Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2025 Honda Prologue owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
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 contact owns a 2025 Honda Prologue. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, there was a clicking sound coming from the front wheels while turning in either direction. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who diagnosed that the CV axle was faulty and needed to be replaced. The CV axle was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired; however, approximately 2,500 miles later, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, who diagnosed that the replacement CV axle had also failed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact stated that the Forward Collision Avoidance system had malfunctioned and erroneously indicated to stop the vehicle, although no other vehicles or objects were nearby. The vehicle also abruptly stopped in the middle of the road on several occasions with no other vehicles or objects nearby. …
The contact owns a 2025 Honda Prologue. The contact stated that while reversing at night or in the dark, the rear-view camera image was extremely dark, making the image very difficult to see.

The dealer informed the contact that the backup camera operated as designed. The manufacturer was not contacted or notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 10.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 600.
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. …
My 2025 Honda Prologue Touring, purchased in August and currently with only 7,000 miles, is experiencing multiple serious safety issues. The vehicle has already had both the left and right axles replaced. by warranty Now, the left axle is failing again. A defective axle can break at high speeds, which puts my entire family at risk, including my baby. This issue compromises vehicle stability and could easily lead to a serious accident. Additionally, the vehicle's collision mitigation system activates unexpectedly, causing the car to brake on its own without any obstacle present. This sudden braking is extremely dangerous, especially on the highway, as it could result in a rear-end collision. The blind-spot indicators also activate at random. …
On 2 occasions (before a dealer initiated system update), without anyone in jeopardy of being hit in front of me, my vehicle suddenly and shockingly halted - I had no idea what was happening and thought someone hit me from behind. First instance I was at a 4 way stop sign at a complete stop with much traffic in all directions. I had ample distance in front of me. Second instance, I was driving through a green light at an intersection - again not close to hitting anyone and in control of my brakes and speed, and my car stopped - almost causing the person behind me to hit me!!! It was a busy intersection!!! My dealer said they did a system update for my vehicle this past weekend, but the same thing happened again today in a busy intersection. Additionally; the organice brake warning randomly appears on my main control panel for no reason - when I have ample clear runway ahead of me!!! …
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. …
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. …
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. …
