Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I have had multiple occurrences where as I'm accelerating into a turn at normal /slow speeds the traction control activates and my vehicle almost comes to a stop almost causing an accident with the vehicles behind me. This was on dry pavement and not heavy acceleration so the traction system should not have activated.”

NHTSA complaint #11722435, filed 2026-03

“I noticed the CV axle grease coming out of the boot onto the wheel a few days from taking delivery from dealership at around 400 miles. In a few weeks the CV joint started making noise. I have an appointment at the dealership currently. I am ASE certified and know what a CV axle failure looks and sounds like.”

NHTSA complaint #11720405, filed 2026-02

“Within 1K miles, both CV joints began to click when doing low speed turns -- or accelerating while turning. This is a VERY widely documented issue with the Honda Prologue. Just took the car in to my local (Honda Marin) dealership (car now has 5K miles). They verified the issue but stated Honda of America had no fix at this time -- and that it wasn't a safety concern. I'm not sure how this can be true -- when a CV joint fails, you no longer have power to the wheels.”

“I own a 2025 Honda Prologue Touring. I have a Clicking and popping noise coming from the CV axel on both sides when turning. It seems to be getting worst as I keep driving. The clicking from the CV joint has become unbearable.”

NHTSA complaint #11730688, filed 2026-04

“My 2026 Honda Prologue makes clicking sounds when executing turns. The problem was confirmed in a diagnostic assessment at the Honda dealer at about 7,500 miles (2/4/26). The service rep. said Honda was looking into the problem (CV joints/bearings), but there was no current solution, and they would contact me when a solution became available. The rep. said Honda did not consider this a safety issue. I also own a Honda Civic that has made almost identical clicking noises when its CV joints were failing. …”
