2024 Honda Prologue Complaint Log

Everything I turn the steering wheel, rather it’s to the left or right, there are clicking noises coming from the area of the wheel well. My dealership states there’s no fix to the issue, but it’s louder and louder by the day.

Around 500 miles into my lease the CV Balljoint is making a creaking noise. Now the noise extends to both front cv joints and the clicking or knocking sound is all the time, every turn now. Spoke to dealer and they said this is a known issue and they are working on it but nothing so far. In addition, the emergency braking system is too sensitive. On a small bump the car emergency braking kicked in and slammed on the brakes for no apparent reason. This happened over 14 times in the first 3 months. Eventually, I had to turn off my collision braking. Several times I thought the car tires exploded. Dangerous as I do not have control of brakes, steering, etc... everytime this happens.

CV joint clicking when turning about 1 month after purchasing the vehicle last year (vehicle purchased 1/4/25). Dealer is aware but said that there is no fix. Still clicking turning both left and right. False emergency breaking system--alerts when there is nothing in front of the car. Has suddenly stopped while driving twice, which is dangerous.

The car makes a clicking noise when I make sharp turns, most co.monly to the left. It is brand new with only 2320 miles on it. The noise started within the last few weeks. The rear breaking system locked up the brakes and turns the emergency break on, when backing up, even if nothing is behind me. Once it was rain drops dripping off of the rear window. Another time, nothing was there. I had to assume that it picked up a shadow in the driveway.

There is a loud clicking noise that comes from the front wheels when making a normal accelerated right or left turn. It’s most noticeable when the car has been sitting the cold for a while. Honda says they are aware of the problem but it is not clear if they know how to fix it. Other Prologue owners have been having their axles replaced under warranty.

Multiple warnings came on dash -Service vehicle soon -Service high voltage -Reduce acceleration with care -Car with exclamation, batteries with exclamation, sing battery and a turtle. -Car unable to charge On-Demand Diagnostic information from on star. The Hybrid/Electric vehicle powertrain controller requested malfunction indicator lamp illumination, please refer to codes from VICM The Lithium-Ion battery is not performing as expected. An issue has been detected in the battery conditioning system which provides heating and cooling for the battery pack on your electric vehicle to ensure efficient operating conditions.

While approaching a red light on a busy road the forward alert triggered and auto breaking was engaged with no vehicle in front. Almost resulted in an accident. Had the light not been red other cars near me may not have been breaking.

Both front and rear axles are faulty. The make clunking noises when you make a 90 degree turn. The dealership says the car is safe but this is a bad experience.

The vehicle's backup sensors exhibit excessive sensitivity when reversing from a garage or parking space. My vehicle engaged the emergency brakes automatically despite the absence of nearby cars or pedestrian obstacles.

Multiple times the Prologue has been in service for high voltage system and reduced acceleration errors that have come on during charging.

Steering & front axle make loud clicking noise when turning, Honda is aware of the problem and that the problem gets worse over time but I am worried about steering/suspension failing before Honda has a fix available.

While driving it started raining and I attempted to turn the windshield wiper on. The control knob was unresponsive. Rear wiper control worked. Checked the front wiper again - unresponsive in all positionsl. Fortunately I was able to pull my vehicle to the side of the road while I still had visibility, turn the car off, turn the car on, and then the wiper control was functional again. If this had happened during a sudden downpour on the freeway it could have been much worse. For reference - I keep the automatic wiper setting on OFF. I did not troubleshoot enabling the automatic wiper setting during the incident.

"high voltage system failure" and inability to charge - co cooling and limited acceleration - took 7 1/2 weeks to repair - Tech found p1c0100 ac compressor motor underspend, recharged ac system nd found excessive freon

