Honda Prologue 2025: Retiros, Quejas y Ley de Limón de California

When turning at low speeds and sometimes on the highway the car will mta clicking noise and even drift to the right . I’ve had a wheel alignment done and the problem still continues

NHTSA #11733259

Axle clicking when turning. Car visited dealer on Jan2026 and they requested replacement parts. Last update from dealer stats Honda stopped replacing them due to defective parts. Replacement part is under design.

NHTSA #11728943

The 2025 Honda Prologue is 7 months old with 5424 miles has a clicking sound when you turn all the way left or all the way right. It is a defective design part that will continue to get worse until the vehicle will become undrivable. Honda Corporation is aware of the problem as the 2024 Prologue has the same issue.

CV axel joints clicking, at risk of breaking

NHTSA #11735418

I own a 2025 Honda Prologue Touring. I have a Clicking and popping noise coming from the CV axel on both sides when turning. It seems to be getting worst as I keep driving. The clicking from the CV joint has become unbearable.

NHTSA #11730688

My 2026 Honda Prologue makes clicking sounds when executing turns. The problem was confirmed in a diagnostic assessment at the Honda dealer at about 7,500 miles (2/4/26). The service rep. said Honda was looking into the problem (CV joints/bearings), but there was no current solution, and they would contact me when a solution became available. The rep. said Honda did not consider this a safety issue. I also own a Honda Civic that has made almost identical clicking noises when its CV joints were failing. In those cases, the Honda dealers always stressed the problem needed addressing in a timely manner as failing CV joints could pose a significant safety hazard. Why has Honda adopted a contradictory stance regarding this CV joint issue with the Prologue? I would urge the NHTSA to investigate the problem (widely reported on Prologue user forums) to determine if it constitutes a safety issue. If confirmed, I would encourage a formal safety recall be implemented to protect the public. This would also help ensure Honda rolls out a solution while the vehicles are still under warranty. (Vehicle is available for inspection by NHTSA and/or manufacturer.)

On March 18, 2026, while driving a leased Honda Prologue in rush-hour traffic on a major highway in [XXX] , the vehicle suddenly shut down and would not restart for approximately two minutes. The incident occurred without any warning messages, alerts, or notifications and created an extremely dangerous situation. At the time of the incident, traffic had been stop-and-go for approximately three miles. Without warning, the radio turned off, all dashboard lights went dark, and the vehicle lost power and stopped moving. I attempted to restart the car multiple times, but it would not turn on. On approximately the seventh or eighth attempt, the vehicle finally restarted, allowing me to safely pull off the highway. Fortunately, the slow-moving traffic prevented a rear-end collision with vehicles behind me. I began leasing the vehicle this past summer, and at the time of the incident it had fewer than 2,600 miles on the odometer. I took the vehicle to the dealership that same evening. During their inspection, the dealership identified several “Lost Communication” diagnostic trouble codes in the vehicle logs. The most significant code identified was B1B42 – Start/Stop Switch Not Plausible. The service team also noted that the manufacturer’s troubleshooting checklist references codes B1B15 or B1B15 2A; however, those codes were not present. Based on the findings, the dealership replaced the S38 Start/Stop Switch. I resumed driving the vehicle two days ago and have not yet experienced any further issues. However, I remain extremely concerned about the seriousness of this failure. If this same issue were to occur again at higher speeds or in faster-moving traffic, it could result in a severe accident. The complete loss of power without warning represents a significant safety risk and warrants further review.

I leased a Honda Prologue on June 25, 2025. Approximately two months ago, I began noticing a noise coming from the front axles when turning left or right. I scheduled an appointment with my nearest Honda dealership and reported the issue. A few hours later, I was informed that the matter is currently under investigation and that Honda does not have a solution at this time. I also contacted Honda of America directly and was advised that there is still no resolution for this issue. My primary concern is safety. I am unsure whether this unresolved issue could develop into a more serious problem in the future, especially since this vehicle is regularly used by my wife to transport our son to school. This uncertainty is extremely concerning. I find it unacceptable and disrespectful for Honda to sell or lease a vehicle with a known defect and no available solution. I expect a reliable and safe vehicle, particularly from a brand with Honda’s reputation.

While driving yesterday the service high voltage system light came on again. I have brought my vehicle to Honda 2 other times for the exact same issue. They fix whatever the issue is and the problem happens again. That last time it was about a month after bringing it to them but this time is has been 3 possibly 4 months but I have have the car less than 1 year.

