2024 HONDA PROLOGUE Complaints

I cannot reverse with my car slamming on the brakes and it thinks I'm going to hit something when no one is behind

The vehicle emits a loud clicking or popping noise from the front axle/CV joints when turning from a complete stop, despite having very low mileage. It has already been serviced twice and is currently in service for the same issue. A failing CV axle is essential to steering and can pose significant safety risks, especially at higher speeds.

Knocking noise when making a right or left noise. Noise seems to slowly get louder.

Clicking nose from axles when making hard left or right turns. Took to dealer and it took 2 visits to repair. Driver’s door window leaks when it rains or I go thru a car wash. My left shoulder gets dripped on. My car now has 7,500 miles. Both of these issues were present from day 1.

At almost 20,000 miles my car shut itself off while I was still driving. I was slowing down to a stop but my car was not functioning properly, could not turn my car off, put in park or turn of parking break. I had to sit in the middle of the street for at least a minute until I was able to shut off my car and restart it again. I drove straight to the Honda dealership. Waiting on diagnostic results. Also, I have always had a problem reversing out of a parking space when it rains. The emergency sensor reads an object behind me and automatically breaks even though I am the only car in the parking lot. It takes me minutes to back out enough to turn my car.

I purchased a brand-new car from Freeway Honda (1505 Auto Mall Dr, Santa Ana, CA 92705) in December 2024. Since then, I’ve been experiencing an issue where the car makes clicking noises when turning the steering wheel left or right. It appears to be related to the axles, and this is not normal for a new vehicle. This situation is becoming extremely frustrating, as I bought this car for comfort and peace of mind—not to feel unsafe or uncomfortable while driving.

1. Infotainment system completely shuts off at random moments and not form of reset will bring them to work again. 2. Forward Collision Warning: Will sound at times even if there is absolutely nothing ahead of you. 3. Lane departure is not always “available at this time”.

Persistence issues with warning indicators appearing and charging capabilities on vehicle being reduced from 80% to 27% or 25%, which is approximately 67 miles total, and charging capacity cannot be increased either on the app of the vehicle or directly through the vehicle. Warning indicators displayed include "Service Vehicle Soon" and "Service High Voltage System". Four light indicators appear, one yellow turtle symbol, two red battery looking symbols, and a red car symbol. Incident has occurred a total of 5 times within approximately a 50-day period. Dealership where vehicle was leased has attempted to fix the issue four times without any success, issue has now appeared a total of 5 times.

Leased vehicle 8/31/24, HondaLink app crashed within 45 minutes of leaving the dealership. Spent the next 3.5 months on the phone and emailing regularly with Honda for assistance, updates, or a solution, usually with limited response and no resolution. We were told by Honda to not drive the car until the issue was resolved, but they wouldn’t take it in to a shop or anything. The issue was resolved 12/13/2024 and it finally worked - and just crashed again. Unfortunately critical updates are sent through the app, so this puts us at risk if an update is available and inaccessible to us due to the app issue. The car also randomly changes settings such as lights, window locks, door locks settings, CarPlay won’t work, wireless CarPlay does not work, drops phones completely off, slams on the brakes while backing up, and recently started slamming on the brakes going forward with no hazards in sight (reported separately). These issues cause it to be unsafe to drive this vehicle.

While driving my 2024 Honda Prologue, the automatic emergency braking system (part of Honda's Collision Mitigation Braking System) has activated unexpectedly and forcefully multiple times — with no obstacle or vehicle ahead. The most serious incident occurred on 6/28/2024, while traveling at approximately 70 mph. The vehicle suddenly slammed on the brakes without warning or any visible threat in the road. We did not crash, but the vehicle behind us narrowly avoided rear-ending us. This also happens about 50% of the time we reverse the vehicle. Given the potential severity of this defect — especially involving passenger injuries and potential crashes — I am deeply concerned. Many other Honda owners have reported similar phantom braking behavior across multiple models, and I believe this defect needs to be investigated urgently by NHTSA. Honda has not issued a recall or provided public guidance on how to disable or address the system, leaving drivers at risk.