On [XXX], I leased a Honda Prologue from Honda Carland in Roswell, GA. Within a week, the vehicle displayed multiple braking system failure warnings, including “Braking system failure,” “Service Stabilitrak,” and “Brake assist failure.” One-pedal driving also became unavailable. Upon attempting to drive, the brakes were completely unresponsive, causing the car to roll down a ramp uncontrollably before eventually stopping. Despite multiple attempts, the brakes failed entirely, making the vehicle out of my control. I immediately called Honda’s OnSite service, and the car was towed back to the dealership. The dealership initially diagnosed the issue as a loose connector that was allegedly not properly attached during assembly. They assured me the vehicle was now functioning as designed. However, about a week later, the same critical brake failure occurred again. The car would not brake, forcing me to request another tow back to Honda Carland. This time, the dealership claimed the issue was due to a faulty brake master unit, which they replaced—a far more serious defect than initially diagnosed. Given the life-threatening nature of repeated total brake failure, I refused to drive the vehicle and attempted to return it. In researching this issue, I have found similar complaints in online searches, including the NHTSA database, suggesting that this may be a much broader issue affecting Honda Prologue vehicles manufactured in 2024. This is not a minor issue—it is a safety hazard that puts my life and the lives of others at risk. I am not willing to drive this defective vehicle, and I urge the NHTSA to investigate this matter immediately to ensure that no other driver is put in danger due to brake system defects in the Honda Prologue.

I bought Prologue ELITE AWD on January 31st 2025 and drove 1000 miles. The steering is very stiff and makes squeaking noise while parking and turning. This sound is audible while the car is going slow; however, when the car speed is above 20 mph we may not hear, but my guess is it still there. If this fails during sharp turns, there is chance of damaging my own car and even other cars putting others and myself into safety risk. There are no warning lamps and messages. The problem first appeared after 5-7 days after the purchase; however, I thought the car is new and being adjusted for the ride with the huge 21 inch tires it has. Additionally, the car has problem with suspension, after a ride and when placing it in park mode, the suspension of the car swings enabling the car to move forward and backward possibly hitting the car infront or back damaging the other cars too.

Loud clicking from the front axle area when making a left turn. Typically happens when making a quicker left turn. Has occurred three times in a ten day period.

Vehicle makes a loud banging noise when turning. Dealer Service Department inspected car and stated the front axles need to be replaced. There are no parts available and the time frame for repair is unknown.

when turn i hear a clicking sound dealer technician acknowledges sound but refuses to repair. forward collision system sees things that are not there and slams on the brakes for no reason. hvac system fails to heat until after driving for at least 45 minutes even after pre heating.

Complete Electric Failure multiple times now. Been in the shop multiple times.

When turning left from a stop, there is a clicking sound that is coming from the front left wheel area. I don't know if this is safety risk. I have not had a dealer inspection yet. There are no warning lights or messages in the car relating to this problem. It has happened several times. I first heard it at about 350 miles. The car now has about 700 miles. I have heard the noise at least 4 times.

Twice in the total 750 mileage on the Prologue, warnings have come on that state “Service High Voltage System" and "Reduced Acceleration Drive with Care.” This occurred on 01/03/2025 at ~300 miles and again on 02/02/2025 ~750 miles. This error seems to be widespread with low-mileage Prologues, but Honda does not appear to be recalling to correct.

Twice, a "service high voltage" error light has come on and it has said it impacts the ADAS and safety systems and the acceleration of the vehicle. The light disappeared after a short drive, but the heating system stopped working. The first time, we took it to the dealership and they reset the system and the heat came back a little, but seems to struggle under 32 degrees, and especially sub 15/20 degrees. The second time was this morning - the heat is barely working at all. Very frustrating for a vehicle under 2000 miles.

I was driving on the freeway when a few error lights came on—the Reduced Acceleration, Propulsion System Icon, and a turtle icon on the dashboard and I had to floor the accelerator pedal to maintain my speed. I then pulled over, and the vehicle wouldn’t shift into drive or reverse. It gave an error message saying “conditions not meet.” Eventually, the car started working again. This is an ongoing issue with the car and Honda doesn’t want to do a buyback, this car is a lemon. I keep taking it to the dealer and all they do is clear the codes and state they can’t “duplicate” any of my concerns.

When turning and accelerating, there are a series of loud clicking or creaking noises. Seems to happen more in cold weather, although I notice it all the time.

Twice the prologue warnings have come on that state “service high voltage system" and "reduced acceleration. There is no AC/HEAT in the vehicle under 35 degrees. Under 6000 miles

When I turn from stop or an uneven piece of road, I can hear a knocking noise come from my car. I know that other Honda Prologue owners have experienced the same issue.