NHTSA #11732303

Upon start-up the driver display was off, showing no information. Center infotainment display remained on. Attempted infotainment reset by pressing and holding the hang-up call button on the steering wheel, and after approximately 30 seconds the infotainment display turned off, driver display remained off. Shutdown and started car, both screens remained off.

There's a knocking or clicking sound when I turn, and sometimes when I'm not turning. It seems to be coming from the front left wheel area.

NHTSA #11734224

It makes a clicking sound when the steering is near the end of travel in either direction. I believe this is a problem becoming more and more common with the CV joint or axle. But this vehicle used on 2/24/26 with 17,000 miles on it.

NHTSA #11721514

Around 3000 miles both front axles developed a clicking sound when turning. The sounds has gotten progressively worse over the next 2000 miles. Honda dealer service center confirmed bad axles but states Honda America no longer allows them to replace the axles since the replacements are failing quickly. Second dealer also declined to fix defective axles stating Honda America is "working on a new part". No one knows what the part is or when it will potentially be available. Honda dealer now appraises the Prologue at *less than half* of the MSRP. (Vehicle has 5000 miles.)

While merging onto the freeway in [XXX] today, I was slowing in response to a metered light but did not come to a complete stop. When the light turned green, and I accelerated, the vehicle suddenly jolted and produced a loud impact noise, similar to hitting a large pothole. I returned to the on-ramp to check the roadway but found no visible obstruction or hazard that would explain the incident.

NHTSA #11730098

The axles on my vehicle are defective. Every time I make a turn (left, right, or U-turn) the vehicle makes a loud clicking noise. I’ve taken the vehicle in 3 times. Initially, Honda promised to fix the issue, yet each time I’ve gone in they always come up with an excuse (1st time: we ordered the wrong part, 2nd time: sorry we wasted your time today, the part still isn’t in yet, 3rd time: unfortunately Honda has released a bulletin, they are urging us not to replace the axles because it doesn’t fix the issue/does not pose a safety threat) this is after 3 TIMES. Each time my car was kept ALL day. Each time I would drop my car off at 8 am, and by the time I’m being called by my Honda service rep it’s already past 5 pm. My time has literally been wasted MULTIPLE TIMES. Why would you contact me to bring the car in so many times if you knew you were never going to fix the problem to begin with? The bulletin that was shown to me was released on 12/19/25. The problem is, the date that I was in (my 3rd and final time) was on 1/27/26. So why would you string me along for over a month if you knew that bulletin had already been released? Completely diabolical. Honda wasted my time and refuses to fix the problem. This vehicle is an issue and EVERYONE knows it. All of the Honda Prologue forums literally say the exact same thing from owners of this vehicle (AXLE ISSUES). This is a safety hazard. Clicking axles are not normal on a BRAND NEW car. Ridiculous. I’ve even tried to get out of my lease and they are not allowing me to (without penalty of course). I’m mad at myself for even purchasing this car. Shame on you Honda!!!

The rearview camera does not function properly at night.

NHTSA #11739069

Reverse camera and the associated lights are VERY dim. It is very difficult to see out the rear camera.

NHTSA #11701587

The contact owns a 2025 Honda Prologue. The contact stated that while shifted into reverse(R) at night, the reverse lights provided inadequate lighting. The contact stated the image on the display screen was basically black, and shadows were visible. The brake pedal was tapped to illuminate the rear of the vehicle. The contact had not yet taken the vehicle to a local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 7,700.

NHTSA #11723603

Happens frequently. While it has not yet caused the vehicle to fully slam on the brakes, it will occasionally flash the brake warning and apply the brakes even when there are no obstacles present. Additionally, when backing out of the driveway, the vehicle sometimes detects the road surface as an obstruction and abruptly applies the brakes. This occurs consistently in the same location, likely due to the steep angle of the driveway.

NHTSA #11730097

On 2 occasions (before a dealer initiated system update), without anyone in jeopardy of being hit in front of me, my vehicle suddenly and shockingly halted - I had no idea what was happening and thought someone hit me from behind. First instance I was at a 4 way stop sign at a complete stop with much traffic in all directions. I had ample distance in front of me. Second instance, I was driving through a green light at an intersection - again not close to hitting anyone and in control of my brakes and speed, and my car stopped - almost causing the person behind me to hit me!!! It was a busy intersection!!! My dealer said they did a system update for my vehicle this past weekend, but the same thing happened again today in a busy intersection. Additionally; the organice brake warning randomly appears on my main control panel for no reason - when I have ample clear runway ahead of me!!! I am shook and so not feel safe in this vehicle. My elderly mother in law as a passenger on one of the instances nearly had a heart attack!!

