control at any moment. No lights are on. traction control is on.

When pulling out of the driveway or parking spot and turning sharply to the left or right a clicking sound presumably from the CV joint can be heard. It has not been confirmed by the dealer, the vehicle is in the service department at leadcar honda due to “service high voltage system” and “unable to charge” messages. This message puts the vehicle in limp mode causing an unsafe situation and inability to charge had the potential to leave me stranded in frigid winter temperatures. The vehicle has not been inspected be the dealer because they only have one person certified to work on Prologue. The warning messages popped up on the screen and the warning lamps lit up on the dashboard

Vehicle driveshaft makes clicking noise anytime when turning.

Left and right half-shafts (CVs) are defective - both click loudly when turning in each respective direction. Was advised by a GM dealer that this is normal and will go away once the weather warms up. Noises have been apparent since first month of ownership (Sept 24) to present, happens every time I drive the car.

Car has a clicking noise when turning sharp both right and left. Dealer has said it most likely is the cv joints. They are a known issue and on backorder.

When making a sharp left hand turn out of a parking lot I hear a loud clicking coming from, it seemed, the front right hand side. This clicking seemed to be at the tire rotation rate and ceased when I straightened out after the turn. I have heard a similar sound when the u joints in a prior car of mine were about to fail.

The CV joint in the steering system clicks when turning to the right and left while accelerating.

When the car is in reverse it will slam on the brakes abruptly while flashing the cross traffic or rear collision warning lights when nothing is there. It’s very annoying and can be a safety hazard especially if it is icy or snowy. I have found myself sliding on ice and snow when in reverse because the vehicle slams on the brakes. I have almost hit things multiple times.

When turning the steering wheel all the way to the left or right (full lock turn), a clicking sound is noticed on either the front driver or passenger sides of the vehicle. This happens whether the vehicle is moving forward or in reverse. This is a safety concern as a failure could lead to a loss of steering, endangering the driver, occupants and others on the road. The problem has been reproduced by myself, but has not been confirmed by a dealer.

When using honda link locking or unlock doors system fails to unlock. If I can’t get to my keys or have lost my keys I’m locked out of my vehicle. In case of emergency I would be locked out of my vehicle and could be a safety hazard. This is unconfirmed by dealer and I have not contacted the manufacturer of this issue.

Knocking noise when making sharp/tight turns/u turns. Took vehicle to Honda dealer and was advised that axle/cv joint is issue. It is known and not estimated repair time provided.

Emergency braking in reverse will randomly engage while in reverse when there is no object that is potentially obstructing reverse. This is a safety issue as when it engages, other vehicles around may not be able to react as quickly and cause an impact. This has not been reported to manufacturer, it has been reported to dealer. Warning lamp for emergency breaking engaging and requires to be put in gear and engage manual break accordingly.

There is a knocking / clicking noise from the front driver wheel when I execute a tighter radius turn.

Car has less then 4000 miles on it and needs both front CV joints replace as they loudly click when turning left or right. Parts are on indefinite back order.

The axles make a bad clunking sound when performing sharp turns. Honda says it is “normal” yet the problem started after owning it for some time. Also, not every car (Honda or otherwise) has this “normal” behavior.

Within two weeks of purchase from dealer, the car began having warning lights “service high voltage system”,“acceleration reduced”, “service vehicle soon”. Additionally this electric car would not allow me to charge the battery once these warning lights were displayed. Car has been towed to dealer for repair. Several attempts have been made to get update on repair time and my inquiries have not been responded to. I’m now stuck paying for a car that is less than two weeks old with less than 1,000 miles on it. All I have been told is that a call was made to the OEM based on the error codes that were read by the dealers system on intake. They aren’t telling me anything in terms of what the issue is, what the OEM fix is or a time of repair. The US govt NEEDS to be investigating Honda for consumer fraud related to this vehicle as I’ve now learned that I’m not alone and there are now numerous online forums describing the same situation I’m in presently. It’s immoral to sell a $60,000 car with a known fault and not disclose these faults prior to purchase. I would have never purchased this car had I known ahead of time that there were significant known issues that could render the vehicle inoperable within weeks of purchase.

On multiple occasions the forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking have engaged when there is nothing in the lane. On one occasion, the system engaged brakes very hard - which I can only assume was triggered by a pedestrian on a nearby sidewalk. I was traveling 30mph and the vehicle came to an abrubt stop. Traffic behind me was then also forced to slam on their brakes and I feel this could have easily lead to a collision if the driver behind had not been attentive. On another case the vehicle engaged brakes while traveling at 60mph on a two lane highway. I was traveling straight, approaching a rightward bend in the road. My steering wheel was still straight ahead because I had not yet reached the turn. Meanwhile a vehicle was coming the opposite direction around the bend. I believe the system engaged because I was steering straight toward the other vehicle - not taking into account the fact that my lane would bend before reaching it. In this case the system did not stop the vehicle but it did cause a rapid change from 60mph to 40mph in a section of road with no obstructions where neither myself nor drivers around me would expect my vehicle to slam on the brakes. Had the surface been slick such a maneuver could cause loss of control. Again - had drivers behind me not been attentive - I could have been rear ended.
