The rearview camera on my 2025 Honda Prologue Elite is absolutely unusable at night. The display is so dark that I can barely see anything behind the vehicle in dark conditions, even with the driveway/garage lights on. This creates a significant safety hazard when backing up, parking, or checking surroundings at night. Safety Concern: Rearview cameras are essential for visibility and preventing collisions, especially in low-light situations. Since the camera does not provide adequate visibility at night, it fails to meet its intended safety function and puts pedestrians, other vehicles, and property at risk. When It Occurs: The issue occurs consistently at night in low-light environments. During the day or well-lit areas the camera functions normally. Request: Please investigate this issue, as the poor visibility of the rearview camera at night appears to be a design or equipment defect that affects all vehicles of this model based on complaints from various owners in various forums/reddit etc

I have reported car jerks while driving as though pushing to go. Car service said never heard of something with Prologues and brushed it off. I want it documented. The safety features such as listed above do not always effectively work either.

There’s a loud clicking noise that I was told had something to do with the axle. Honda said they can’t do anything because it doesn’t affect the car driving. They’ve noticed the sound before too when I dropped it off for service. This can be a safety hazard especially after time if not replaced. Especially since I’ve only had my…

There’s a loud clicking noise that I was told had something to do with the axle. Honda said they can’t do anything because it doesn’t affect the car driving. They’ve noticed the sound before too when I dropped it off for service. This can be a safety hazard especially after time if not replaced. Especially since I’ve only had my car for 1 year.

I had the same issue that prompted a recall of the 2024 prologue, screens went completely black while I was driving on the interstate around 8 pm. The black screen spontaneously resolved after about one minute. That was really scary not having important operating info such as my speed and my GPS directions!

Backup camera is completely black when it is dark outside, making it worthless. It is fine during daylight hours. The local Honda dealer acknowledged that there is a problem, but stated that Honda has no solution for it at this time.

While driving normally, my 2025 Honda Prologue experienced an immediate, catastrophic mechanical and electronic failure in both the steering and braking systems. The steering wheel completely locked up/failed to respond, and the brakes became completely non-functional simultaneously, causing an absolute loss of control of the vehicle. Due to this sudden system failure, the vehicle veered off course and crashed, resulting in severe structural damage, complete destruction of the front passenger-side suspension, and rendering the vehicle a total loss. American Honda Motor Co. Corporate was immediately notified of this severe safety defect (Case No. 16372717. However, Honda Corporate has explicitly refused to send an engineer or inspector to evaluate the vehicle's electronic or mechanical logs, and they also refused to provide their denial statement in writing. The vehicle remains un-repaired as evidence of this dangerous factory defect.

Exiting the interstate waiting to turn right and behind one car that was able 10 feet in front of me, the car suddenly slammed on the brakes hard enough to make me think I was hit by another car. There was nothing close by.

The CV Axle joint has prematurely worn down and makes a popping sound when executing a sharp turn at low speeds. Honda is aware of the issue and has noted that it is widespread; however, they have offered no solution for fixing it.
American Honda Motor Company (Honda) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Honda Prologue and 2024 Acura ZDX vehicles. The rearview camera screen may display a distorted or blank image.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A rearview image that does not display correctly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the rearview camera, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed July 7, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in late 2026. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are DO5 and RO6. The information in your report suggests that Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) may have been aware of this issue more than five business days before filing a report with NHTSA. Please be reminded that under Federal law, this agency is to be notified of all safety defect and/or noncompliance decisions within five business days. 49 CFR 573.6 Significant civil penalties can be assessed for this violation.