NHTSA #11711285

The infotainment system screens go black sometimes for no reason. Been to the dealer to fix and they said they can’t duplicate the issue. Yet I have pictures and videos to prove it. The drivers assist systems turn themselves off when there is nothing blocking the cameras. Causing the one pedal driving to start applying the brakes and almost causing me to be rear ended multiple times. The AWD system is horrible. The traction control will turn on with cruise set and completely dry roads. But when it’s actively raining it slips and slides and hydroplanes do without activating any system to counteract it. The charger door was broken when I bought the vehicle and had to have it replaced. The charger itself sometimes says it can’t charge for some reason and I have to unplug it and plug it back in. The heater doesn’t get warm unless cranked to the highest setting otherwise it blows colder air. The dealership I took it to literally said they don’t want me to bring it in there anymore and to go to another dealership because and I quote “those guys know nothing about EVs so fuck them go to another dealership” the next closest dealership is 2 hours away and I work full time including weekends. So tell me how I’m supposed to make that work? The charger is now having an issue where it doesn’t charge and I have to remove the charger and plug it back in.

NHTSA #11710527

Multiple times, my REAR collision automatic braking has activated when in reverse while barely moving and the vehicle was not at risk of collision. After 2 incidents, I turned the system off. Incident 1) I was reversing into a parking spot with plenty of space and the vehicle automatically applied the brakes, aggressively. It made me think I hit something but there was nothing around the vehicle. Incident 2) I was on the street at a 4 way stop. Car turning in towards me was going to need more space, so I reversed and while inching backwards with a pedestrian on the SIDE of the vehicle walking forwards from my rear, the vehicle aggressively applied the brakes, causing my passengers to think I hit something- but again nothing around the vehicle that was at risk of being hit. It was after this second incident that I turned the system off.

The contact owns a 2025 Honda Prologue. The contact stated that while attempting to reverse at night, the back-over prevention camera display was very dark, and the visual was not clear. No warning lights were illuminated. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact was advised that the VIN was not included in an open recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 600.

NHTSA #11690537

The contact owns a 2025 Honda Prologue. The contact stated that while reversing at night or in the dark, the rear-view camera image was extremely dark, making the image very difficult to see. The contact stated that the failure created a visibility hazard for the driver. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The dealer informed the contact that the backup camera operated as designed. The manufacturer was not contacted or notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 10.

NHTSA #11685205

Backup camera is completely black when it is dark outside, making it worthless. It is fine during daylight hours. The local Honda dealer acknowledged that there is a problem, but stated that Honda has no solution for it at this time.

NHTSA #11743869

The backup camera on this vehicle is basically useless at night if there are no streetlights around. I don’t know if this is a combination of a poor camera and dim reverse lights or just a bad camera, but I think it’s a safety hazard. This is new vehicle using current technology, the camera should be able to see at night, or the reverse lights need to be brighter. What is the point of a reverse camera if I can’t see anything out of it.

NHTSA #11704636

Vehicle, in one-pedal-drive, began to enter an intersection from a stop sign into a left turn--mild reasonable torque applied onto a 25mph street. Vehicle entered intersection and began stuttering/slow/shaking until near/complete stop and loss of acceleration in middle of busy intersection. Traction control light illuminated briefly prior to resumption of acceleration. Road conditions were dry, slightly foggy. There was no reason for safety systems/ABS/Traction control etc. to over react. Honda dealership reported no relevant code to explain incident--which indicates vehicle also did not flag it as an aberration. Vehicle had just been at dealership day prior and received software update and reported inspection. Honda dealership will not take further action unless reproducible with error codes to tell them how to address. Specific component, electrical, or software failure reportedly unknown and remains unaddressed by Honda at this time.

