What 795 owners told NHTSA about the 2024 Honda Prologue Bev

The CV Joints on both sides of the front axel (left and right) were failing and replaced in December. They are already failing again and have to be replaced again. But Honda is just replacing them with the same parts, seemingly unconcerned that it poses a significant safety risk. Here is the summary as I understand it: A failing CV joint on a Honda Prologue often starts with clicking/popping noises when turning, vibrations, and potential power loss, but can escalate to the joint disintegrating, causing the axle to break, leading to the wheel locking up and potential loss of control, making the vehicle undrivable and unsafe. Many owners report issues with premature CV axle failure, characterized by these symptoms, sometimes leading to a complete axle replacement under warranty. The clunking noise is what has been the biggest teller for us, confirmed upon inspection. This started around 8k miles and was repaired around 8,900 miles. We're at 9,100 miles and it is failing again (january). It is covered under warranty - for now. But since they're just replacing them with the original parts that are failing (presumably because of the weight of the vehicle) this will keep happening. I shudder to think not only of the safety issues but the potential cost once the warranty ends - which isn't much longer.

The vehicle's steering and suspension are making a clicking noise at the CV joint. There are no clear dashboard signs or error indicating that there is an issue with the vehicle. Multiple service department members at Honda dealerships have noted a large number of problems related to this topic. The car will be taken to the dealership on January 31, 2026, for inspection. The service department mentioned that the vehicle will be inspected and a service notice will be created, but there is no solution for this safety issue.

Unknown When turning vehicle makes noise (Looks like CV joint noise)

NHTSA ODI 11706923

Vehicle only has 13K miles and is one year old, and is making a clicking noise when turning. Especially noticeable when it's cold or I just started driving the vehicle. Called Honda Dealership and the service advisor acknowledged that they're aware of this problem but do not have the parts available to fix it. I believe this vehicle has a problem with defective CV joints/ankle. I was told they would put me on a list and contact me when backordered parts are available, but I'm not sure if I can believe I'll be contacted.

There is a knocking/clicking sound when I accelerate and turn. It sounds like a CV joint. I had it evaluated by the dealer today and they reported they heard it once, but could not reproduce the problem, so they tightened some bolts, but that was all. As soon as I left the dealer it made the noise coming out of the dealer's driveway and multiple times on the way home. I have scheduled another appointment for tomorrow, but I don't see how they could not reproduce the problem. It's very obvious.

My 2024 honda prologue was brought in to service a battery failure light and get a clicking noise in the front axel looked at when turning. The light was a red on the dash shaped like a car with an exclamation point. Dealer claimed that the multiple codes were nothing and that the car needs a new audio system. Not sure how audio systems = battery failure but i digress. I was told my car is safe to drive so I picked it up, they have still not made any repairs as the audio system is on back order. The morning after i picked it up, the heater started blowing ice cold air, in 10 degree weather. Immediately returned to the dealer where they are saying they don’t know what’s wrong with it and they think it is still safe to drive

Been hearing a clicking noise from my front end of the prologue for quite some time. Keep having it written off that it’s nothing. However I see people having complaints and getting the vehicle serviced. Also my charger door compartment has been replaced 2x and is almost headed in for a third replacement. Buy back investigation has been launched by Honda. No news since July

My Honda Prologue is experiencing CV joint issues, primarily manifesting as a loud clicking or knocking noise when turning, even at low mileage. I have only just reported this to my Honda dealer, but the vehicle is still within the warranty period. From what I have read, the part was not designed correctly and it will fail on every single vehicle. The problem is widespread enough that there should be a recall issued and Honda should be forced to fix the part on every single vehicle it sold.

Clicking noise when Hard turn right and left. Dealer says expected behaviour.

NHTSA ODI 11703765

At approximately 3000 miles, I started hearing clicking noises from front end when accelerating while turning. Noise is more pronounced when turning left and when car is cold, but is rapidly getting worse and is now apparent on both sides and occurs whether cold or not. Dealer says it is CV joints, and a bulletin is out on this repair. Parts are back ordered and not readily available. Google search reveals this is a widespread issue, which explains parts shortage. Dealer says no update to parts has yet occurred, so it seems likely I will need to replace CV joints every time my tires are rotated! After 3 years or 36K miles, it will be a $3000 tire rotation I will be paying for! Please hold GM/Honda responsible for engineering a fix to this problem. I have read of people on their sixth set of axels!

The vehicle has also slammed the brakes on when driving down the road and there has been no obstructions or obstacles.