All lights related to brakes lighted up on a dashboard ( and message to take it to Dealer). Took it to Dealer. Car is in the shop for over 5 weeks and they can't figure it out what's wrong. They've replaced brake booster (twice!!!!!) and that didn't fix it... Now replacing front calipers. On top of that cv axle is clicking terrible and they can't replace it because it's on long Backorder ( I'm waiting over 2 months for it already.

The front axel or CV joints are making a metallic grinding and clacking sound when turning, especially when turning up curvy roads with a steep incline. Further, there is a loud clacking sound (from the same area, under the hood) when the vehicle is on the highway at speeds greater than 55 mph. This issue started around 2,000 miles but has increased to become a signficant disruption now at 9,500 miles.

This vehicle started making a clicking sound at 2000 miles when turning. This is a known issue with the 2024 axels that Honda refuses to fix. I took this in to my dealer and they said it was normal, that all of the 2024 models are making this sound.

Heard knocking noise when making a right hand turn on a steep embankment. Thought nothing of it but as time went on the noise became more frequent even with the slightest incline. Decided to take it to the dealership to get checked out. Was told there was a known issue with the cv joints and parts would be placed on order. Eight months later and still no fix, I spoke to my service consultant and was told these parts are on back order. Noise is getting worse and happening more often than not when turning. Car is at 11k miles.

Anytime I turn the steering wheel to the left, there is a really loud clanking noise coming from the front left tire. It gets really loud when the car is cold, and only slightly improve when the car is warmed up. I worry that there is a problem with the axle that can be a safety issue. While I am just reporting this today, it has been going on for at least 12 months.

On multiple occasions the alert for either the forward or rear collision warning system will sound with nothing either in front of or behind the vehicle. In these cases, the car automatically braked and brought the car to a stop in the middle of my driving. The component is not available for inspection. This puts myself and others at risk by completely overriding my ability to control the vehicle until I am able to put the car back in gear and begin moving again. It completely immobilizes the car for several seconds. It is also a safety hazard because I have been forced to turn off the automatic braking for both the front and rear collision warning systems. This problem has not been confirmed by the dealer, nor have any of the parts been inspected by those listed above. There were no warnings or messages before the problem began.

At slower speeds and tight turning, there is a clacking sound that occurs. I went to the dealer, and they say it is a known issue, but that Honda doesn't have a fix for it yet and didn't say whether they would fix it or not. I read this has something to do with CV joints and axle, and that is concerning that it could become a safety concern. I have read many people are complaining about it. I am hoping by submitting my complaint, you will force a recall to have Honda correct the design issue and take the corrective action.

As others have reported here and elsewhere online, my Prologue emergency braking/collision detection system repeatedly activates when there is no danger of a collision. Backing out of my driveway I can expect that 25-50% of the time the car will slam on the brakes for no reason and apply the parking brake, which I then have to disengage manually to continue backing out. More recently, I was driving 30 mph on a city street with no one in front of me when without warning the Prologue slammed to a complete stop. Fortunately no one was behind me or I almost certainly would have been rear-ended. After four months of owning the Prologue, and seeing this exact problem reported over and over again, it's evident the entire electronics system is glitchy at best and downright dangerous at worst. Everything from the crash-avoidance cameras (regularly issues messages that they're blocked when they're obviously not) to the remote starter (supposed to come on with two quick presses of a button on the fob, but often takes a dozen or more to actually activate) is borderline non-functional. Whether this is a software or a hardware problem, or some combination thereof, there's no question in my mind that sooner or later, as more of these vehicles are on the road, one of these malfunctions is going to cause a crash. I hope the NHTSA will see enough of a quorum of similar complaints to investigate before that happens. For my part, I've turned off all driver assist systems in my Prologue, which is the only way I can be assured the car will only brake when it should. Additionally, again as many others have reported, my Prologue knocks somewhere in the vicinity of the front axle whenever I corner sharply enough in either direction.

While driving in traffic, the car unexpectedly applied the brakes and displayed a 'Service High Voltage System' warning on the dashboard. Shortly after, another message appeared: 'Service Vehicle Soon,' followed by 'Reduced Acceleration - Drive with Care.' The car isn't charging and lacks the speed needed to drive on the highway.

