SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
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.

POWER TRAIN, STEERING, SUSPENSION
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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The digital instrument cluster and infotainment/display system repeatedly FAILS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I AM DRIVING. The screens suddenly glitch, shut down, or go completely black, causing me to lose access to critical vehicle information. The vehicle remains available for NHTSA or manufacturer inspection upon request. This is an ongoing and unresolved safety defect. I did NOT experience the blank-screen condition before Honda Recall 26-056. The recall specifically addressed a condition that could cause the instrument cluster/infotainment display to intermittently go blank while driving. The recall repair was performed April 13–14, 2026. Within approximately one week AFTER that repair, my screens began randomly shutting off while driving. When the failure occurs, the displays can remain blank for approximately 5–20 seconds. During that time, I unexpectedly lose visibility of critical information, including vehicle speed and warning indications. A driver should never suddenly lose access to essential operating and safety information while a vehicle is moving. The unpredictable failure also creates a serious distraction because I must continue driving without knowing when the displays will return. Honda dealers have made MULTIPLE unsuccessful repair attempts. On April 20–22, the dealer performed a factory-data reset. The failure continued. On May 4–7, the dealer contacted Honda Techline, identified an internal defect involving the A11/radio control module, replaced the module, and programmed/configured the system. The defect STILL was not corrected. I reported the continuing screen glitching/blanking on August 6, 2026. There is generally NO WARNING before the screens fail. They can suddenly go completely blank while the vehicle is being driven. Despite a recall repair, subsequent diagnosis, software/programming work, a factory reset, and replacement of an electronic control module, the same dangerous malfunction continues to occur.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I am reporting a serious safety concern involving my Honda Prologue and believe the repeated failures may indicate an unresolved defect involving the vehicle’s electronic, braking, ABS, propulsion, transmission/shift, or vehicle-control systems. On [XXX], the vehicle first displayed an error/warning. I contacted the Honda dealership in Vancouver, Washington, and was instructed to bring it in for inspection. I was out of town and could not do so immediately. On [XXX], I brought the vehicle to the dealership in the morning. They kept it overnight and returned it to me on [XXX] at approximately 2:00 PM, telling me the problem was a “system glitch” and had been fixed. On [XXX], less than 24 hours later, I was driving home after completing a Lyft ride when the vehicle displayed: “One-Pedal Driving Unavailable – Use Brake for Stopping.” At the same time, the ABS warning and multiple other safety-system warnings illuminated.The vehicle then became immobilized in the middle of an intersection. I was in an unsafe location and had to contact police for assistance. The vehicle remained unable to operate for approximately two hours. After multiple restart attempts, it suddenly became operational again, allowing me to drive it to the Honda dealership.I have photographs and videos documenting the warnings. One photograph shows the “One-Pedal Driving Unavailable – Use Brake for Stopping” warning with the ABS and multiple other warning indicators illuminated. Another shows “Service Transmission Now – Unable to Shift Soon.”This is especially concerning because Honda had already been notified, had possession of the vehicle for approximately a day and a half, and told me it had been repaired. The vehicle then experienced a serious failure the following morning and became disabled in traffic. This is not simply an inconvenience. A vehicle that can suddenly become immobilized n intersection presents a serious potential safety I use this vehicle for Lyft INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C

SUSPENSION, STEERING
When turning the vehicle, a clicking noise can be heard, intermittently. I have reported this to the dealership, they tell me they heard nothing. The car now has 20,000 miles and will need a tire rotation soon, I will then report it again. It appears the cv joint is the problem with many of these 2024 Honda Prologues. I’ve read, that a broken cv joint could cause loss of power, broken brake lines, and loss of control of the car. This clicking occurs mostly on hard turns, which I avoid due to potential damage and loss of control. There are no warning lights seen for this problem.

SUSPENSION, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My 2024 Honda Prologue (VIN [XXX]) produces a loud clicking/knocking noise from the front drive axles when turning, most noticeable during low-speed turns and when accelerating out of a turn. The noise began shortly after I acquired the vehicle at low mileage, consistent with the widely reported front CV joint/axle defect affecting 2024-2026 Prologues. This is a safety concern, not merely a noise. The defect involves internal drive-axle joint irregularities that can progressively worsen and impair propulsion, steering response, and drivability, with risk of eventual axle failure and loss of vehicle control while driving. Honda acknowledged this condition in a XXX dealer Tech Line but directed dealers not to repair it if no visible damage is found, leaving the defect unaddressed. Replacement axles reportedly fail again. No effective repair is currently available. I request that NHTSA investigate this drive-axle defect.

