2024 Honda Prologue Complaint Log

Service High Voltage System warning. Have had this come up on my car and I have seen that this issue has happened to many Prologue owners. The issue is with the battery cooling system. I am glad that the car did not just shut off while I was driving. Honda/GM need to make this right.

Mild weather, 48 degrees. driving home at night. Lights on dash start to go off: "Service vehicle soon" "Reduced Acceleration Drive with Care" "Service High voltage" "Unable to charge" Heat stopped working and vehicle unable to charge. Brought into service the morning after and waiting for service department to get in touch.

A clicking noise coming from the front of the vehicle whenever I turn the steering wheel to the left or right. usually happen from a standing start. Honda dealership says its normal. but clicking is not normal. started to click around 3000 miles or so.

The vehicle is makeing clicking noises whenever a tight turn left or right is made from a stop. The noise is louder in cold weather and when the car is first driven.

I am writing to express my serious concern regarding an ongoing issue with my vehicle, which began pulling to the left at around 3,500 miles. I promptly brought my vehicle to Bay Ridge Honda's service department for inspection, where I was advised to return when the regional service technician was available for a more thorough diagnosis. I returned to the service department at 6,600 miles, and after lifting the vehicle and conducting an inspection, the technician performed a road test. He identified a problem with the front axle, stating that it would need to be replaced. However, the technician also indicated that replacing the axle would not resolve the issue, as the same problem would likely recur within 700 miles. He further explained that the only way to permanently address this issue would be for Honda to issue a recall for the faulty component. Given that this problem concerns a critical safety feature of the vehicle, I am extremely concerned about driving a vehicle that may be unsafe. This is particularly troubling, as I purchased the vehicle brand new and have taken no action to cause this issue. The prospect of continuing to drive a vehicle with a component integral to both the safety and daily operation of the car is unacceptable. I would greatly appreciate your urgent attention to this matter and would like to explore any potential solutions that may be available in the interim. My primary concern is ensuring the safety of both myself and others on the road.

Clicking from CVT joint when making sharp turns.

CV joint clicking on turns. Both left and righy

The buttons for changing songs have not worked at random times after turning on the vehicle. Also the car has had some problems when it comes to detecting a vehicle in front causing the car to slow down when in adaptive cruise control

Car making huge noises when turning right or left, looks like coming from bad axles. Still waiting for dealer for backorder parts. After few weeks car also making huge noise and shaking while driving in highway

Loud clicking noise when accelerating from a stop turning left.

Car has 20 miles on it brand new cracking sound when turning left and right on steering wheel and front tires

When using the Honda link app, sometimes the app experiences issues and the signal is never sent to the vehicle. If the keys are lost, this would create a safety issue in case of an emergency when access to the vehicle is needed. This issue has not been confirmed by the dealership and I have not contacted the manufacturer. The app in general does not update and or fails to display the vehicle information at times.

While driving on the gateway both my screens shut off. The one on my driver dash that displays my speed etc. my telematics screen also shut off. Stayed off while driving for about 5min then suddenly reset.

Every time this car comes to a stop, it rocks back and forth significantly on its suspension. Even at low speeds, it is noticeable when breaking, with about a second and a half of five to six rebounds back and forth. It is highly prominent with stronger braking or stop-and-go traffic, resulting in about two seconds of hard rocking back and forth. This problem happens more when the car is being driven in normal mode, meaning using both the acceleration and brake pedals; it’s less pronounced when driving in “one-pedal” mode. I took the car to the dealer service department, and they tested my car and other Prologues. The service department manager said this seems to be a problem in all the Prologues, even a 2025 model they tested. This problem is causing motion sickness for me and my wife, which can lead to distractions and potentially unsafe behaviors as explained below: * Distraction: Passengers experiencing motion sickness may be too focused on their discomfort to pay attention to the road or the driver, which can be dangerous. * Nausea and Vomiting: Nausea and vomiting can cause a passenger to become ill, which can be a distraction and potentially lead to unsafe behaviors like reaching for a trash bag or losing control of their body. * Safety of the Driver: If a passenger struggles with motion sickness, the driver may be distracted by the passenger's discomfort, which can lead to unsafe driving behaviors. * Increased Risk of Accidents:If a passenger becomes ill and the driver is distracted, the risk of accidents increases. Even though the dealership acknowledged that this seems to be a widespread problem based on the tests that their service department did, they are unwilling to take action until an official recall is in place. Please help.

Rear back up camera

Broken axle I was driving and kept hearing a tidying click sound when making turns

At 667 mi. car started making a clicking noise when turning left from a complete stop.

