Car makes clicking/knocking noise in front end when turning left or right. Took to dealership and they said it is likely CV joint issue. Part is on back order and awaiting part for replacement. Unclear how safe it is to drive in this condition. Occurred with around 2000 miles on the car.

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.

Regularly slams the emergency brakes when reversing out of the driveway when there is nothing there to warrant an emergency brake Additionally, it will not release the brakes for several seconds. I feel this could leave me stuck in the middle of the road and vulnerable to getting hit by an oncoming vehicle.

The EV battery would not charge. There were 2 messages, but nothing to indicate the issue, except that it was unable to charge. Took it into a dealer for service who stated that the freon was low. Without freon, the battery won't charge due to possible overheating. This was a brand new car - owned 2 days. They refilled the freon and charged the car. They could not find any leaks.

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.

Safety issue 1 Automatic collision breaking is too sensitive when going in reverse. The vehicle locked up the brakes several times when I was trying to reverse causing myself and my family‘s heads to snap back suddenly. Safety issue 2 -knocking sound coming from the CV joint when backing up and turning at the same time. This usually happens when it’s cold outside. This is a safety issue because if the CV joint fails, this could cause loss of control of the vehicle while driving.

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.

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.

There is clicking in what I believe are the CV axles while turning left and right. The heat does not work in the blistering cold which causes loss of visibility since the defrost won’t work. When this happens the vehicle gives a red warning light indicating “service high voltage system/battery.” I have taken it into the dealership 3 times now for the same reasons and each time they can’t diagnose the issue.

When engaging the right turn signal and upon completing a right turn, the left turn signal activates three times when the signal stalk returns to the center position. Took vehicle to Honda dealership where it was confirmed. Honda dealership replaced turn signal switch. Vehicle continuing to experience this problem, intermittently. This is a potential safety risk as other vehicles will see the left turn signal activated on your vehicle and may think you are trying to turn left or switch lanes, when you are not.

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.

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.

I have a new Honda Prologue with less than 300 miles. The Vehicle Drive Shaft makes clicking noise at the CV Joint when I make a left hand turn. I took it to my local Honda Dealership, Roush Honda in Westerville, Ohio. They acknowledged the problem and in fact saw the same problem on a new Prologue that is on their lot. They told me they would contact Honda about my problem and hopefully arrange to get my vehicle repaired. I have heard/read that the part needed to repair my car is backordered due to nationwide shortage caused by this vehicle defect on numerous 2024 Honda Prologues. Prologues owners with this defect are being told the car is safe to drive. This is a guess on the part of the dealership staff since they really don’t know what the implications will be if their is a catastrophic failure of the defective part while someone is driving,

When turning left or right at low speeds, I hear loud clicking noises. It is available for inspection. I'm not sure if this is a safety issue. There were no warning lamps or other messages prior to the issue. The symptom first appeared around 2500 miles on the odometer. I read on the forums that it could be related to the CV joints, so took it to my dealership and let them know. They did not document that I said CV joints, but did write down that there was a clicking noise. They kept my vehicle for three days, said they contacted Honda, replaced the axel using an axel from another new car on the lot, and the same noise was there. They said that it was not a safety issue, and that they would notify me when a fix was available.

I drive up the same hill everyday and when slightly turning left along a curve going up hill, and if there is a parked car present on the right side of the road, the car will abruptedly stop. If I slow down to less than 20 mph, the car won't stop, but doesn't seem like it should happen at normal driving speeds.

When turning sharply and accelerating at low speeds or from a stop, vehicle makes clicking sound. Vehicle is brand new, and I noticed this with about 600mi on the vehicle. I'm concerned this could lead to future loss of steering and cause an accident or render vehicle not drivable. I have taken it to the dealer and their mechanic confirmed hearing the same clicking noise and is awaiting guidance from the manufacturer (Honda corporate) on how to resolve it. I'm still waiting for a solution .

An incident involving the collision warning system of a car resulted in the car abruptly braking without any apparent immediate danger or obstacle in front of the vehicle. The system activated the automatic emergency braking feature in response to a perceived threat that did not exist. This phenomenon is known as “phantom braking,” where the vehicle’s sensors misinterpret the surrounding environment, leading to an unnecessary and sometimes forceful deceleration. The abrupt braking action startled the me, creating a situation of potential confusion and concern. Fortunately, no collision occurred, but this incident highlights a serious safety risk associated with phantom braking events.

I am reporting an ongoing issue with my vehicle involving a persistent and concerning clicking sound emanating from the chassis or suspension area. The sound is most prominent when driving over bumps or uneven surfaces, and it has the distinct quality of something snapping or popping under pressure. The noise appears to be coming from the undercarriage of the vehicle, though it is difficult to pinpoint the exact source. Details of the Issue: The clicking noise has become increasingly noticeable. The sound is sharp and distinct, similar to the noise one would expect from a component under strain or sudden impact. This has led to growing concerns regarding the integrity of the suspension or chassis, as it suggests that one or more parts may be loose, damaged, or malfunctioning.