STEERING
The car makes clicking sound when I make a left or a right turn. The sound is getting louder and more obvious. I took it Honda dealership twice and was told it doesn’t interfere with the driving then they wouldn’t fix it. They will investigate it further. It has been a year and the dealer or the manufacturer hasn’t said anything else.

STEERING, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
The front-left CV joint/drive axle system malfunctioned. A loud repetitive clicking began during turns at approximately 1,050 miles. The vehicle and components are available for inspection.The condition creates safety concerns because the vehicle sometimes feels unstable while turning and the steering/drivability regularly feels abnormal. The tires have also developed uneven wear, raising concerns about reduced traction and handling.Separately, the vehicle has twice unexpectedly lurched forward from a complete stop. During both incidents, One-Pedal Driving and Auto Hold were active, the Auto Hold indicator was illuminated, and the brake pedal was not being pressed because Auto Hold was maintaining the stop. The vehicle suddenly moved forward without intentional accelerator input, as though the brakes released. I immediately applied the brake. During one incident, the vehicle struck another stopped vehicle, causing significant damage to that vehicle. No damage occurred to my Prologue. These incidents occurred both before and after the CV joint replacement.Hendrick Honda Bradenton confirmed the clicking condition after I brought the vehicle in for service in February 2025. A replacement CV joint arrived and was installed in approximately March 2025. The dealership informed me that replacing the CV joint did not correct the problem. The clicking continues. I was subsequently told I could drive the vehicle without limitations and that there was no safety risk.The vehicle has been inspected by Hendrick Honda Bradenton.Manufacturer, police, insurance inspection details to be added if applicable.There were no warning lamps or dashboard messages before the clicking condition or either unintended-forward-movement incident. The clicking first appeared at approximately 1,050 miles.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING
I own a 2024 Honda Prologue (VIN: [XXX]). Since approximately XXX, the vehicle has experienced recurring failures involving critical driver-assistance and safety systems. The problems include: • "Forward Collision System Unavailable" warnings • "Adaptive Cruise Control Temporarily Unavailable" warnings • Automatic braking while reversing when no obstacle is present • Repeated loss of confidence in the operation of safety-related driver assistance systems The vehicle has been presented to authorized Honda service facilities approximately four times for diagnosis and repair. The vehicle has spent approximately 20 to 22 days out of service. Despite multiple repair attempts, the problems continue. The vehicle has never been involved in a collision. A prior insurance claim involved hail damage only and was repaired. I do not believe the hail damage is related to the recurring failures of the driver-assistance systems. Because these systems are intended to help avoid collisions and improve vehicle safety, I am concerned that their repeated failure may create a safety risk. The unexpected braking while reversing is particularly concerning because it occurs even when no obstacle is present. I have opened Honda Case Number 162-31526 with American Honda Motor Company and have requested assistance, including consideration of a repurchase, replacement, or other resolution. I am submitting this complaint so that the issue can be documented and reviewed as a potential safety-related defect.

SERVICE BRAKES
Please see details of NHTSA Campaign #25V433000. This is a known issue associated with a platform technology shared by GM and Honda. I purchased the vehicle as CPO on 31 July and almost immediately the parking brake warning light and the 'Service Transmission Now, Unable to Shift Soon' error code appeared on the dash. I returned the car to the dealer on 1 Aug for repairs and was told this is a 'known issue' with Honda Prologues, but there is no recall in effect for Honda. How is this possible? I am concerned with the degree of risk I could have potentially encountered due to a sudden brake failure or being stranded.

POWER TRAIN
On 7/16/26, while driving, I heard loud clicking noises when turning and sometimes while driving straight. I took the vehicle to Coggin Deland Honda for inspection and they determined that both driveshafts are broken and need replacement. The service advisor shared that this is an ongoing problem with 2024 Honda Prologues that are not being covered by warranty. He also shared that there is a class action lawsuit regarding this issue, because they knew about this issue when building the vehicle. We have filed a claim through Honda corporate. The safety of myself and children is at risk because I am no longer able to drive the car because it poses inherent risk which can cause a vehicle crash or even death. The vehicle component has been inspected by a Honda certified mechanic. The repairs cost around 2500. This is unacceptable and should be covered by the warranty.