On February 25, 2025 my car decided to throw the code that said service high voltage system. I was on my way to drive my son to school. I have been driving for about two minutes and then the code showed up I called my dealership at 10 AM that morning and told them what was going on. They told me to come down there and they will take a look at the car. I bought this car on February 14, 2025. It has 370 miles on it at the time when I got to the dealership the first person turned me back and said that they couldn’t do anything because on the way to the dealership, the code went away. I left the dealership went to charge my car. It charged for 3% at the public charger and then it shut off. I went back to the dealership and this time they kept my car because the code was on when I arrived and the other guy apparently made a mistake and sent me home when he wasn’t supposed to. I got a loaner. I finally got my car back on March 8, 2025. I drove it a little bit yesterday and then I drove it a little bit more today which is march 9, 2025 my day was winding down so I figured I would go to target and get what I needed and charge my car while I was there. I went to the public charger. The car charge for about three or 4% and then it shut off I got the alert on my phone so now I must go back to the dealership when they open because today is Sunday and take my car back there. The code is now back on the car. apparently, while at the dealership, they couldn’t see anything while they had the car the code wasn’t showing up and then the dealership said that they had the Honda engineers look at the car and talk to him about it, and they couldn’t find anything wrong and they told me to bring it back in if it happens so I guess that’s what I’ll do currently the car has about 430 miles on it. I got it back and it had 390 something miles on it.

Both front CV axels clicking, causing hard turning and need replacement. Dealer does not have part to replace (on critical back order). Honda Motors stating car is safe to drive.

Clicking sound coming from be front wheels when turning

CV joints click loudly when turning left or right. Honda knows about the issue. No warning lights appear.

Vehicle restarted while on the freeway. My Child was in the car and was extremely frightened.

Loud clicking when turning sharply left and right, believe it’s related to faulty axel or CV joints on vehicle. Only 1500 miles on odometer.

When making turn left or right there is a noticeable cracking, ticking, knocking noise coming from suspension, sometimes it feels that i am about to loose the control of the steering. Went to Honda Dealership where I purchased the vehicle located at 35 Magee Ave, Stamford, CT 06902 they diagnosed the vehicle and confirmed that there was a noise due to faulty CV Axle Joint, however refused to fix it, they stated there are no recalls for this models and stated that the it is the vehicle characteristics. For me it raises serious safety issue, I can lose the control of steering whenever I am turning and cause fatal results. Please take this issue in consideration and review carefully.

Break failure on highway causing MVA- multiple attempts were made to slow down and break vehicle to no response what so ever. Pressed breaks all the way down, nothing, no air, no resistance, no sounds, vehicle kept on going. In an attempt to save myself from an accident that could have been much worse, I jumped out of the moving vehicle, landing the back of my head on the cement highway floor toward left end of bumper. This vehicle is not safe and should be taken off the roads. I have 2 toddlers and am traumatized. The vehicle stopped after some impact in the middle of the highway. From the moment of receiving this car there has been some sort of issue with it's breaks. Initially short stopping on it's own when gas peddle not pressed- had the setting fixed for that to then experience multiple whiplashes for no reason while driving. Attempted to connect the starlink on multiple occasions as well to no success and just a bunch of wasted time trying. In addition to all the alarming safety concerns, this car would not heat up well- 40 minutes into my ride I'd start to feel some warmth. I would love to have this case investigated further and sue honda for allowing such a dangerous vehicle on the roads. My accident was bad but the honest truth is that it could have been worse and no one should have be subject to this danger.

The contact owns a 2024 Honda Prologue. The contact stated that while making left turns, there was a knocking sound coming from the front driver’s side wheel well. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 2,401.

A knocking or clicking sound occurs when the vehicle is changing direction; for example, when stopped at a corner and turning either left or right, oftentimes at low speed. This same clicking or knocking sound appears to come from the front (I am assuming at the axle) began appearing sometime in late December 2024. I did not know it was a problem experienced by other Honda Prolgoue owners until I watched a video on YouTube. I have made an appointment with the dealer, who said there is a charge to diagnose this problem on a car I bought in November 2024 at that dealership.

The car has a very loud knocking noise when you turn left or right drop it off at the dealer today they didn’t want to look at it they said it was normal that there was nothing we can do freeway honda of Santa Ana Ca. They were seems careless about the situation they keep trying to blame GM Multiple times I felt something was gonna snap when turning according to the Maintenance manager multiple cars have came in with that issue pretty much they try to send me home I told them I still want to car to be check out

Returning home from a 75 mile trip. No warning vehicle displayed "service high voltage system. Lost all heat from HVAC system. No defrost, blew cold air. Display of power usage used was not accurate. Car manual mentioned the vehicle could be disabled if the warning was not seen by a Honda dealer service center.

High Voltage error in car and unable to charge at 3100 miles. Now without a car and dealership/Honda will not give courtesy car. The front suspension makes clicking noise in cold weather when turning.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The emergency break system abruptly activates. It has happened on reverse and going forward. One of the times it happened while on reverse it was raining so I thought that was the issue but it has happened on other occasions too. While going forward it happens when I am in fact getting close to a car however there is no risk of a crash and the system over reacts. Instead of allowing me to break on my own smoothly it goes to a complete stop unexpectedly. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The sudden breaking hurts my neck and back, and that of my passengers. It also puts my car at risk of getting rearended by the car behind me due to the sudden and complete stop. Ignoring the crying children that get scared by the sudden stop and think there has been an accident. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No. I emailed the sales rep this morning to complain but no response yet. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No.

