The front axles in my 2024 Honda prologue touring model four-wheel drive I have been clicking and making noises even before 1,000 miles. I have spoken to the dealer several times and Honda as well two times. I do not know if this is dangerous but it seems dangerous to me. I am used to driving older vehicles that I maintain to almost new standards. I am honestly more nervous about driving this car at highway speeds than my 2006 BMW 330 I with 155,000 mi. I have been told that there is no fix for the situation at this point. I purchased a Honda the second brand new one in one year believing this was a great company that would stand by their product. My other vehicle is a 2024 Honda CRV touring model hybrid. I completely love this vehicle. I am now believing that they are not such a great company and they have made a mistake with this vehicle. I realize that this is not made by Honda but it is sold by Honda and they should not be so negligent in dealing with these issues. It is all over the internet that this car has problems and it seems that no one is dealing with it. Can you please help! Thank you for your help in this matter.

A loud clicking and popping sound while turning the car at low speeds, attributed most likely to the CV joint. The sound is happening more and more frequently.

CV joints/axles make a loud clicking sound when I turn the vehicle hard left or hard right. This issue appeared in late December 2025 when the vehicle had less than 5,000 miles. This issue has been inspected and confirmed by the dealer. There are no warning messages when this occurs. I brought the vehicle back to the dealer after waiting a few weeks for the new parts to arrive, but I was turned away because they said they had received parts that still had the defect. I called today for an update, and they said there is no ETA for the updated CV joints.

At slower speeds and tight turning, there is a clacking sound that occurs. I went to the dealer, and they say it is a known issue, but that Honda doesn't have a fix for it yet and didn't say whether they would fix it or not. I read this has something to do with CV joints and axle, and that is concerning that it could become a safety concern. I have read many people are complaining about it. I am hoping by submitting my complaint, you will force a recall to have Honda correct the design issue and take the corrective action.

Loud clicking noise/knocking when I turn left or right. I first notified Honda service on 9/24/25. I was told I would need a new axle but the part was backordered nationwide. The noise seems to be getting worse with small vibrations when turning. I called the same dealership service today 3/5/26 and was told Honda corporate release guidance two weeks ago that this is not a safety issue and that they would not cover a new axle unless it was part of a recall.

When driving my Honda 2024 Prologue there is a loud, persistent, clunking or popping sound whenever I turn. The dealership says it's related to the axle and/or the ball joint and there is no fix, neither is there a recall, so there is nothing they can, or will, do. This cannot be safe. When I'm driving at freeway speeds and go to turn into another lane to hear this clunking sound is very unnerving. Looking on line I know I am not the only one with this issue - there are many, many other car owners citing the same concern. Please issue a recall or safety warning so that Honda will address this issue.

2024 Prologue has a knocking sounds when turning left and right. It has only gotten worse. Honda has provided no solution and there are no parts available at Service Centers as confirmed by a Service Adviser in Escondido, CA. Honda is aware I feel unsafe driving this vehicle and made no attempt to remedy the situation.

The left front CV joint or drive axel is starting to fail. There is a clicking/popping noise when accelerating from a sharp turn. The noise is getting worse as I drive the car and will probably lead to premature failure of the CV joint/drive axel which is a huge safety risk since it may cause loss of acceleration and/or loss of steering. The problem was confirmed by Sons Honda of McDonough, GA. Honda has issued a "Tech Line Summary Article" on December 19, 2025, for the problem. Here are the details: The problem affects all trims of the 2024 - 2026 Honda Prologue. SYMPTOM: Customers may complain of a clicking or ratcheting type noise when turning. DIAGNOSIS: If you verify the noise and isolate it to the drive axles, inspect for any damage and repair as necessary. If you do not find any damage, do not attempt any repairs. TEMPORARY SOLUTION: Advise the customer that the clicking noise will not impact normal driving and the symptom is currently being investigated.

The car is clicking and clunking whenever a turn is made. Honda said they can’t fix the issue because they don’t see any visible damage to the CV joint or lower control arm at this time.

