2024 Honda Prologue service brakes problems

“My 2024 Honda Prologue has repeatedly applied sudden, unexpected braking while I was driving, even though there was no vehicle, pedestrian, or obstruction in front of me. The incidents have occurred at different speeds, including approximately 45 mph and 10–15 mph. The vehicle abruptly decelerates without an apparent reason, creating a serious risk of a rear-end collision and endangering me, my passengers, and other motorists. I have sought assistance from authorized Honda dealerships on multiple occasions. During a previous service visit, certain safety features were disabled, but the unexpected braking occurred again afterward. The problem has continued despite my attempts to have it addressed. On October 9, 2026, I brought the vehicle to San Leandro Honda. The dealership documented my complaint that the vehicle randomly brakes when nothing is in front of it. The vehicle was inspected, but the concern remains unresolved. I am not aware of the dealership successfully reproducing the unexpected braking during its inspection. I have also reported this safety concern to American Honda and requested a vehicle repurchase. The manufacturer is reviewing my request. I…”

“We were stuck in traffic and out of the blue the emergency brake system engaged, thank goodness no one hit us from behind- there was no reason to break there was no obstacle or any problem front of us”

“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.”

“I am reporting a serious safety concern involving my Honda Prologue and believe the repeated failures may indicate an unresolved defect involving the vehicle’s electronic, braking, ABS, propulsion, transmission/shift, or vehicle-control systems. On [XXX], the vehicle first displayed an error/warning. I contacted the Honda dealership in Vancouver, Washington, and was instructed to bring it in for inspection. I was out of town and could not do so immediately. On [XXX], I brought the vehicle to the dealership in the morning. They kept it overnight and returned it to me on [XXX] at approximately 2:00 PM, telling me the problem was a “system glitch” and had been fixed. On [XXX], less than 24 hours later, I was driving home after completing a Lyft ride when the vehicle displayed: “One-Pedal Driving Unavailable – Use Brake for Stopping.” At the same time, the ABS warning and multiple other safety-system warnings illuminated.The vehicle then became immobilized in the middle of an intersection. I was in an unsafe location and had to contact police for assistance. The vehicle remained unable to operate for approximately two hours. After multiple restart attempts, it…”

“Please see details of NHTSA Campaign #25V433000. This is a known issue associated with a platform technology shared by GM and Honda. I purchased the vehicle as CPO on 31 July and almost immediately the parking brake warning light and the 'Service Transmission Now, Unable to Shift Soon' error code appeared on the dash. I returned the car to the dealer on 1 Aug for repairs and was told this is a 'known issue' with Honda Prologues, but there is no recall in effect for Honda. How is this possible? I am concerned with the degree of risk I could have potentially encountered due to a sudden brake failure or being stranded.”

“While driving my 2024 Honda Prologue Elite at anywhere from 10-30 MPH, the One-Pedal Driving system suddenly and without warning faults out and disabled mid-drive. The regenerative braking abruptly cut out, causing a sudden loss of expected deceleration, creating a 'lurch forward' feeling. A dashboard warning light illuminated instructing me to press the brake pedal immediately. This has happened multiple times, causing a severe safety hazard during normal traffic conditions. The vehicle shares an identical GM Ultium electronic brake modulator architecture with other previously recalled vehicles. The car is unsafe and should be considered for recall repairs. I have read that this is happening to others and Honda really needs to address this issue.”