While driving during a rain & snowstorm, the front windshield wiper stopped working completely all of a sudden. Adjusting the dials on the left stalk did nothing. The rear wiper worked perfectly throughout this incident. It is available for inspection. After the car was turned off and back on (of course during a stop), finally the front wiper started working again. Without the front wiper, any precipitation or dust makes safe driving impossible, greatly increasing the risk to myself, other drivers, pedestrians, and property. I have not taken it in for service as I do not know how to trigger / reproduce it again. There were zero messages / lamps / other symptoms. The screens did not give any alerts nor messages regarding any malfunction: the front wiper dial simply did nothing. For reference, this is the Elite trim with ~1000+ miles. Automatic wipers were off (and have been for many days now—they were too unreliable & confusing).

On 2/16/2025, I was slowly (maybe 5mph or slower) backing out of an Electric vehicle charging stall. Rain was falling lightly. The AEB system activated more than five times in a span of 60 seconds. The vehicle thought there was an obstruction in my path, even though there was no vehicle behind me or in front of me. There was a vehicle that was parked in the other stall charging.

It seems that the vehicles "auto hold" function, which is the standard control method for electric one-pedal driving cars does not always operate correctly or at all. This results in the vehicle suddenly accelerating due to gravity or potentially under it's own power. I have had to slam on the break many times to prevent the vehicle from busting through the garage door, and if any of my children or anyone else was near the car they could certainly receive life-threatening injuries. The vehicle has been bought in for this and a slew of other issues, and the service center relied on a software update and us testing the vehicle thereafter for the reported faults. The vehicle has been inspected by the Honda dealership's EV expert. There are no warning lights, alerts or any preceding messages that would suggest there was an issue. We have not been driving the vehicle due to the these obvious safety issues. When we were driving this vehicle both drivers and the kids in the car quickly became aware of the issue and all felt unsafe. The vehicle has remained parked and unused. Recently I was able to test this and recorded videos of the seemingly random, obviously unsafe and seemingly random events. I cannot seem to upload these videos to this portal.

When accelerating into a turn from a complete stop, left turn or right turn, there is a knocking sound coming from the cv joint. Vehicle made this sound when driving off the lot brand new. Vehicle also experienced a battery fault error/reduced propulsion warning at 700 miles and is currently at the dealer to investigate. The error alternates with the battery fault light indicating a fault with the high voltage battery and the propulsion power is limited light. This error occurred after preconditioning at 30% battery charge in 32 degree weather. The vehicle warmed up the interior but displayed the message as soon as I put the car into reverse gear. Both of these issues are safety issues in potential loss of steering and loss of propulsion power on the road.

When accelerating from a stop, knocking clicking noises can be heard. At first, it was only while making a left turn, but now it can be heard when turning in either direction or going straight. It only happens at low speeds. This puts my safety and the safety of others at risk because a failure could result in loss of power to the wheel and/or control of the vehicle. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer and at first, I was told it here was no fix. I was also told it was normal for this vehicle. I completed a survey about my experience with the service department, and received a message that Honda identified a fix and that axles are on back order. No warning messages have appeared.

When making a sharp turn out of a parking lot I noticed a ticking or popping sound coming from the wheels. This was replicated a couple of times but not consistently. If the part is defective it could cause loss of control of the vehicle while turning. This issues has not been reproduced by the dealer nor has it been inspected. No warning lamps or messages appeared prior to or after the incident occurred.

Very frequent and sudden breaking when no objects or any moving vehicles in the line of sight. This keeps happening and I am not able to use the safe system as is without turning it off

CV joint needs replaced. Hearing clicking noise when making sharp left and right turns. Has been occurring for several weeks now.

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 and will not do anything for it. When backing you the car randomly puts on the break with nothing around the rear of the vehicle.

Drove off the dealer lot with a brand new prologue with 31 miles on the odometer. Taking a left hand turn out of the dealer lot, I immediately hear a clicking/clunking noise coming from the front end. It’s my understanding that this is due to a CV joint in the drivetrain. Honda does not have a solution available.

Pulled out of our driveway and received a message that "AWD Temporarily Unavailable". This message did not indicate that this fault disables one-pedal driving. Upon reaching the end of my street at the stop sign, I gently let my foot off the accelerator expecting the car to slow down as it should when using one-pedal driving. Instead the car continued to move forward and I almost went through a stop sign into a busy road where I would have for sure gotten into a bad accident. Not informing the driver that this fault also disables one-pedal driving is extremely hazardous.

I have had my prologue for about two months now and have noticed that I receive a warning about reduced acceleration "randomly." I say “randomly” because I’ve observed that it appears during two specific situations. I get that warning whenever I’m low (less than 20%), so this is not random as it seems consistent. The other time this occurs is when I am driving or just starting my car (the battery percentage doesn’t matter, as it happens when it’s between 30% and 80%. Also, it happens when the temperature is below and above freezing). However, the latter situation occurs randomly and seems to happen more frequently while driving, though it also occurs when I am just starting the car. On top of that, the Forward Collision Warning system is extremely sensitive and has caused the car to brake hard unnecessarily on me with and without Adaptive Cruise Control enabled. Sometimes it even warns me of something that isn't even there.