NHTSA #11721933

Unknown electrical issue in the cold. Saw posts online about people getting "High voltage system" errors and after a few days in the cold it happened to me. Dealership couldn't find the issue and simply cleared the error codes telling me to come back in if it happens again. Huge issue, as it limits the range to protect the system from further issues but doesn't give me enough range to even drive home from work if the errors appears during my commute. Occasionally my front sensors don't work but give no indication of any issues, other times it notifies me that they need cleaned, but not always. Not reliable enough to trust in anything but perfect circumstances. I am also getting the CV joint clicking issue occasionally when turning, unsure if related to cold weather or not but it has only happened in 10-20 degree weather. Sounds very bad when it occurs, not very reassuring when driving a car with less than 6000 miles on it.

Axle clicking initially only while making turns left and right - now when it drives straight the axle sometimes clicks as well.

NHTSA #11724393

The CV Axle joint has prematurely worn down and makes a popping sound when executing a sharp turn at low speeds. Honda is aware of the issue and has noted that it is widespread; however, they have offered no solution for fixing it.

NHTSA #11727747

The vehicle makes a noticeable clicking sound when making routine left and right turns. This noise is not coming from the cabin of the vehicle, but sounds like it's coming from the wheels/axles. I have observed some level of clicking sound during turns since I purchased the vehicle in May 2025, but with each passing month, the volume and frequency of the clicking has increased. I now feel unsafe making any turns at 90 degrees or greater as the steering feels insecure and sounds indicate possible hazard/parts failure during vehicle operation. Almost all turns feel as though they are pushing the vehicle to the limit and I fear the parts/joints will fail while the vehicle is in operation. U-Turns are nearly out of the question. If a vehicle cannot safely and effectively make a greater degree of turn, then the turning radius should not allow a driver to put the vehicle into that position. However, for this vehicle, it seems almost any turning at all would then be completely impossible. As the car is still new and well within warranty, I will be taking it to my dealership for inspection and repair. The vehicle has never been in any type of collision or accident of any kind.

The backup camera at night is practically black. I find many people complaining about this online, but no fix. It is dangerous to back that car up at night!!! There must be a fix before someone gets hurt. Either upgrade the camera or upgrade the backup lighting

NHTSA #11678041

The contact owns a 2025 Honda Prologue. The contact stated that while attempting to make a left or right turn, there was an abnormal sound coming from the front passenger’s side axle. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the axle needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline by the manufacturer to report the failure. The failure mileage was 100.

NHTSA #11683627

Vehicle was taken to dealer for click noise Hurd while turning right around only 4k miles. The dealer confirmed the noise using a mechanics ear they said as of right now no replacement has been authorized. Honda is investigating. January 2026 car started clicking while in curves and any movement in steering. Still no fix. March 2026 still not fix because Honda hasn’t investigated yet and now my system has horrible issues with the auto break and rear collision avoidance system. Hondas “fix” turn it off. Why wouldn’t get a touring model with all those features just to have them tuned off.

While driving normally, my 2025 Honda Prologue experienced an immediate, catastrophic mechanical and electronic failure in both the steering and braking systems. The steering wheel completely locked up/failed to respond, and the brakes became completely non-functional simultaneously, causing an absolute loss of control of the vehicle. Due to this sudden system failure, the vehicle veered off course and crashed, resulting in severe structural damage, complete destruction of the front passenger-side suspension, and rendering the vehicle a total loss. American Honda Motor Co. Corporate was immediately notified of this severe safety defect (Case No. 16372717. However, Honda Corporate has explicitly refused to send an engineer or inspector to evaluate the vehicle's electronic or mechanical logs, and they also refused to provide their denial statement in writing. The vehicle remains un-repaired as evidence of this dangerous factory defect.

NHTSA #11739358

Exiting the interstate waiting to turn right and behind one car that was able 10 feet in front of me, the car suddenly slammed on the brakes hard enough to make me think I was hit by another car. There was nothing close by.

NHTSA #11736478

Clicking noise coming from the front axles when turning either right or left. ADAS settings seem to be too sensitive. Car slams on the emergency brake when backing out of a parking spot with no obstacles in view. Forward warning system alerts occur even though there is nothing in front of the car.

NHTSA #11735809

At about 5000 miles the car began a slight clicking noise after turning left. When the wheel was straightening out. As time progressed it started happening both left and right turns and the noise got louder. Honda dealer said that was normal without looking at it. How is a loud clicking noise normal on a car with under 7000 miles. Trying to get axles replaced but they are denying the repair as it’s just loud and noisy. The wheel also has a slight vibration now.