Propulsion System Failure light came on and vehicle lost all cabin heat. This occurred in winter (January) and since there is no heat all vehicle windows fog over, obscuring the view of the road and other drivers. All vehicle occupants are also at risk of exposure due to complete lack of heating in sub-freezing January temperatures.

When driving slow and on turning radius, suspension clicking noise

Back up Camera -- Honda Prologue Elite model does not have night vision back up camera. In the night when you reverse your car nothing is visible unless you press breaks. I realized this when I got loaner car and lower model has full visibility in the dark but my Elite back up camera does not have night vision. I complaint this issue with Honda Repair center and they asked me to complaint to Honda manufacturer as all Elite has same problem. I called many time to Honda but not response. Sensor - hands-free access does not work every time. it works only randomly. I complaint this to the repair center and they said all the car has the same issue so we cannot do anything about this. As my car is on lease, they are not cancelling my lease or replacing my car.

When turning left or right i am getting a clicking noise dealership is ordering 2 drive axels parts on back order no eta!

1. When I turn my car either left of right there is a huge noise under the hood at the joint like a cracking noise. It is very concerning and doubt that some thing big is broken. I got to know in the forum that almost all the cars are having this issue. 2. When using my HondaLink app to unlock the door, sometimes the app has issues sending the signal to the car. This is a safety issue because in the event I lose my keys I will be locked out of my vehicle or in the even of an emergency when I need to access the vehicle quickly.

At approximately 400 miles of use on a new car I noticed clicking from the front steering axle when turning at low speeds. Service center at Honda daily reported this is a known issue with the.CV joint in the staring mechanism, but does not have parts for repair or replacement available.

I purchased the vehicle on January 27, 2025. The morning of Jan 29th, I had three error messages pop up. 1- Service High Voltage System 2- Service Vehicle Soon 3- Reduced Acceleration Drive With Cate The vehicle would not allow me to connect via Bluetooth. My phone was no longer paired. I took immediately to the service dept at the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. Was told it was an issue with the AC, an A/C pressure valve would need to be ordered. 7-10 days for part to come in. Vehicle is in service dept waiting to be repaired. Only 79 miles on the odometer.

knocking sounds when you turn. sounds like cv joint but dealer says its nothing and common. dealer known

Unknown braking while no objects in front or behind the car. Warns lane departure too late after you crossed halfway through the lane.

2024 Prologue has a knocking sounds when turning left and right. It has only gotten worse. Honda has provided no solution and there are no parts available at Service Centers as confirmed by a Service Adviser in Escondido, CA. Honda is aware I feel unsafe driving this vehicle and made no attempt to remedy the situation.

I was driving in the highway, at ~70mph with cruise control on when the error popped up. The temp was been 47-52°F. I got a message saying Service High Voltage System. I thought nothing of it and proceeded with rest of my trip. I went to even colder conditions and got down to 28°F at one point. I noticed that in the car, the AC was not working, it was only blowing cold air from outside. Eventually went to charge and and the car refused. I was 70 miles from home but was able to get a tow.

While backing up car will stop abruptly for no apparent reason. This has occurred several time and each time it occurs I think I hit something. It it very annoying and possibly dangerous if car abruptly stops while backing up.

I have a brand new Honda Prologue Elite that, within 500 miles of leasing it, has a loud knocking noise on both the front left and front right sides whenever I make a hard left or right turn. It sounds like a loud knocking/creaking noise and I usually hear it three times during a turn. It can be heard over a moderate volume radio. The sound has been replicated by a service technician at the dealership, who thought they corrected it (found a loose bolt under the panel under the passenger seat!) but they did not fix the actual problem and it continues. The sound remains and seems to be getting louder. I am increasingly concerned about what happens if the noise continues to get louder and the part(s) eventually fails - and where the car will go if that happens. This has happened on repeat occasions from 30-55 mph (though usually starting from a stop, like being at a light waiting for my chance to turn left).

The turn signal sometime signals the opposite direction after the completion of a turn. For example, I'll signal for a left turn, make a left turn, and the Honda starts signaling a right turn for about 3 seconds.

Loud clunking noise when making right turn from stop.
