Every time I have to turn the car on a 90 degree angle from a full stop at an intersection, the car makes a loud clicking sound as the car comes in and out of making the turn. A quick internet search about this shows it’s a widespread issue, and Honda is replacing axles to fix the issue. This should be a recall.

Bad front driver's side axle. Loud clicking noise heard when turning left, on every turn

Dec 04, 2025

When turning right or left the vehicle is making a clicking sound. When I first got the vehicle within a month of ownership it made this sound prior to me making my first payment. I took it to the dealership for assessment and they said that there was an issue with the axle. They replaced both front axles but less than 3 months later the sound is back and I have taken my vehicle back to Honda. They told me that they have to contact corporate to see how Honda will want to handle the issue. I have literally only made 4 payments since having the vehicle. There seems to be a major issue that has been called out on Reddit forums however no one seems to be reporting the issue properly.

CV axle clicking noise when turning left

Dec 13, 2025

Floorboard carpet on driver side is defective and not properly secured. Carpet is cut too short. Carpet has no securement mechanism across width of carpet. Carpet has loosened and began sagging directly behind gas and brake pedals. Insulation is clearly visible where carpet is defective. Issue was reported to dealership of purchase and Honda Motor Company (HMC) representative inspected carpet fabrication and installation. HMC representative indicated "vehicle should have never left assembly plant". HMC representative ordered replacement carpet for driver's side. Carpet was replaced by dealership of purchase. Replacement carpet has identical issue and is currently sagging behind gas/brake pedals. This is a CRITICAL safety issue and MUST be addressed. Issue has been reported to Honda Motor Company.

Dec 11, 2025

When I am doing any kind of sharp turn like a u turn or exiting my drive way, there is a loud clicking noise coming from what seems like the axel.

Dec 04, 2025

This vehicle's backup camera does not work adequately in the dark. It poses a major safety risk especially in rainy conditions where the driver is unable to utilize the backup camera at all. All rear lights are functioning properly, and the vehicle is in brand new condition with under 3k miles, pointing to a defective configuration for the camera or rear lighting.

Dec 03, 2025

The rear view camera display is too dark at night and does not provide adequate ability to see objects while reversing. This increases the chance of accidents or damage to the vehicle. The white reverse lights are not sufficient to provide lighting and the display does not have enough brightness and contrast. I have turned up the brightness to the maximum setting.

POWER TRAIN

4 complaints

When turning at a slow speed there is a clicking sound caused by a faulty CV joint. It appears re-engineered parts are not available. To repair the issue, the same parts are used, which are likely to keep failing.

Dec 18, 2025

Consistent clicking noise when turning steering wheel left or right from stopped to slow speeds. Noise observed around 1,200 miles. Both front CV joints/axels were replaced by dealership of purchase at approximately 3,200 miles. Identical clicking sounds have begun again. Vehicle has approximately 5,200. Issue has been reported to dealership of purchase again.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

4 complaints

While driving I received a warning that said “ service high voltage system” that came up on my dashboard. I have had my vehicle just for a couple of months and this is the second issue that I am having with the vehicle since purchasing it. I have taken it back to Honda who is now telling me that they have to do some tests to try and figure out the issue which seems to be a know issue which some forums show that may effect the heating system or cause you to need a complete battery replacement. I have my vehicle in service now waiting to see what the issue is but but for a brand new vehicle there has to be an even bigger problem if the issue is happening not only on my vehicle but on its sister vehicles as well the made by Chevy.

Nov 24, 2025

The contact owns a 2025 Honda Prologue. The contact stated that while he or his wife was driving at undisclosed speeds, the instrument panel displayed a blank screen.

The CCS charging door does not stay closed/locked after closing it from charging session. I opened the charger door to charge the vehicle at a charging station. Once the charge was completed, I closed the charging door. Went home and noticed the door was open.

Jul 28, 2025

The front center counsel which contains the USB and 12 volt charging ports comes off the car’s body and exposes the wires. This can lead to people getting electrocuted and hazardous for kids.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

3 complaints

The reverse lights are inadequate. If its very low light conditions you can barely see anything.

Dec 17, 2025

The reverse (or backup) lighting on my 2025 Honda Prologue Elite is so useless it may as well not even exist. During the daytime, the reverse camera view is helpful and detailed. At night, or without bright ambient light, you can't even see beyond the rear bumper. Stepping on the brakes gives brief added light, though still not adequate. And you can't continue to press on the brake while backing up. This lack of lighting creates a significant safety hazard when backing up, parking, or checking surroundings at night.

Dec 12, 2025

Reverse camera and the associated lights are VERY dim. It is very difficult to see out the rear camera.

BACK OVER PREVENTION

3 complaints

Multiple times, my REAR collision automatic braking has activated when in reverse while barely moving and the vehicle was not at risk of collision. After 2 incidents, I turned the system off. Incident 1) I was reversing into a parking spot with plenty of space and the vehicle automatically applied the brakes, aggressively. It made me think I hit something but there was nothing around the vehicle. Incident 2) I was on the street at a 4 way stop. Car turning in towards me was going to need more space, so I reversed and while inching backwards with a pedestrian on the SIDE of the vehicle walking forwards from my rear, the vehicle aggressively applied the brakes, causing my passengers to think I hit something- but again nothing around the vehicle that was at risk of being hit. It was after this second incident that I turned the system off.