As I was driving the car this error message came on. The battery was depleting faster than usual. Luckily I was able to get to a Honda dealer asap if not the car would go into “turtle mode” could stall in the middle of traffic. Also probably could not charge the car again due to this issue.

While driving with cruise control engaged, the car had a false positive for forward collision detection and slammed on the brakes at full Highway speed. After about one of second of emergency braking the car released the brakes and resumed cruise control as normal. There were NO other vehicles on the road in front or to the side of us at the time. Due to the unexpected braking, the vehicle following us almost collided into us. The event triggered just before the shadow of the bridge was on road of the underpass. I suspect it was the shadow that might have contributed to this event. However, this is not the first time the vehicle has had false positives in the forward collision detection system. We have experienced many of these, but typically at lower speeds. Generally speaking the “triple beep” and associated Heads Us Display red “brake” symbols briefly flash, then goes away without engaging the brakes automatically, again with these there are no other vehicles present. We have called two different dealers to report this and they tell us there is no associated TSB/service bulletin or recall for our vehicle and no software update for this. We tell them that GM has had several software updates for their Ultium platform with their other vehicles to fix this, but there is still nothing from Honda. There is a SB 25-051 for the 2024 prologues that would seem to address this but it’s not applicable to the 2025 according to them even though the symptoms are the same. This needs to be looked into as BOTH dealers told us that they had several other customers complaining about the same thing.

Infotainment screens went black as I was shifting from reverse to drive. It took about 15 seconds for the screens to come back.

NHTSA #11722575

The vehicle has twice displayed a “Service High Voltage System” warning followed by “Reduced Acceleration – Drive With Care.” When this occurs, the vehicle enters a reduced-power (turtle) mode that severely limits acceleration. Cabin heat also stopped working, and the vehicle would not charge beyond approximately 25%, restricting driving range. OnStar diagnostics reported a critical error. The vehicle and diagnostic history are available for inspection upon request. The first incident occurred while driving around town. Although I was close to home, the reduced acceleration created concern because the vehicle could not respond normally to traffic. The second incident was significantly more dangerous and occurred in heavy traffic and on the freeway about 40 miles from home during heavy rain. The limited acceleration made merging and maintaining a safe traffic speed difficult, placing myself and others at risk. I have only been able to get the dealer to take the vehicle in one time, specifically for this issue, and that was because the warning lights were still on at arrival. Staff observed the warnings at check-in, but by the time the vehicle reached the service area, the lights had cleared. The dealer stated they could not perform repairs without active warnings, though stored codes reportedly indicated a low-voltage condition. Additionally, a clicking noise from the wheel area began about 1,500 miles ago and occurs consistently when turning, similar to a CV axle concern. During a separate visit, the dealer put in writing that they could not do anything about the noise and did not diagnose or inspect it, which left me uneasy about potential drivetrain safety. The intermittent high-voltage fault, reduced acceleration, charging limitation, loss of heat, and unresolved drivetrain noise create ongoing safety concerns due to the unpredictable nature of the failures.

NHTSA #11719218

I have had multiple occurrences where as I'm accelerating into a turn at normal /slow speeds the traction control activates and my vehicle almost comes to a stop almost causing an accident with the vehicles behind me. This was on dry pavement and not heavy acceleration so the traction system should not have activated.

NHTSA #11722435

During a normal commute on the highway, the vehicle suddenly lost all engine power and stalled in the middle of high speed traffic. The vehicle could not exceed 8 mph while attempting to pull to the side of the road for safety. There were no warning lights (other than a low tire pressures - normal for cold days) and no error messages. The car was unable to get started for about 10 minutes. Eventually, the engine started and the vehicle was able to make it back to our residence. The battery was near 55% at the time of the incident (out of a maximum of 80% recommended charge) In terms of safety, this was a near fatal incident, as suddenly losing power and stalling in the middle of the highway during high speed traffic and snowy conditions could have been devastating.

