The steering started clicking or clunking noise when hard turning left and right at about 9,000 miles. Took to the dealership and they acknowledged being able to easily replicate the problem, inspected for damage, did not see any. They returned the vehicle with no fix as advised by Honda at this moment for this problem. It appears to be a larger problem under investigation and I was told that it has been noted and we will need to wait for a resolution to the issue.

During a normal commute on the highway, the vehicle suddenly lost all engine power and stalled in the middle of high speed traffic. The vehicle could not exceed 8 mph while attempting to pull to the side of the road for safety. There were no warning lights (other than a low tire pressures - normal for cold days) and no error messages. The car was unable to get started for about 10 minutes. Eventually, the engine started and the vehicle was able to make it back to our residence. The battery was near 55% at the time of the incident (out of a maximum of 80% recommended charge) In terms of safety, this was a near fatal incident, as suddenly losing power and stalling in the middle of the highway during high speed traffic and snowy conditions could have been devastating.

Every time I turn fully left or right there is a clicking, binding type noise. Gos away as steering is straightened. Have not gone to dealer yet because I have heard on Prologue forum web site that it is not being fixed yet, some have been in 3 to 6 times to replace cv axles, but that Honda engineering is working on a fix, ie a newly designed cv axles. Would appreciate any help on speeding up this process.

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 am shook and so not feel safe in this vehicle. My elderly mother in law as a passenger on one of the instances nearly had a heart attack!!

Vehicle: 2025 Honda Prologue Location: Sacramento, California Date of Incident: [XXX] 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. The loss of steering and braking effectiveness could have resulted in severe injury or fatality. The rollover demonstrates a critical safety concern. Warning signs No warning lights, messages, or symptoms were present prior to the failure. The event occurred suddenly without notice. Inspections The vehicle was inspected by police and insurance representatives. The manufacturer has not yet inspected the vehicle. The vehicle remains available for inspection through the insurance provider. Dealer confirmation The issue has not yet been reproduced due to the vehicle being totaled. Additional concerns The vehicle’s behavior was inconsistent with normal operation of safety-critical systems designed to maintain vehicle control. I am concerned about system performance, calibration, or possible electronic control failure. Manufacturer contact I reported this issue to Honda Customer Care by phone and requested escalation to engineering review.
