There is a loud clicking sound coming from the front axle(s) while steering around corners. It began within 30 days of taking possession of the new vehicle in mid-April 2025 and has continued to this day, April 6, 2026 with 11k mileage on the car. Furthermore it has become progressively worse, whereby early on the steering had to be near the fully clocked left or right position, now it only has to be about 30% in either direction for the clicking to be audibly and vibrationally noticeable. Two Honda dealerships near Orlando FL have been informed of the issue as well as a case opened (and closed by Honda without my consent) Honda Auto Customer Service. No action has been taken to correct it. I am consistently advised it is a "known issue" and that the vehicle is "safe to drive". Long story short, Honda is well aware of the issue, but has completely failed to apprise its customer base of any pending solution. They are content to advise us to continue to operate the Prologue and suffer the issue. I've given Honda a year to correct it. I am now concerned to operate the vehicle for fear one or more of the front half shafts is going to come apart at speed.

I am the owner of a 2024 Honda Prologue Touring Sport Utility FWD 2WD. I am reporting a defect involving a clicking/ratcheting noise originating from the front CV joint/drive axle when turning the steering wheel, most notably during left turns and when the steering wheel auto-centers after a turn. The noise is consistent and reproducible. This is not an isolated issue — Honda itself acknowledged the problem in a December 19, 2025 Tech Line Summary Article applicable to all 2024–2026 Prologue vehicles, confirming a "clicking or ratcheting type noise when turning" caused by the front drive axles. Hundreds of other Prologue owners have filed identical complaints with the NHTSA. I have not yet had the vehicle repaired as replacement parts have been reported to be on extended backorder at dealerships nationwide, and multiple owners have reported the clicking returning after axle replacement, suggesting the replacement parts share the same defect. I am concerned this defect poses a safety risk, as the clicking has grown more pronounced over time and the integrity of the CV joint/axle directly affects vehicle control during turning. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue and compel Honda to issue a formal recall and supply properly redesigned replacement parts.
When Turning to right and left there is rattling sounds mostly on slow turn. I brought to Honda dealership drive test it with their Tech. They said might be drive shaft or CV joints. But they did not fixed because they did see loose or bad since the car is new parts may not be available. yet they told I can still drive it . They…

When Turning to right and left there is rattling sounds mostly on slow turn. I brought to Honda dealership drive test it with their Tech. They said might be drive shaft or CV joints. But they did not fixed because they did see loose or bad since the car is new parts may not be available. yet they told I can still drive it . They said will report it and let the Honda motor company what to do on this issue they will me when they get response from the manufacturer. Today the rattling noise gradually increase. My concern is might worse or all a sudden will brake. Thank you for your time in reading my report. Best, 2024 Honda prologue Owner.
Clicking noise while operating vehicle AND turning steering wheel to the left. Concerns of axle failing/braking while turning or sudden stop if ever encounter a situation when I need to slam on the brakes.
Loud clicking from both sides of the front CV joint. Dealer says there is nothing they can do but know of the problem. Says not to drive it as much.
Noise coming from the CV axles when the steering wheel is turned either left or right.
The front axel makes a terrible clicking or clunking sound when turning. This seems to be a common problem with these cars and my concern it the axel will break or wear down to the point of failure.
The front wheel axle makes a clicking noise when turning either left or right. Vehicle has about 10 K miles on it.
Both CV axles are making cliking noises and popping sounds honda refuses to make repairs