Vehicle: 2025 Honda Prologue Location: Sacramento, California Date of Incident: [XXX] What failed or malfunctioned The vehicle experienced a sudden loss of directional stability involving the steering system, brake-by-wire system, and electronic stability control (ESC). Steering and braking inputs did not produce proportional vehicle response. What happened While driving under normal conditions, the vehicle began drifting to the left. I attempted to steer back to the right and applied braking; however, the vehicle did not respond as expected. Electronic stability control did not appear to engage or correct the loss of control. The vehicle then deviated from its intended path, overturned, and struck a fence. The vehicle was declared a total loss. No other vehicles were involved, and no injuries occurred. Safety risk This failure created an immediate and serious safety risk. The loss of steering and braking effectiveness could have resulted in severe injury or fatality. The rollover demonstrates a critical safety concern. Warning signs No warning lights, messages, or symptoms were present prior to the failure. The event occurred suddenly without notice. Inspections The vehicle was inspected by police and insurance representatives. The manufacturer has not yet inspected the vehicle. The vehicle remains available for inspection through the insurance provider. Dealer confirmation The issue has not yet been reproduced due to the vehicle being totaled. Additional concerns The vehicle’s behavior was inconsistent with normal operation of safety-critical systems designed to maintain vehicle control. I am concerned about system performance, calibration, or possible electronic control failure. Manufacturer contact I reported this issue to Honda Customer Care by phone and requested escalation to engineering review.

I recently purchased a 2025 Honda Prologue. I've had multiple issues with the advanced driver assistance systems. The rear automatic braking will slam the brakes on when I'm backing up if it detects something like a pedestrian on the sidewalk (that I am in no danger of hitting). I've also had issues with it misinterpreting where the lane lines are on the freeway, and automatically trying to incorrectly steer the car OUT of the lane, which is very dangerous, especially at freeway speeds. These systems can be disabled, but this must be done EVERY time you start the car. There is no way to completely turn them off and have them stay off. While I understand these systems were designed to improve safety, they are deeply flawed and actually make driving less safe. At the very least, there needs to be a way to permanently disable them. NHTSA needs to mandate that car companies, including Honda, offer drivers a choice to permanently disable these systems until the technology is much better than it currently is. Thank you.

NHTSA #11706373

Car started making knocking noise at 3k miles coming from axle. I reported to Dealership. Car sways on highways when steering straight. Car stop s at 10mph when turning corners saying that a pedestrian is infront of vehicle when there is no one. Backup camera glitches. Vehicle very unsafe. Dealership not doing anything. Contacted employees that sold me the vehicle and they are acting non chalant.

My vehicle recently began displaying the error messages “Service High-Voltage System” and “Reduced Acceleration – Drive With Care.” Since these warnings appeared, my vehicle’s heating system no longer works at all. This defect creates multiple serious safety hazards: 1.No heat in cold weather: Temperatures in my area are currently around 42°F, and the cabin cannot warm up. This creates an unsafe temperature environment for myself and especially for my children while driving. 2.No ability to defrost windows: Without heat, the vehicle cannot defog or defrost the windshield or windows. This severely impacts visibility and creates a dangerous driving condition. 3.Reduced acceleration: The vehicle warns of reduced performance, which may affect my ability to safely merge, change lanes, or respond to traffic conditions. These issues began without warning, and the loss of heating combined with high-voltage system errors makes me concerned about a potential electrical or battery system failure. This is a significant safety concern that needs to be investigated, as the vehicle is not safe to operate in its current state. I request that NHTSA look into this issue, as other owners have reported experiencing this same dangerous combination of high-voltage errors and loss of essential climate-control functions with no resolution from the manufacturer.

On December 1, 2025, the 2025 Honda Prologue was pulling into a parking spot between two parked vehicles at low speed. While in forward gear, the Prologue experienced an unexpected acceleration event and collided with three parked vehicles, two of whom were hit with sufficient force to impact adjacent parked vehicles. The driver is unaware of having pressed down on the accelerator and is additionally concerned about why none of the vehicle safety features such as the equipped Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) activated to prevent these collisions. The vehicle was brought to a local Honda dealership, yet they were unable to draw any conclusions regarding why the unexpected acceleration event occurred. The vehicle owner requested a DTC scan report and EDR (event data recording) data from the vehicle, and received the DTC report but not EDR data. The Honda dealership advised calling the American Honda customer service line with the case number to obtain EDR data. The customer service line was not able to assist because they were not able to identify the case manager, which points to a documentation error within Honda servicing processes.

Back up camera at night is extremely dark and visibility is near zero if there are no additional external light sources. This poses a safety risk as we are unable to see what's behind the vehicle. The vehicle has integrated LED lights and we are unable to upgrade the bulbs to be brighter. Either the night time mode for the camera isn't activating or the lights are too dim.

