What 137 owners told NHTSA about the 2025 Honda Prologue EV

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. I was told that this is a common issue by the honda dealer.And it should only take a few hours to fix panning my parts are received tomorrow morning. Other than the audible clicking sound, there were no other warning lights or indications. Based on the number of complaints that I read about online in honda's representatives, knowing that there is an issue, I think this should be further investigated in case there are other safety concerns.

Clicking noise coming from the front axles when turning either right or left. ADAS settings seem to be too sensitive. Car slams on the emergency brake when backing out of a parking spot with no obstacles in view. Forward warning system alerts occur even though there is nothing in front of the car.

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.

Vehicle was taken to dealer for click noise Hurd while turning right around only 4k miles. The dealer confirmed the noise using a mechanics ear they said as of right now no replacement has been authorized. Honda is investigating. January 2026 car started clicking while in curves and any movement in steering. Still no fix. March 2026 still not fix because Honda hasn’t investigated yet and now my system has horrible issues with the auto break and rear collision avoidance system. Hondas “fix” turn it off. Why wouldn’t get a touring model with all those features just to have them tuned off.

Would appreciate any help on speeding up this process.

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.
