2024 HONDA PROLOGUE Complaints

The car just stopped as I was driving, would not shift gears, and told me “service high voltage system” and “ service battery fault shutting down soon” and turned off. It was on 185 miles left (63%) and went to 0% later on and now won’t charge or turn on. I have screen shots and time stamps of those things

There is a clicking sound when turning right or left which seems the axle is broken. It is still under warranty but the dealer is refusing to fix it saying this breaks on all Prologue cars and they do not have a fix for that

While driving, the center console and its corresponding section of the instrument cluster will freeze and then completely turn off and become black screens. Then a message stating “the system is restarting” comes on the screen and after a minute or two it will turn back on. This happens at random times in random intervals; I have not been able to detect a pattern in the time between incidents or the amount of driving. My car has already been repaired for the initial federal safety recall of both screens turning off while driving, removing all instrument panel function which I experienced several times before being able to get an appointment for repair. This secondary issue presented after the software repairing the safety recall was put into my car. This began March 2026 and the most recent incident date is listed below (September 2026).

The contact leased a 2024 Honda Prologue. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked outside in the driveway, unoccupied, suddenly there was a loud explosion, and the vehicle caught on fire. The contact stated that the fire spread to the garage and a vehicle parked nearby. The local fire department arrived on scene to extinguish the fire. The source of the fire remained under investigation. A Police report was filed. The local dealer was contacted. The vehicle and the other vehicle parked nearby were deemed total losses. The vehicles were towed to a local tow yard as per the insurance provider. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure by telephone. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000

I am experiencing a severe defect involving a recurring clicking and popping noise from the front end of the vehicle when turning at low speeds. This issue is tied to a known premature failure of the front drive axles and constant velocity (CV) joints, which is currently the subject of federal class-action litigation ([XXX], et al. v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc.). The progressive failure of these critical drivetrain components presents an immediate safety risk. Degraded axles and CV joints can lead to sudden loss of propulsion, unexpected steering stiffness, or a complete loss of vehicle control while turning, creating an extreme hazard on public roads. Despite Honda acknowledging this issue internally via a Tech Line Summary Article, the manufacturer has failed to issue a safety recall to replace these defective components with a permanent, structurally sound fix. I am submitting this complaint to urge the NHTSA to open a formal safety investigation into the 2024–2026 Honda Prologue drivetrain assemblies to compel a nationwide safety recall before an axle failure results in an accident.

The warning messages pop-up such as "One pedal Driving Unavailable. Use Brake for Stopping", "Auto-hold unavailable", and "adaptive cruise control temporarily unavailable " then parking sign with ranch sign turns on. And all the functions will be disable. I went to Honda dealer to fix the problem, all they said was Parking Brake Actuators. So they replace both left and right rear Brake Actuators. A week later same messages come on and recently I have new additional warning message on Dashboard. "Service Transmission Now Unable to shift soon", I went to honda dealer, of course there is no warning message show up then, so they cannot scan or nothing showed up on the scan. So they suggest that I kept driving until warning light stay on.

On XXX Me and my son were in [XXX] in one of the basement garages. Parked successfully the first time inching the vehicle forward without issues and stopping as needed. 2nd run, got into parking spot got close and stopped 1 foot away from wall. Attempted to inch forward, lightly and quickly tapping on accelerator to disengage auto hold/brake and move forward but car did not respond. Repeated the action, quickly and lightly tapped again no response, then all of a sudden car lurched forward, I jammed on the brakes with no response and car hit the wall. I have my 2024 Prologue at the Gillman Honda Body Shop and gave instructions to service advisor to pull data from my vehicle.

clicking noise from CV axle. I took this to dealership (Mungenast St Louis Honda) multiple times in 2025-2026. Dealership advised that the problem was the CV axle(s), and Honda would not authorize repairs due to pending litigation and reports of current fixes not working

Charging problem, high voltage. Vehicle won’t charge when plugged in. Took it to the dealer and they said they can’t do anything about it.

The affected components are the BOTH FRONT DRIVE AXLE/CV JOINT ASSEMBLIES on my 2024 Honda Prologue. This is not merely a suspected problem. After I reported the clicking/popping condition to Honda multiple times, the vehicle was finally inspected by a technician, who determined that BOTH FRONT AXLES WERE BROKEN AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. The original clicking/popping was not present when I obtained the vehicle. It developed afterward and progressively worsened, particularly during turns. After Honda replaced both front axle assemblies, the noise returned within a short period of time. The replacement components now exhibit the same condition and the noises are worse than they were with the original axles. Honda has still not provided an effective repair. This creates a serious safety concern because the drive axles/CV joints are critical drivetrain components responsible for transferring power to the wheels while allowing the wheels to turn and move with the suspension. I am concerned about continued deterioration or another axle/CV-joint failure occurring while driving, potentially resulting in loss of propulsion or vehicle control and endangering me, my passengers, and other motorists. The condition has therefore been confirmed by a Honda technician, resulting in replacement of both front axles. Despite that repair, the same problem has returned and worsened. The vehicle and replacement axle/CV-joint components remain available for inspection by NHTSA or Honda. There were no warning lamps or dashboard messages before the original axle failure was discovered. The warning symptom was the persistent mechanical clicking/popping from the front end, especially during turns. That same warning symptom has now returned after both axles were replaced. The replacement parts have not corrected the defect, and Honda has not provided a lasting remedy.
