This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Multiple problems. Suspension/axles grinding and popping when go around corners, multiple messages to service high voltage system, complete loss of power while driving, loss of awd system, extremely loud thunking under hard acceleration (merging onto freeway etc), that shakes the whole car and can cause it to go off track a bit. deathtrap on wheels, dealer's no help, corporate is no help.
Every time this car comes to a stop, it rocks back and forth significantly on its suspension. Even at low speeds, it is noticeable when breaking, with about a second and a half of five to six rebounds back and forth. It is highly prominent with stronger braking or stop-and-go traffic, resulting in about two seconds of hard rocking back and forth. This problem happens more when the car is being driven in normal mode, meaning using both the acceleration and brake pedals; it-??s less pronounced when driving in -??one-pedal-?? mode. I took the car to the dealer service department, and they tested my car and other Prologues. The service department manager said this seems to be a problem in all the Prologues, even a 2025 model they tested. This problem is causing motion sickness for me and my wife, which can lead to distractions and potentially unsafe behaviors as explained below: * Distraction: Passengers experiencing motion sickness may be too focused on their discomfort to pay attention to the road or the driver, which can be dangerous. * Nausea and Vomiting: Nausea and vomiting can cause a passenger to become ill, which can be a distraction and potentially lead to unsafe behaviors like reaching for a trash bag or losing control of their body. * Safety of the Driver: If a passenger struggles with motion sickness, the driver may be distracted by the passenger's discomfort, which can lead to unsafe driving behaviors. * Increased Risk of Accidents:If a passenger becomes ill and the driver is distracted, the risk of accidents increases. Even though the dealership acknowledged that this seems to be a widespread problem based on the tests that their service department did, they are unwilling to take action until an official recall is in place. Please help.
Immediately after taking ownership of my 2024 Honda Prologue, I noticed the vehicle makes a knocking sound when accelerating through sharp turns. I notice it everyday when leaving my driveway. I've done research on this issue and found that many Prologue owners in private forums have experienced similar issues and it was diagnosed as faulty axles.
My 2024 Prologue with approximately 3,000 miles has a clunking sound in front of car and noticeable jerk on acceleration. It developed with 1300 miles and was "repaired" by dealer, who claimed it was a loose battery mount. Problem returned within 1000 miles and is getting worse. Dealer now says it is right front axle and part is on backorder. Fundamental safety part crucial to control for car. If the axle is a problem it is a fundamental and incredibly important part that has been in development since approximately 100,000 BC. There should not be an axle problem with a brand new car.
Vehicle Drive Shaft makes clicking noise at the CV Joint and motion irregularities/bumps on turns over flat surfaces, much worse over wider turns at any speed. Vehicle part is backordered due to nationwide shortage caused by vehicle defect on numerous 2024 Honda Prologues. There are no codes on dashboards to otherwise diagnose or indicate problems. Honda service has looked at vehicle and stated noise is caused by the CV joint for the drive shaft, although vehicle also demonstrates sharp bumps/jumps briefly when issue arises even on flat paved surfaces. Still says to drive due to backordered parts with no resolution. Vehicle had less than 1200 miles on it when problem arose, and clicking/booming, whiplash on turns, and rough+noticeable bumps have only increased since during drives.
I am writing to express my serious concern regarding an ongoing issue with my vehicle, which began pulling to the left at around 3,500 miles. I promptly brought my vehicle to Bay Ridge Honda's service department for inspection, where I was advised to return when the regional service technician was available for a more thorough diagnosis. I returned to the service department at 6,600 miles, and after lifting the vehicle and conducting an inspection, the technician performed a road test. He identified a problem with the front axle, stating that it would need to be replaced. However, the technician also indicated that replacing the axle would not resolve the issue, as the same problem would likely recur within 700 miles. He further explained that the only way to permanently address this issue would be for Honda to issue a recall for the faulty component. Given that this problem concerns a critical safety feature of the vehicle, I am extremely concerned about driving a vehicle that may be unsafe. This is particularly troubling, as I purchased the vehicle brand new and have taken no action to cause this issue. The prospect of continuing to drive a vehicle with a component integral to both the safety and daily operation of the car is unacceptable. I would greatly appreciate your urgent attention to this matter and would like to explore any potential solutions that may be available in the interim. My primary concern is ensuring the safety of both myself and others on the road.
Braking for no reason slam on the breaks so hard we all got so scare. Also the rear brakes engaging with no obstacles on the way.it felts like I hit something. took to the the dealer of purchase and very much make me field like I was insane. and what the technician did was turning off the automatic breaking system. that was the solution. now at when I turn right of left it makes a ticking noise on the suspension. started at 4k miles. plus a win noise is so heavy that I need to the radio volume. I got this car because of the automatic breaking technology offer, but I can't utilize it do to the failure of the system.
High Voltage error in car and unable to charge at 3100 miles. Now without a car and dealership/Honda will not give courtesy car. The front suspension makes clicking noise in cold weather when turning.
I bought Prologue ELITE AWD on January 31st 2025 and drove 1000 miles. The steering is very stiff and makes squeaking noise while parking and turning. This sound is audible while the car is going slow; however, when the car speed is above 20 mph we may not hear, but my guess is it still there. If this fails during sharp turns, there is chance of damaging my own car and even other cars putting others and myself into safety risk. There are no warning lamps and messages. The problem first appeared after 5-7 days after the purchase; however, I thought the car is new and being adjusted for the ride with the huge 21 inch tires it has. Additionally, the car has problem with suspension, after a ride and when placing it in park mode, the suspension of the car swings enabling the car to move forward and backward possibly hitting the car infront or back damaging the other cars too.
The contact owns a 2024 Honda Prologue. The contact stated that while making left turns, there was a knocking sound coming from the front driver-??s side wheel well. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 2,401.
The car has a very loud knocking noise when you turn left or right drop it off at the dealer today they didn-??t want to look at it they said it was normal that there was nothing we can do freeway honda of Santa Ana Ca. They were seems careless about the situation they keep trying to blame GM Multiple times I felt something was gonna snap when turning according to the Maintenance manager multiple cars have came in with that issue pretty much they try to send me home I told them I still want to car to be check out
When making a sharp turn out of a parking lot I noticed a ticking or popping sound coming from the wheels. This was replicated a couple of times but not consistently. If the part is defective it could cause loss of control of the vehicle while turning. This issues has not been reproduced by the dealer nor has it been inspected. No warning lamps or messages appeared prior to or after the incident occurred.
When making a hard turn from a complete stop most of the time there is a clicking or knocking noise through the tightest part of the turn. The noise is louder the colder it is outside.