My 2025 Honda Prologue Elite is experiencing multiple safety-related issues. The front CV axles make a consistent clicking noise when turning, indicating a possible drivetrain or axle defect. The power tailgate also intermittently and unexpectedly closes on its own while loading or unloading, creating a risk of head injury. In addition, the infotainment screen and digital gauge cluster will randomly shut off while driving—sometimes for up to 30 seconds—leaving me without speed, range, or other essential telemetry while the vehicle is in motion. All of which the dealer will not address or states they can't replicate.

The contact owns a 2025 Honda Prologue. The contact stated that upon entering a parking lot at 5 MPH, the contact was attempting to park into a charging station. As the contact depressed the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to stop without warning. The contact repeatedly depressed the brake pedal as the vehicle accelerated and hit a tree. The air bags did not deploy upon impact as the contact's glasses flew off upon impact with the tree. The contact called the authorities, who informed her that they would not come to the scene if there were no injuries or damage to the tree. A police report was not filed. The contact sustained mental anguish and soreness in her collarbone, neck, and back. The contact later sought medical attention at an urgent care facility for her injuries. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the vehicle's computer was offline due to the accident, and the only codes that could be retrieved were codes related to the accident. The contact was informed that until the vehicle has been repaired for the front end damage, they would not be diagnose the cause of the brake failure.

When accelerating and turning left or right at the same time there is a severe clicking sound coming from the CV Joints sounds like they are cracked. This started to happen at 3500 miles. Brought it into the Honda dealership Service Department and they said it was a known issue and there was not a fix. Contrary to the research that I have done about this issue and Honda has been replacing these with a so-called new part number that fixes the issue. I am concerned because when turning and accelerating the stability of the vehicle does not feel safe.

The issue involves a failure of the braking system and related electronic control systems in a 2025 Honda Prologue. Prior to the failure, the vehicle displayed repeated warning messages including “Single Pedal Unavailable” and “Auto Hold Unavailable.” These warnings began appearing within approximately three weeks of taking delivery and became more frequent over time. The primary safety incident occurred while driving on a highway. Multiple warning indicators appeared simultaneously, including battery and maintenance alerts, and the vehicle began to decelerate automatically. When the brake pedal was applied, the brakes were completely unresponsive, creating a life-threatening situation. I was forced to continue driving for approximately one mile before bringing the vehicle to a stop using the parking brake. This incident placed both myself and other road users at significant risk due to the inability to slow or stop the vehicle under normal braking conditions at highway speed. The vehicle was towed to a Honda dealership (Folsom Lake Honda) for inspection and repair. The dealer returned the vehicle stating that the issue had been addressed. However, the same warning messages reappeared, and a second incident involving brake malfunction occurred, confirming that the problem was not resolved. The issue has been inspected by an authorized Honda service center, and the vehicle was diagnosed and repaired once, but the defect recurred after the repair. The vehicle has also been reported to the manufacturer (American Honda Motor Co.) for further action. This is a serious safety concern involving loss of braking capability at highway speeds, and the problem has occurred more than once despite attempted repairs.

My 2025 Honda Prologue Touring, purchased in August and currently with only 7,000 miles, is experiencing multiple serious safety issues. The vehicle has already had both the left and right axles replaced. by warranty Now, the left axle is failing again. A defective axle can break at high speeds, which puts my entire family at risk, including my baby. This issue compromises vehicle stability and could easily lead to a serious accident. Additionally, the vehicle’s collision mitigation system activates unexpectedly, causing the car to brake on its own without any obstacle present. This sudden braking is extremely dangerous, especially on the highway, as it could result in a rear-end collision. The blind-spot indicators also activate at random. When I attempt to turn right or left, the blind-spot warning turns on even when I double-check and confirm that there are no vehicles anywhere near me. This creates confusion and hesitation while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Given the repeated axle failures, unintended braking, and malfunctioning blind-spot monitoring system, I believe the vehicle presents significant safety defects that require investigation.

On october 1st i realized that my pilot power seat was making very bad noise when y push my back and the blind spot warning was giving me false alarms when i turn on the signals and make me scare because i don't see anyone next to me and the blind spot alarm turned on and this happens constantly. the rear cross traffic warning press the brake so hard that scares everyone and put my baby in risk because brakes so hard because my daughter is only [XXX] please fix all this issues.

