I recently purchased a 2025 Honda Prologue. I've had multiple issues with the advanced driver assistance systems. The rear automatic braking will slam the brakes on when I'm backing up if it detects something like a pedestrian on the sidewalk (that I am in no danger of hitting). I've also had issues with it misinterpreting where the lane lines are on the freeway, and automatically trying to incorrectly steer the car OUT of the lane, which is very dangerous, especially at freeway speeds. These systems can be disabled, but this must be done EVERY time you start the car. There is no way to completely turn them off and have them stay off. While I understand these systems were designed to improve safety, they are deeply flawed and actually make driving less safe. At the very least, there needs to be a way to permanently disable them. NHTSA needs to mandate that car companies, including Honda, offer drivers a choice to permanently disable these systems until the technology is much better than it currently is. Thank you.

Electrical System
I received another service high voltage system message literally weeks after I brought my vehicle in and had the issue fixed. I reported this issue last on 11/24/2025 it is now 12/19/2025 and it happened again. The heat in my vehicle seemed to stop working and was blowing cold air. This is just poor design and disgraceful.

Power Train
When turning at a slow speed there is a clicking sound caused by a faulty CV joint. It appears re-engineered parts are not available. To repair the issue, the same parts are used, which are likely to keep failing.

The reverse lights are inadequate. If its very low light conditions you can barely see anything.

Fuel/propulsion System
Only had the car 6,000 miles in 3 months. Received a service high voltage system warning causing the car to not be no longer produce heat, including for the battery. This rendered it unable to charge. A dead battery is a dead car. It’s currently been in the shop waiting on back ordered part for 25 days.

Multiple times, my REAR collision automatic braking has activated when in reverse while barely moving and the vehicle was not at risk of collision. After 2 incidents, I turned the system off. Incident 1) I was reversing into a parking spot with plenty of space and the vehicle automatically applied the brakes, aggressively. It made me think I hit something but there was nothing around the vehicle. Incident 2) I was on the street at a 4 way stop. Car turning in towards me was going to need more space, so I reversed and while inching backwards with a pedestrian on the SIDE of the vehicle walking forwards from my rear, the vehicle aggressively applied the brakes, causing my passengers to think I hit something- but again nothing around the vehicle that was at risk of being hit. It was after this second incident that I turned the system off.

Steering
Every time I have to turn the car on a 90 degree angle from a full stop at an intersection, the car makes a loud clicking sound as the car comes in and out of making the turn. A quick internet search about this shows it’s a widespread issue, and Honda is replacing axles to fix the issue. This should be a recall.

I have noticed a loud knocking sound coming from both the front right and left areas of the car when turning. I have read it may be a faulty CV joint but I am not sure. This issue arose before the car reached 6k miles. I believe these joints play a significant role in vehicle stability and safety. I have not been able to take it to the dealer yet but I will as soon as I can get a day off of work. There were no warnings on the dash, just a loud knocking when turning which appears to be a common defect that users are experiencing.
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.
