What to check before you buy a 2024 Honda Prologue

A useful visit to this page takes five minutes. YearTell does not score years and cannot see the vehicle in front of you.

  1. Look up the VIN for open recalls at nhtsa.gov. This year has 3 campaigns on file below.
  2. Steering. Check for play in the wheel, noises on lock and whether it tracks straight.
  3. Suspension. Listen for clunks over bumps and look at tire wear for alignment issues.
  4. Transmission / driveline. Have a shop drive it and check the transmission: hard or delayed shifts, burnt-smelling fluid, and 4WD engagement if equipped.
  5. Skim a few owner reports below for Steering. Look for the same symptom repeating.
  6. Take that list to a mechanic. Do not turn the complaint total into a score.

While driving, the center console and its corresponding section of the instrument cluster will freeze and then completely turn off and become black screens. Then a message stating “the system is restarting” comes on the screen and after a minute or two it will turn back on. This happens at random times in random intervals; I have not been able to detect a pattern in the time between incidents or the amount of driving. My car has already been repaired for the initial federal safety recall of both screens turning off while driving, removing all instrument panel function which I experienced several times before being able to get an appointment for repair. This secondary issue presented after the software repairing the safety recall was put into my car. This began March 2026 and the most recent incident date is listed below (September 2026).

NHTSA ODI 11761488
CrashFireInjuryDeath
I am experiencing a severe defect involving a recurring clicking and popping noise from the front end of the vehicle when turning at low speeds. This issue is tied to a known premature failure of the front drive axles and constant velocity (CV) joints, which is currently the subject of federal class-action litigation ([XXX], et al. v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc.). The progressive failure of these critical drivetrain components presents an immediate safety risk. Degraded axles and CV joints can lead to sudden loss of propulsion, unexpected steering stiffness, or a complete loss of vehicle control while turning, creating an extreme hazard on public roads. Despite Honda acknowledging this issue internally via a Tech Line Summary Article, the manufacturer has failed to issue a safety recall to replace these defective components with a permanent, structurally sound fix. I am submitting this complaint to urge the NHTSA to open a formal safety investigation into the 2024–2026 Honda Prologue drivetrain assemblies to compel a nationwide safety recall before an axle failure results in an accident.

The warning messages pop-up such as "One pedal Driving Unavailable. Use Brake for Stopping", "Auto-hold unavailable", and "adaptive cruise control temporarily unavailable " then parking sign with ranch sign turns on. And all the functions will be disable. I went to Honda dealer to fix the problem, all they said was Parking Brake Actuators. So they replace both left and right rear Brake Actuators. A week later same messages come on and recently I have new additional warning message on Dashboard. "Service Transmission Now Unable to shift soon", I went to honda dealer, of course there is no warning message show up then, so they cannot scan or nothing showed up on the scan. So they suggest that I kept driving until warning light stay on.

On XXX Me and my son were in [XXX] in one of the basement garages. Parked successfully the first time inching the vehicle forward without issues and stopping as needed. 2nd run, got into parking spot got close and stopped 1 foot away from wall. Attempted to inch forward, lightly and quickly tapping on accelerator to disengage auto hold/brake and move forward but car did not respond. Repeated the action, quickly and lightly tapped again no response, then all of a sudden car lurched forward, I jammed on the brakes with no response and car hit the wall. I have my 2024 Prologue at the Gillman Honda Body Shop and gave instructions to service advisor to pull data from my vehicle.

clicking noise from CV axle. I took this to dealership (Mungenast St Louis Honda) multiple times in 2025-2026. Dealership advised that the problem was the CV axle(s), and Honda would not authorize repairs due to pending litigation and reports of current fixes not working