When reversing in a dark or low light area I can't see behind the vehicle on the backup camera display. It seems like there is no night vision and the reverse lights don't illuminate behind the vehicle enough to see in the display or the rearview mirror. I've almost backed into objects because you cannot see behind the vehcle.

Drop off a few days after receiving vehicle. Picked up and dropped back off the same day due to issue repeating it self after being told there was no issue. Parts were supposedly replace on one of the occasions. No real time spent on the vehicle according to invoices. 8/28/25 -9/4/25 9/4/25 - 9/15/25 9/24/25 - 10/14/25 I have brought the car in for the same problem multiple times without it being rectified. I currently have videos and pictures from when this started to this current time. There are also other customers that have the same complaints that I do. Below is a list of issues that have been going on since first complaint including continued first complaint. I do believe that this is an issue and is a danger due to the reverse camera glitching due to the screen, not being able to get out of the screen, sometimes can not leave a parking space due to the sensor says that there is something in the way where indeed there is nothing. Also can not pull out of drive way during snow due to the car automatically breaking for snow. The collision for the front is always going off when there is no need for it to go off as this can cause someone to unexpectedly stop due to this being something that is supposed to be a warning. If this could happen to the vehicle constantly without a solution then this could be connected to something much more serious. There are other issues that have gone on as well that I have slowly started to notice and pay attention to. I do believe that the amount I am paying for this car it should not have these issues with out explanation. Clearly this is common and on going. One thing can lead to another with these issues. The screen in the middle of the dashboard —- Screen goes black for no known reason Screen flashing Screen is rainbow Touch screen will not work at these times When screen is glitching you can not turn volume down or off, disconnect phone, charging port goes out. Can not back out of parking space due to sensors going off.

The camera visibility systems on this vehicle become extremely dark and largely unusable at night. This affects multiple cameras, including the rear backup camera, which is the most problematic. In low-light conditions, the display does not provide a usable image of the area around or behind the vehicle. When reversing at night, the rear camera image becomes so dark that pedestrians, obstacles, or other vehicles behind the car cannot be seen. This creates a significant safety hazard because the driver cannot rely on the camera system to safely maneuver or reverse the vehicle. All rear lights and exterior lighting on the vehicle are functioning properly, which suggests the issue is related to the camera system itself, image processing, or the vehicle’s configuration for low-light conditions rather than a lighting failure. Because the rearview camera system is intended to provide rear visibility and prevent back-over incidents, the system failing to provide a usable image at night defeats its intended safety purpose and creates a risk of a back-over crash or collision. The issue has been persistent since the vehicle was delivered and occurs consistently during nighttime operation and other low-light conditions. The rear visibility system appears unable to perform its intended safety function under normal nighttime driving conditions, raising concerns about whether the system is functioning as required under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111 (Rear Visibility).

The contact owns a 2025 Honda Prologue. The contact stated that the battery was charged to 50 percent. The contact went to the charging station, but the vehicle failed to charge after two hours. The contact drove to another charging station and received a charge now message to slow down, and the vehicle shut down. Additionally, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle went into neutral. While driving 60-65 MPH, the vehicle went to 70 percent charge. There was an abnormal clicking sound coming from the axle and CV joint. While using the turn signal, the turn signal responded on the opposite side as intended and turned on the windshield wipers. The contact was unable to locate the hazard lights. The contact called OnStar, who contacted Honda for a jumpstart. Another tow company was contacted, who was unable to tow the vehicle due to the vehicle not shifting into neutral. The contact stated that another driver notified her that the headlights were off. The tow truck driver was able to locate the hazard lights and override the powertrain system. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 200.

I am reporting multiple safety-related failures with my 2025 Honda Prologue. The vehicle has an unresolved drivetrain/axle defect that affects safe operation, and the dealer has stated that axle components are on backorder with no repair timeline. In addition, the main vehicle control screen completely blacked out and will not turn back on. This screen controls critical vehicle and charging functions. Without it, I cannot control charging or access essential vehicle systems, rendering the vehicle unsafe and effectively unusable. Further, the charging port sensor failed to alert me that the charging port was open. Because no warning was provided, the port remained open and subsequently broke. This represents a failure of a safety-related sensor system that directly impacts the vehicle’s ability to charge and operate properly. The dealer has not provided a loaner vehicle or alternative transportation despite the vehicle being unsafe to operate. These combined defects substantially impair the safety, use, and value of the vehicle.