The backup lights are too dim to safely see where you are going when in reverse at night.

Nov 25, 2025

The backup camera at night is practically black. I find many people complaining about this online, but no fix. It is dangerous to back that car up at night!!! There must be a fix before someone gets hurt. Either upgrade the camera or upgrade the backup lighting

Only had the car 6,000 miles in 3 months. Received a service high voltage system warning causing the car to not be no longer produce heat, including for the battery. This rendered it unable to charge. A dead battery is a dead car. It’s currently been in the shop waiting on back ordered part for 25 days.

The backup camera on this vehicle is basically useless at night if there are no streetlights around. I don’t know if this is a combination of a poor camera and dim reverse lights or just a bad camera, but I think it’s a safety hazard. This is new vehicle using current technology, the camera should be able to see at night, or the reverse lights need to be brighter. What is the point of a reverse camera if I can’t see anything out of it.

STEERING,SUSPENSION

1 complaint

I have noticed a loud knocking sound coming from both the front right and left areas of the car when turning. I have read it may be a faulty CV joint but I am not sure. This issue arose before the car reached 6k miles. I believe these joints play a significant role in vehicle stability and safety. I have not been able to take it to the dealer yet but I will as soon as I can get a day off of work. There were no warnings on the dash, just a loud knocking when turning which appears to be a common defect that users are experiencing.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE

1 complaint

My vehicle recently began displaying the error messages “Service High-Voltage System” and “Reduced Acceleration – Drive With Care.” Since these warnings appeared, my vehicle’s heating system no longer works at all. This defect creates multiple serious safety hazards: 1.No heat in cold weather: Temperatures in my area are currently around 42°F, and the cabin cannot warm up. This creates an unsafe temperature environment for myself and especially for my children while driving. 2.No ability to defrost windows: Without heat, the vehicle cannot defog or defrost the windshield or windows. This severely impacts visibility and creates a dangerous driving condition. 3.Reduced acceleration: The vehicle warns of reduced performance, which may affect my ability to safely merge, change lanes, or respond to traffic conditions. These issues began without warning, and the loss of heating combined with high-voltage system errors makes me concerned about a potential electrical or battery system failure. This is a significant safety concern that needs to be investigated, as the vehicle is not safe to operate in its current state. I request that NHTSA look into this issue, as other owners have reported experiencing this same dangerous combination of high-voltage errors and loss of essential climate-control functions with no resolution from the manufacturer.

STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

1 complaint

My 2025 Honda Prologue Touring, purchased in August and currently with only 7,000 miles, is experiencing multiple serious safety issues. The vehicle has already had both the left and right axles replaced. by warranty Now, the left axle is failing again. A defective axle can break at high speeds, which puts my entire family at risk, including my baby. This issue compromises vehicle stability and could easily lead to a serious accident. Additionally, the vehicle’s collision mitigation system activates unexpectedly, causing the car to brake on its own without any obstacle present. This sudden braking is extremely dangerous, especially on the highway, as it could result in a rear-end collision. The blind-spot indicators also activate at random. When I attempt to turn right or left, the blind-spot warning turns on even when I double-check and confirm that there are no vehicles anywhere near me. This creates confusion and hesitation while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Given the repeated axle failures, unintended braking, and malfunctioning blind-spot monitoring system, I believe the vehicle presents significant safety defects that require investigation.

POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,STRUCTURE

1 complaint

My 2025 Honda Prologue Elite is experiencing multiple safety-related issues. The front CV axles make a consistent clicking noise when turning, indicating a possible drivetrain or axle defect. The power tailgate also intermittently and unexpectedly closes on its own while loading or unloading, creating a risk of head injury. In addition, the infotainment screen and digital gauge cluster will randomly shut off while driving—sometimes for up to 30 seconds—leaving me without speed, range, or other essential telemetry while the vehicle is in motion. All of which the dealer will not address or states they can't replicate.

STEERING,SUSPENSION,POWER TRAIN

1 complaint

The vehicle makes a noticeable clicking sound when making routine left and right turns. This noise is not coming from the cabin of the vehicle, but sounds like it's coming from the wheels/axles. I have observed some level of clicking sound during turns since I purchased the vehicle in May 2025, but with each passing month, the volume and frequency of the clicking has increased. I now feel unsafe making any turns at 90 degrees or greater as the steering feels insecure and sounds indicate possible hazard/parts failure during vehicle operation. Almost all turns feel as though they are pushing the vehicle to the limit and I fear the parts/joints will fail while the vehicle is in operation. U-Turns are nearly out of the question. If a vehicle cannot safely and effectively make a greater degree of turn, then the turning radius should not allow a driver to put the vehicle into that position. However, for this vehicle, it seems almost any turning at all would then be completely impossible. As the car is still new and well within warranty, I will be taking it to my dealership for inspection and repair. The vehicle has never been in any type of collision or accident of any kind.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

1 complaint

Back up camera at night is extremely dark and visibility is near zero if there are no additional external light sources. This poses a safety risk as we are unable to see what's behind the vehicle. The vehicle has integrated LED lights and we are unable to upgrade the bulbs to be brighter. Either the night time mode for the camera isn't activating or the lights are too dim.