The car makes a ticking noise when turning the wheel. It originally only happened when making left turns but recently it has started making the noise when making right turns as well.

Axels make a clicking noise when making a sharp turn from a stop. Axel failure can lead to catastrophic accident. Dealer inspected and confirmed noise. Dealer advised that Honda is refusing to replace the axel under warranty with the current available part. the noise is evidence of parts of the axel assembly making contact when they are not supposed to which will inevitably lead to failure which makes this a serious safety issue. Honda is supposedly aware of the issue and is working on a fix. This has been a known failure issue since the car was released. Honda has had more than enough time to fix it. It's failure to so so on such a critical part is inexcusable.

Clicking noises when turning. Dealership no longer fixing (fixed passenger side, driver side still unrepaired). Front end collision breaking happening at random, causing unsafe breaking in the middle of the road. Also frequently happening when releasing break at stop light, narrowly avoiding multiple rear end collisions due to breaks being slammed on by vehicle collision system. Now with high voltage battery failure message, blowing cold air out of hvac system and performing at reduced acceleration.

I am submitting this complaint regarding a recurring safety defect in my 2024 Honda Prologue (VIN: [XXX] ), serviced at AutoNation Honda Chandler in Chandler, Arizona. Most recent service reference: Invoice #XXX. The vehicle has experienced a repeated knocking noise coming from the right front wheel area, particularly when turning right or left at low speeds with the steering wheel fully turned. The dealership diagnosed the issue as a failure of the front wheel drive half shaft (outboard passenger axle) and replaced the component. This same part has now failed three times. Despite multiple repairs and part replacements, the problem continues to return. The front axle/half shaft is a critical drivetrain component, and failure of this part can affect steering control and vehicle stability, especially during turning. Between all service visits, my vehicle has been at the dealership for nearly one month in total. Most recently, my third appointment was canceled, and I was informed that there is currently no solution available for this issue. I am extremely concerned about the safety of operating this vehicle due to the repeated failure of the same drivetrain component and the lack of a permanent repair. This ongoing situation has caused significant stress and raises serious safety concerns. I am requesting that this matter be investigated, as it appears to be a recurring defect affecting a critical vehicle component.

Backup Camera Failure (Occurred at approx. 1,000 miles) Part was on backorder, the rearview camera remained inoperative for approximately 99 days (February 22 through May 31, 2025). This rendered the vehicle non-compliant with federal rearview camera safety requirements. Emergency Braking System Issues (Ongoing) Compounding this, the vehicle’s emergency braking system would activate erratically and without cause, including: •When entering or exiting my driveway •During normal lane changes •When driving near trucks or concrete barriers Because these events occurred repeatedly and unexpectedly, I was forced to disable this safety system to avoid sudden braking events, further compromising vehicle safety. Broken CV Axles (Officially diagnosed at approx. 6,000-7,000 miles) •On May 31, 2025, the vehicle was returned to the dealership for backup camera installation and to revisit the knocking noise, this time properly documented. •That same day, both the left and right CV axles were diagnosed as broken, and I was told the vehicle was not safe to drive. •I had unknowingly been driving in this unsafe condition for almost three months. •The vehicle remained in the dealership’s possession until June 5, 2025 (6 days), Recurrence of Knocking Noise and Third Service Visit (January 10, 2026 – Approx. 15,000 miles) At approximately 15,000 to 16,000 miles, the knocking noise had returned (in both directions of steering) and I brought the vehicle in to be diagnosed •The dealership acknowledged hearing the noise. •I was told the sound is a “well-documented issue” with this model and considered “normal.” •I was informed that the vehicle was safe to drive. •I was told Honda is working on a redesigned part and that a recall is expected in approximately six months to one year. •I was specifically told Honda will not authorize replacement of the same axle parts again, as they continue to fail, and that I must wait for a recall remedy.

When turning a knocking sound occurs. It sounds like it is coming from the back of the vehicle. It happens when you turn right or left. Concerned that this could lead to a part breaking and causing an accident.
