cuando obtuve el vehiculo a los 5 meses comenso con un golpeteo al girar el volante lo lleve al consecionario y me dijeron que tenia que cambiarle una pieza pero que no la tenian que tocaba esperar un tiempo. pregunte si no habia ningun problema y me dijeron que no que podia seguir conduciendo asi el vehiculo. yo lo lleve en el mes de enero y hasta el mes de abril me llamaron para decirme que la pieza habia llegado. esto me puso en riesgo porque ese golpe cada vez es mas fuerte. alguien externo me dijo que eso era muy peligroso andar asi porque me puedo quedar sin direccion en cualquier momento. el vehiculo nunca me dio una luz de advertencia.mi segungo problema es que cuando voy conduciendo el vehiculo frena bruscamente como si detectara algo en la carretera este es muy sensible y me parese peligroso porque si esto me lo hace en una via de alta velocidad puede causar un accidente, lo mismo pasa cuando doy reversa. este problema no lo he puesto en conocimiento de nadie

Anti-Braking System (ABS): The Anti-Braking System (ABS) malfunctioned, causing the car to unexpectedly slam on the brakes multiple times while backing up. This issue is likely related to a failure in the ABS sensors or control module. The component is available for inspection and was reported to the dealer. Transmission (Shifting into Neutral): The transmission failed by unexpectedly shifting into neutral while driving, preventing acceleration. This issue is likely related to a malfunction in the transmission control module (TCM) or related sensors. This component is available for inspection and was reported to the dealer. Anti-Braking System (ABS): This malfunction posed a significant safety risk. The car unexpectedly slamming on the brakes while backing out of the driveway onto the road causes a sudden stop, potentially leading to a collision with other vehicles as it takes several attempts of hitting the brakes or turning the emergency brake off to get the car to continue reversing out of the driveway. Transmission (Shifting into Neutral): This issue is extremely dangerous, especially on busy roads. When the vehicle unexpectedly shifted into neutral, I was unable to accelerate, which could have resulted in a dangerous situation if it had occurred on a highway or in heavy traffic, putting my family’s safety at risk. Both problems have been reported and inspected by the dealership but they were unable to reproduce the issues. I was told the auto braking system is performing as expected and is in the user manual and cannot be turned off which does not seem right. I have never driven a vehicle that cannot back out of a driveway without interruption. The Auto Braking System does display a message of "Rear Cross Traffic Auto Braking" when the brakes are initiated.

I have two problems: 1. When I steer full left or right and move forward, I have clicking noise coming from the front. 2. Usually when I push break, my car gets into emergency brake .I guess the sensors are too sensitive and it gets into emergency break and stop the car without no reason.

All ADAS systems have to be turned off. Even if switched to alert only the vehicle will randomly break very hard while driving. Also will randomly not allow you to back out of your garage. Or when raining will not allow you back up.

I've had to turn off all the safety features in my car on multiple occasions. I nearly got hit by several cars turning into driveways because the car's sensors detected a vehicle on the driveway. Additionally, the sensors mistakenly detected another car pulling out of a shopping center, which caused heavy brake locking. This has even happened to me twice on the freeway. When I mentioned this to the service manager, he laughed and said, "I know what you're talking about. I have one too, and it happens to me as well. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it except turn off the sensors." And be careful with your neck the ways brakes lock in

The rear breaking system locked up the brakes and turns the emergency break on, when backing up, even if nothing is behind me. Once it was rain drops dripping off of the rear window. Another time, nothing was there. I had to assume that it picked up a shadow in the driveway.

I have encountered recurring problems with the vehicle's automatic braking system, as well as issues with the Honda Prologue app, both of which I believe compromise the vehicle's safety and performance.
The vehicle's automatic braking system appears to be malfunctioning, as it has activated unexpectedly on multiple occasions, leading to near-miss accidents. At least three occasions, the vehicle’s brakes have engaged without cause, even in situations where there is no obstruction or “phantom” vehicle detected. This automatic braking has not only been inappropriate but also posed a significant safety risk to both myself and other road users. Additionally, the reverse braking system exhibits similar issues, activating without cause. Despite the alerts being on and the brakes not being engaged, the system’s warning signals still activate, leading to further confusion and potential danger. I have consulted with both the dealership and the Honda Prologue forum, and it has been confirmed that this is an ongoing issue. The dealership has indicated that they have no immediate workaround or solution. The only remedy has been to disable these safety features entirely, which negates the very purpose of having them. 
The Honda Prologue app, which is intended to provide critical vehicle information and allow remote monitoring and control, is also malfunctioning. I have been in communication with Honda for over two months regarding these issues, but unfortunately, no viable solution has been provided. The app is essential for monitoring vehicle functions such as theft prevention, charging status, and temperature control, all of which are key safety and convenience features. In particular, I am concerned about my ability to monitor the vehicle’s charging especially given the increasing number of incidents involving electric vehicles catching fire during or after charging. Proper monitoring of charging status is crucial to avoid potential overcharging and battery degradation.
