Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Steering

266 reports2 crashes
“Turning the wheels both forward and backward while moving causes a pinging sound in the CV joint. I have started hearing this noise after 20,000 miles and the noise is getting louder. I am concerned either the axle will give out or the CV joint will break causing an accident.”
Owner complaint to NHTSAFiled Sep 28, 2026SteeringODI 11767431

Suspension

218 reports
“Bad CV axles, clicking noise progressively getting worse starting at 5k miles exacerbated by 20k miles. Causes bad alignment, uneven tire wear and a shaky ride.”

Electrical system

171 reports3 crashes1 fire
“I purchased my 2024 Honda Prologue on [XXX]. On [XXX], I opened a case with American Honda because the vehicle has an open rearview camera safety recall, NHTSA Recall 26V-306 / Honda Recall D05. Since then, I have repeatedly contacted American Honda and several authorized Honda dealerships trying to get the recall repaired. I have spent weeks calling representatives, speaking with case managers, contacting dealerships myself, and trying to understand who is responsible for providing the replacement camera. I have received conflicting information and very little clear assistance. On [XXX], Future Honda in Citrus Heights inspected the vehicle. Their repair order states: “SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN: REAR VIEW CAMERA - REPLACE.” The rearview camera was not functioning at the time, and the dealership told me the replacement camera had to be requested or ordered through Honda. Future Honda later told me the request had been submitted and they were waiting for the part. On [XXX], an American Honda representative left me a voicemail stating she had contacted the dealer, confirmed the part was ordered, and that I needed to continue waiting for it to arrive. As of October…”
