During a storm when backing up out of parking spot the prologue did an emergency breaking procedure , engaging the parking break. (There was no one behind me or anything in the way) and left me stuck in the middle of the street until I could figure out what happened. I had to manually release the parking brake and as I did that, I then almost ran into someone that was trying to go around me while I was a full stop. Since this happened randomly, I was not fully sure what was going on . This creates a huge safety hazard when there is no reason for it. There are many reports of this in forums that say just turn it to warning only mode, which then removes a safety feature that 1, was paid for and 2 could actually prevent a accident

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

Driving very slowly with plenty of distance from me and the car in front of me, car's auto emergency braked HARD. Thought this was a one off but this happened it my other Prologue this week (we own 2) so I decided to report. Scary event that makes you think you hit something and could potentially cause whiplash

Crawling in traffic at low speed 5-10 miles per hour when the auto emergency brake initiated a complete hard stop for no reason. I was not in danger of hitting the car in front of me. Car braked so hard that I thought I had hit something.

Automatic braking is very sensitive, especially in the rain, and even more so when backing up in the rain. The unexpected braking happened to me at a rotary for no apparent reason, and numerous times in reverse. Service Vehicle Soon Light/(Propulsion System Failure) came on randomly at around 4000 miles. Within a day or so it turned off. Nothing with the car seemed to be effected. Then around 4500 symbol turned on again and has been on for a day or so. No notable issues.

Around 500 miles into my lease the CV Balljoint is making a creaking noise. Now the noise extends to both front cv joints and the clicking or knocking sound is all the time, every turn now. Spoke to dealer and they said this is a known issue and they are working on it but nothing so far. In addition, the emergency braking system is too sensitive. On a small bump the car emergency braking kicked in and slammed on the brakes for no apparent reason. This happened over 14 times in the first 3 months. Eventually, I had to turn off my collision braking. Several times I thought the car tires exploded. Dangerous as I do not have control of brakes, steering, etc... everytime this happens.

While sitting idle at a traffic light, my forward collision notification beeped in spite of my Honda Prologue and the vehicle in front of me being completely still. Otherwise, no movement was taking place in front of my car. I captured this on camera during an incident when this occurred briefly. I would be happy for Honda to inspect this. I haven’t reported this to anyone else at this point. No other warning lights or messages indicated this could be a problem. This failure of my forward collision warning system has occurred about 50 times since purchasing this Prologue in late December of last year (over about 7,500 miles). At times, the beeping won’t stop unless I put the car in park. I learned the locations of the sensors behind the rear-view mirror and on the bumper. I cleaned the outer surfaces off to no effect.

While sitting waiting on a tow truck, I received another warning message that stated “Service High Voltage System.”
