Forward Collision Avoidance
The infotainment system screens go black sometimes for no reason. Been to the dealer to fix and they said they can’t duplicate the issue. Yet I have pictures and videos to prove it.

The infotainment system screens go black sometimes for no reason. Been to the dealer to fix and they said they can’t duplicate the issue. Yet I have pictures and videos to prove it. The drivers assist systems turn themselves off when there is nothing blocking the cameras. Causing the one pedal driving to start applying the brakes and almost causing me to be rear ended multiple times. The AWD system is horrible. The traction control will turn on with cruise set and completely dry roads. But when it’s actively raining it slips and slides and hydroplanes do without activating any system to counteract it. The charger door was broken when I bought the vehicle and had to have it replaced. The charger itself sometimes says it can’t charge for some reason and I have to unplug it and plug it back in. The heater doesn’t get warm unless cranked to the highest setting otherwise it blows colder air. The dealership I took it to literally said they don’t want me to bring it in there anymore and to go to another dealership because and I quote “those guys know nothing about EVs so fuck them go to another dealership” the next closest dealership is 2 hours away and I work full time including weekends. So tell me how I’m supposed to make that work? The charger is now having an issue where it doesn’t charge and I have to remove the charger and plug it back in.

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.

Within 1K miles, both CV joints began to "click" when doing low speed turns -- or accelerating while turning. This is a VERY widely documented issue with the Honda Prologue.

Within 1K miles, both CV joints began to "click" when doing low speed turns -- or accelerating while turning. This is a VERY widely documented issue with the Honda Prologue. Just took the car in to my local (Honda Marin) dealership (car now has 5K miles). They verified the issue but stated Honda of America had no fix at this time -- and that it wasn't a safety concern. I'm not sure how this can be true -- when a CV joint fails, you no longer have power to the wheels.

Around 3000 miles both front axles developed a clicking sound when turning. The sounds has gotten progressively worse over the next 2000 miles. Honda dealer service center confirmed bad axles but states Honda America no longer allows them to replace the axles since the replacements are failing quickly. Second dealer also declined to fix defective axles stating Honda America is "working on a new part". No one knows what the part is or when it will potentially be available. Honda dealer now appraises the Prologue at *less than half* of the MSRP. (Vehicle has 5000 miles.)

When accelerating and turning left or right at the same time there is a severe clicking sound coming from the CV Joints sounds like they are cracked. This started to happen at 3500 miles. Brought it into the Honda dealership Service Department and they said it was a known issue and there was not a fix. Contrary to the research that I have done about this issue and Honda has been replacing these with a so-called new part number that fixes the issue. I am concerned because when turning and accelerating the stability of the vehicle does not feel safe.

When initiated in the phones app, the Hondalink app does not communicate with my Honda Prologue. I keep getting "data unavaible" notices. I've only been able to get the app to update with the automobile on 3 occasions since I purchased the vehicle on 12/14/25. I see a manufacturer bulletin on this problem. (...are experiencing issues with OnStar and HondaLink due to the software within the telematics control unit needing a software update.). I am unable to unlock the car with the app when needed which could lead to a safety issue.

On December 1, 2025, the 2025 Honda Prologue was pulling into a parking spot between two parked vehicles at low speed. While in forward gear, the Prologue experienced an unexpected acceleration event and collided with three parked vehicles, two of whom were hit with sufficient force to impact adjacent parked vehicles. The driver is unaware of having pressed down on the accelerator and is additionally concerned about why none of the vehicle safety features such as the equipped Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) activated to prevent these collisions. The vehicle was brought to a local Honda dealership, yet they were unable to draw any conclusions regarding why the unexpected acceleration event occurred. The vehicle owner requested a DTC scan report and EDR (event data recording) data from the vehicle, and received the DTC report but not EDR data. The Honda dealership advised calling the American Honda customer service line with the case number to obtain EDR data. The customer service line was not able to assist because they were not able to identify the case manager, which points to a documentation error within Honda servicing processes.
