2025 Honda Prologue

My 2026 Honda Prologue makes clicking sounds when executing turns. The problem was confirmed in a diagnostic assessment at the Honda dealer at about 7,500 miles (2/4/26). The service rep. said Honda was looking into the problem (CV joints/bearings), but there was no current solution, and they would contact me when a solution became available. The rep. said Honda did not consider this a safety issue. I also own a Honda Civic that has made almost identical clicking noises when its CV joints were failing. In those cases, the Honda dealers always stressed the problem needed addressing in a timely manner as failing CV joints could pose a significant safety hazard. Why has Honda adopted a contradictory stance regarding this CV joint issue with the Prologue? I would urge the NHTSA to investigate the problem (widely reported on Prologue user forums) to determine if it constitutes a safety issue. If confirmed, I would encourage a formal safety recall be implemented to protect the public. This would also help ensure Honda rolls out a solution while the vehicles are still under warranty. (Vehicle is available for inspection by NHTSA and/or manufacturer.)

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.

Two months and 3k miles into lease ownership of my 2025 Honda Prologue, the front suspension began making a loud creaking noise. The noise is most pronounced under acceleration and while turning, but also occurs over bumps and uneven road surfaces. It has progressively worsened over time. I brought the vehicle to my Honda dealership for diagnosis. The service department acknowledged the noise but returned the vehicle unfixed, stating Honda is "aware of the issue" and that it is "under investigation." They also stated it is "not safety related." No repair was performed. This appears to be a widespread defect affecting the 2024 Honda Prologue. Online forums, owner groups, and existing NHTSA complaints describe the same symptoms — creaking and clicking from the front suspension and CV axles, often appearing within the first few hundred to few thousand miles. Multiple owners report that even after axle replacements, the noise returns or is not resolved. Replacement parts have also been reported as backordered for extended periods. I am concerned this is a safety issue. A failing CV axle or compromised front suspension component could result in loss of vehicle control, particularly at highway speeds. The manufacturer's position that this is not safety related is inconsistent with the nature of the components involved. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this defect and that Honda issue a formal recall or technical service bulletin with an effective, permanent repair.
