I was not assisted with setting up OnStar on the day of purchase, which was at the end of September 2024. The next day, when I was unable to set it up myself, I contacted the dealer and was sent numerous links to set it up. However, it has never worked and has been to the Service department twice. The first visit was on October 19, 2024, and I waited for one month for parts that never arrived. They informed me that the parts were on backorder, and since the vehicle was drivable, I chose to pick it up. However, the radio went completely out on December 19, 2024, and I was instructed to bring the vehicle back to the dealer because the parts had finally arrived. I was provided with a loaner, and the vehicle has been at the dealer ever since. I reached out to them on week three to inquire about the estimated time of completion for the new radio system installation and was informed that additional parts needed to be ordered, which would take seven more days. I followed up 10 days later and was told that the part had still not arrived

Forward Collision Avoidance
When backing up with the auto braking on, the car will sometimes brake extremely hard when there is nothing behind me. Sometimes it almost won't let me backup at all as it keeps thinking there is something back there.

Once, I was coming to a stop and at least two car lengths away when the system alerted me. Another time, I was driving down the road, and no one was in front of me when the system came on.

The warning system is over-sensitive. Front Collision Warning - The forward collision warning randomly comes on while driving. Once, I was coming to a stop and at least two car lengths away when the system alerted me. Another time, I was driving down the road, and no one was in front of me when the system came on. This is a safety issue to both the driver, passengers, and others on the road because if the car thinks it's too close when it's not, it could violently and abruptly stop, thus causing other vehicles around the driver to crash, too! Rear Cross Traffic Warning - When backing up, the system violently stops the car and throws it into park mode, and there is nothing behind the vehicle. It will do it three times if you try to put it in reverse after being violently stopped. This happens all the time. One time I was in a parking lot with no one around and this happened 3 times before I could safely back up and then drive. The current mitigation is to turn the Rear Cross Traffic Warning off. This is a safety issue because being stopped so violently and abruptly could cause neck and back injuries. This is also a safety issue for others because I have to turn the system off, and there could be an unfortunate accident the system is meant to prevent.

When pulling out of the driveway or parking spot and turning sharply to the left or right a clicking sound presumably from the CV joint can be heard. It has not been confirmed by the dealer, the vehicle is in the service department at leadcar honda due to “service high voltage system” and “unable to charge” messages. This message puts the vehicle in limp mode causing an unsafe situation and inability to charge had the potential to leave me stranded in frigid winter temperatures. The vehicle has not been inspected be the dealer because they only have one person certified to work on Prologue. The warning messages popped up on the screen and the warning lamps lit up on the dashboard
