It’s exciting to buy the best technology from a well-known name like Honda. However, if you’ve recently driven off the lot in a 2024 Honda Prologue, and it hasn’t lived up to everything you thought it would be, you’re not alone. Hundreds of other owners have filed consumer complaints that raise questions about whether this model belongs on the growing list of the worst cars of the year.
A Closer Look at the Car Complaints
The 2024 Honda Prologue has over 370 complaints reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Many of these issues revolve around systems that affect your safety on the road.
Steering and Suspension Issues
Honda Prologue owners have noticed hearing a loud clicking sound when turning at low speeds. Even after returning to the dealership, some frustrated drivers leave after finding out there is no known fix despite the noise growing louder.
Faulty Collision Avoidance Systems
The Prologue’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is another major concern. There have been a lot of issues associated with the back-over prevention and forward collision avoidance. You might have noticed that your car suddenly slams on the brakes for no reason, even when you’re just trying to back out of the driveway. Additionally, drivers are running into circumstances where the emergency braking system activates when there isn’t anything behind the car, causing unpredictable reactions and creating dangerous conditions. Some owners have even said dealership staff acknowledged the issue but could only recommend disabling the safety features entirely.
Electrical Failures and Powertrain Warnings
Screens going out or signals that stop working from electrical blackouts create dangerous conditions when you’re driving down the road. The Prologue’s high-voltage battery system commonly causes these issues, triggers alerts, and reduces acceleration.
Recall Repercussions
One recall has been issued for the 2024 Honda Prologue related to the suspension system, specifically a potential defect in the right front lower control arm that could fracture and lead to a total loss of control. That might sound isolated, but when you consider the large number of noise and electrical related complaints alongside this recall, it’s clear the Prologue is facing more than just early production hiccups.
