2024 Honda Prologue

The left front CV joint or drive axel is starting to fail. There is a clicking/popping noise when accelerating from a sharp turn. The noise is getting worse as I drive the car and will probably lead to premature failure of the CV joint/drive axel which is a huge safety risk since it may cause loss of acceleration and/or loss of steering. The problem was confirmed by Sons Honda of McDonough, GA. Honda has issued a "Tech Line Summary Article" on December 19, 2025, for the problem. Here are the details: The problem affects all trims of the 2024 - 2026 Honda Prologue. SYMPTOM: Customers may complain of a clicking or ratcheting type noise when turning. DIAGNOSIS: If you verify the noise and isolate it to the drive axles, inspect for any damage and repair as necessary. If you do not find any damage, do not attempt any repairs. TEMPORARY SOLUTION: Advise the customer that the clicking noise will not impact normal driving and the symptom is currently being investigated.

2024 Honda Prologue Elite AWD experiences severe drivetrain shudder, banging, and lurching when turning at or near full steering lock at low speeds (e.g., parking lots, U-turns, three-point turns). Severity increases significantly in cold ambient temperatures (below approximately 32°F). The front axle feels as though it is binding and releasing repeatedly, causing the entire vehicle to lurch violently. The condition is present from cold start and does not fully resolve even after the drivetrain warms up after several minutes of driving. The vehicle has been to an authorized Honda dealer three times in approximately one month for this same condition, all under warranty, between approximately 7,660–7,675 miles: Visit 1: Dealer verified failed outer CV joint on left front half shaft. Left front half shaft assembly replaced. Visit 2: Right front half shaft outer CV joint diagnosed as failing. Right front half shaft assembly replaced. Visit 3: Binding and lurching returned in both directions. Both left and right front half shaft assemblies replaced again. Vehicle held approximately two weeks waiting for parts. In total, four front half shaft assemblies have been replaced across three warranty repairs using the same GM part number. The condition returned immediately upon picking up the vehicle after the third repair. While severity is somewhat reduced, the shudder, binding, and lurching during turning persists. This is not a minor clicking noise as some owners have reported — the vehicle lurches and bangs enough to affect steering control. During a test drive, the foreman acknowledged this was clearly a safety issue. The violent lurching during low-speed turns reduces driver control and steering predictability in parking lots, intersections, and residential areas where pedestrians are present. The abrupt jolting could cause a driver to instinctively brake or overcorrect. No warning lamps or DTCs were present during any failure. Symptoms are purely mechanical.

Axels make a clicking noise when making a sharp turn from a stop. Axel failure can lead to catastrophic accident. Dealer inspected and confirmed noise. Dealer advised that Honda is refusing to replace the axel under warranty with the current available part. the noise is evidence of parts of the axel assembly making contact when they are not supposed to which will inevitably lead to failure which makes this a serious safety issue. Honda is supposedly aware of the issue and is working on a fix. This has been a known failure issue since the car was released. Honda has had more than enough time to fix it. It's failure to so so on such a critical part is inexcusable.

Loud clicking, metal on metal grinding noises at the front (both) wheel axle when making a right or left turn. Noise started around 7500 miles on and off. Now at around 9k miles the metal on metal grinding noise is getting louder and more frequent. Every time when the car is stopped and then accelerate to a turn (right and left) or during a U turn is when the noise is the loudest. Every time the steering wheel makes a full turn the noise is louder. I was told by a local dealership that Honda does not have an explanation. Honda has stopped replacing/fixing the issue unless the parts are showing damaged. It sounds like they are not proactively doing anything about it until someone gets hurt or something goes wrong and that is concerning.
