2024 Honda Prologue power train problems

“CV axle makes a very loud clicking noise when turning either right or left. Dealer says there is no recall and they want 190 dollars to diagnose the problem. I mentioned it six months ago to them right after I bought the car and they acknowledged the problem and told me they were waiting to hear from HONDA. The noise has gotten much worse and now they are telling me they want 190 dollars to diagnose the problem.”

“Thumping noise from front axle had repaired and it just came back a month later. It happens when you are at a slow speed and turning the wheel all the way like when you are parking mostly.”

“There is a loud clicking noise present when turning the vehicle and accelerating or decelerating at the same time. This noise started around 4000 miles and has gotten progressively worse.”

“1st Continuous clicking sound from the front axel when trying to turn, its amplifies when taking a uturn. I have complained to Honda service center they said they are not aware of while there is already fix done at different honda service centers. 2nd the Lanes assist doesn't work as a safety feature, it has multiple issues a) it ping pongs between the lanes with sudden moves, b) most of the times at the higher speeds it only warns or tries to correct once at least one of the wheels is in another lane c) with adaptive cruise control on and lane assist not working on any curved road if you are close to the divider or near an exit, it doesn't understand that the car ahead has taken the curve and it should stick in the lane, instead it accelerates and goes of the lane and thats very dangerous.”

“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 affected components are the BOTH FRONT DRIVE AXLE/CV JOINT ASSEMBLIES on my 2024 Honda Prologue. This is not merely a suspected problem. After I reported the clicking/popping condition to Honda multiple times, the vehicle was finally inspected by a technician, who determined that BOTH FRONT AXLES WERE BROKEN AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. The original clicking/popping was not present when I obtained the vehicle. It developed afterward and progressively worsened, particularly during turns. After Honda replaced both front axle assemblies, the noise returned within a short period of time. The replacement components now exhibit the same condition and the noises are worse than they were with the original axles. Honda has still not provided an effective repair. This creates a serious safety concern because the drive axles/CV joints are critical drivetrain components responsible for transferring power to the wheels while allowing the wheels to turn and move with the suspension. I am concerned about continued deterioration or another axle/CV-joint failure occurring while driving, potentially resulting in loss of propulsion or vehicle control and endangering me, my…”
