On March 18, 2026, while driving a leased Honda Prologue in rush-hour traffic on a major highway in [XXX] , the vehicle suddenly shut down and would not restart for approximately two minutes. The incident occurred without any warning messages, alerts, or notifications and created an extremely dangerous situation. At the time of the incident, traffic had been stop-and-go for approximately three miles. Without warning, the radio turned off, all dashboard lights went dark, and the vehicle lost power and stopped moving. I attempted to restart the car multiple times, but it would not turn on. On approximately the seventh or eighth attempt, the vehicle finally restarted, allowing me to safely pull off the highway. Fortunately, the slow-moving traffic prevented a rear-end collision with vehicles behind me. I began leasing the vehicle this past summer, and at the time of the incident it had fewer than 2,600 miles on the odometer. I took the vehicle to the dealership that same evening. During their inspection, the dealership identified several “Lost Communication” diagnostic trouble codes in the vehicle logs. The most significant code identified was B1B42 – Start/Stop Switch Not Plausible. The service team also noted that the manufacturer’s troubleshooting checklist references codes B1B15 or B1B15 2A; however, those codes were not present. Based on the findings, the dealership replaced the S38 Start/Stop Switch. I resumed driving the vehicle two days ago and have not yet experienced any further issues. However, I remain extremely concerned about the seriousness of this failure. If this same issue were to occur again at higher speeds or in faster-moving traffic, it could result in a severe accident. The complete loss of power without warning represents a significant safety risk and warrants further review. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I leased a Honda Prologue on June 25, 2025. Approximately two months ago, I began noticing a noise coming from the front axles when turning left or right. I scheduled an appointment with my nearest Honda dealership and reported the issue. A few hours later, I was informed that the matter is currently under investigation and that Honda does not have a solution at this time. I also contacted Honda of America directly and was advised that there is still no resolution for this issue. My primary concern is safety. I am unsure whether this unresolved issue could develop into a more serious problem in the future, especially since this vehicle is regularly used by my wife to transport our son to school. This uncertainty is extremely concerning. I find it unacceptable and disrespectful for Honda to sell or lease a vehicle with a known defect and no available solution. I expect a reliable and safe vehicle, particularly from a brand with Honda’s reputation.

Vehicle, in one-pedal-drive, began to enter an intersection from a stop sign into a left turn--mild reasonable torque applied onto a 25mph street. Vehicle entered intersection and began stuttering/slow/shaking until near/complete stop and loss of acceleration in middle of busy intersection. Traction control light illuminated briefly prior to resumption of acceleration. Road conditions were dry, slightly foggy. There was no reason for safety systems/ABS/Traction control etc. to over react. Honda dealership reported no relevant code to explain incident--which indicates vehicle also did not flag it as an aberration. Vehicle had just been at dealership day prior and received software update and reported inspection. Honda dealership will not take further action unless reproducible with error codes to tell them how to address. Specific component, electrical, or software failure reportedly unknown and remains unaddressed by Honda at this time.

Unknown electrical issue in the cold. Saw posts online about people getting "High voltage system" errors and after a few days in the cold it happened to me. Dealership couldn't find the issue and simply cleared the error codes telling me to come back in if it happens again. Huge issue, as it limits the range to protect the system from further issues but doesn't give me enough range to even drive home from work if the errors appears during my commute. Occasionally my front sensors don't work but give no indication of any issues, other times it notifies me that they need cleaned, but not always. Not reliable enough to trust in anything but perfect circumstances. I am also getting the CV joint clicking issue occasionally when turning, unsure if related to cold weather or not but it has only happened in 10-20 degree weather. Sounds very bad when it occurs, not very reassuring when driving a car with less than 6000 miles on it.

I am unable to unlock the car with the app when needed which could lead to a safety issue.
