Left and right half-shafts (CVs) are defective - both click loudly when turning in each respective direction. Was advised by a GM dealer that this is normal and will go away once the weather warms up. Noises have been apparent since first month of ownership (Sept 24) to present, happens every time I drive the car.
Car makes clicking/creaking sound when performing a left or right turn from a full stop. Noticed this issue around 4500 miles. Other reports indicate CV joint issue and that the part is out of order.
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.
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.
Car has a clicking noise when turning sharp both right and left. Dealer has said it most likely is the cv joints. They are a known issue and on backorder.

I have the same CV joint issue as most prologues. Loud, rapid clicking when turning right or left and Honda has no fix or remedy. I-??m kind of just waiting for the front axle to fall apart while driving. The other issue is electrical, issues with hvac system and the memory seat has no fix either. Suspension is biggest issue that is unfixable and seems to be a high risk safety issue in my opinion.
The car has a clicking sound when turning left or right. The dealership says that it is caused by a failing CV Axel. This apparently has been happening to dozens and dozens other Honda Prologues. I have not contacted the manufacturer about this issue as the dealerships are aware. This failure could lead to safety issues as it is related directly to steering and power train. There are not any notifications, messages, or lamps pertaining to this issue. When I leased this vehicle, the clicking was not happening to the one I leased, but the vehicle I test drove was doing it much more frequently than mine currently is.

My car has 2824 miles and the front left CV JOINT has failed according to the dealership that completed the inspection. They state they were told by GM and Honda that the car was safe to drive. I have known someone that had a CV joint fail and lost the wheel. I do not feel that this is safe and no one should be recommended to continue to use the car with a faulty wheel component. This is a huge safety risk. I was told the part would be in 2 weeks on 12/3/24 it is now 1/3/25 and the parts team has let me know it could be the end of February now before it arrives and that is just a loose estimate as there are of cars with this same issue waiting
