Vehicle: 2025 Honda Prologue Location: Sacramento, California Date of Incident: [redacted] What failed or malfunctioned The vehicle experienced a sudden loss of directional stability involving the steering system, brake-by-wire system, and electronic stability control (ESC). Steering and braking inputs did not produce proportional vehicle response. What happened While driving under normal conditions, the vehicle began drifting to the left. I attempted to steer back to the right and applied braking; however, the vehicle did not respond as expected. Electronic stability control did not appear to engage or correct the loss of control. The vehicle then deviated from its intended path, overturned, and struck a fence. The vehicle was declared a total loss. No other vehicles were involved, and no injuries occurred. Safety risk This failure created an immediate and serious safety risk. …
I bought the vehicle with about 12k a few months go. While making a shap left turn I noticed some clicking. This happen seminary regularly. After doing some research I found out this was a common issue. Since, it didn't happen that often I ignored it. On Tuesday 6/30/2026 I took the vehicle in for a tire rotation and system update. The vehicle now has approximately twelve thousand miles. After the serviceI picked up my vehicle and went home. The next day after driving about a 75 miles, I noticed an audible clicking sound when I made a right turn. This sound happened about three more times that day. I took the vehicle back to a Honda dealer today and I was just notified that they are going to be replacing the front two control arms. The vehicle is still under warranty. …
The vehicle makes a noticeable clicking sound when making routine left and right turns. This noise is not coming from the cabin of the vehicle, but sounds like it's coming from the wheels/axles. I have observed some level of clicking sound during turns since I purchased the vehicle in May 2025, but with each passing month, the volume and frequency of the clicking has increased. I now feel unsafe making any turns at 90 degrees or greater as the steering feels insecure and sounds indicate possible hazard/parts failure during vehicle operation. Almost all turns feel as though they are pushing the vehicle to the limit and I fear the parts/joints will fail while the vehicle is in operation. U-Turns are nearly out of the question. If a vehicle cannot safely and effectively make a greater degree of turn, then the turning radius should not allow a driver to put the vehicle into that position. …
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. …
My 2025 Honda Prologue is experiencing a consistent knocking/cracking noise when turning the steering wheel at low speeds, particularly during tight turns such as parking or exiting driveways. The noise appears to originate from the front axle or wheel area and is most noticeable when accelerating slightly while turning. The sound can be described as a series of clicks, pops, or clunks, and occurs intermittently on both left and right turns. This issue has been widely reported in 2024-2025 Prologue models and is commonly associated with potential CV joint or drive axle defects, where owners describe similar noises occurring early in the vehicle's life and sometimes worsening over time.
When turning right or left the vehicle is making a clicking sound. When I first got the vehicle within a month of ownership it made this sound prior to me making my first payment. I took it to the dealership for assessment and they said that there was an issue with the axle. They replaced both front axles but less than 3 months later the sound is back and I have taken my vehicle back to Honda. They told me that they have to contact corporate to see how Honda will want to handle the issue. I have literally only made 4 payments since having the vehicle. There seems to be a major issue that has been called out on Reddit forums however no one seems to be reporting the issue properly.
