2024 Honda Prologue acceleration problems

Filed Oct 9, 2026 · Acceleration, Electrical · NY

The center display and instrument cluster on my 2024 Honda Prologue fail intermittently while driving. When the instrument cluster drops out, I lose the speedometer and driver information display. When the center display fails, the backup camera image is unavailable, along with audio and climate information. On July 24th, while driving at approximately 45 mph near Keuka Park with my family in the vehicle, the center display went black. Minutes later, the instrument cluster cut out and recovered three separate times. I recorded video of the display failure and two of the cluster dropouts. The problem began at 868 miles, about three weeks after delivery in April 2025. Dealers replaced the touch screen audio unit in May 2025 and the radio control assembly and infotainment module in June 2025. The problem returned. Honda Recall 26-056 (Meter/Center Display software update) was performed on 5/5/2026, and the dealer technician documented on the repair order that the screen was still flickering and freezing immediately after the recall. A later dealer visit could not duplicate the problem. Failures continue, and I have ongoing video documentation. The recall remedy did not fix this defect. Losing the speedometer and rearview camera while driving is a safety risk. Losing the infotainment screen and rearview camera is almost a daily guarantee at this point.

According to my research the part that has failed in the CV joint for my right front wheel. This was made evident to me by an occasional clicking noise when I turn and accelerate. The part is not available for inspection. So far, it has not put myself or others at risk. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer. Neither the vehicle nor the component has been inspected by those you listed above. There have been no warnings or other symptoms before the CV joint failed and the clicking noise began.

I wanted to register a complaint on an issue we have experienced in our 2024 Honda Prologue EX Elite with the "CV axles." This vehicle was sold to us with like-new mileage and was also certified, pre-owned by Honda. Symptoms of the problem were knocking sounds heard from the lower, front section of the car when accelerating from a stop and turning at the same time. It was first noticed around 4000 miles and diagnosed by the local Honda dealer at around 7300 miles. Based on many blog postings about consumer experiences with this issue, I believe it would have been difficult for Honda to unknowingly sell this car with this as a design defect, and it does not have a fix other than replacing with the same part which is prone to failure. Again, this claim can be backed up by many other consumer postings which reference defective CV axles being replaced multiple times. We would have made a wiser decision on purchase selection and are now concerned about resale value of the car. We are asking for your help in a recall mandate after evaluating the problem for Honda Prologues and GM vehicles using the same platform.

The manual indicates its a system malfunction that can be related to vehicle stability assist (VSA) electric power steering (EPS). My safety has not been put at risk.

It seems that the vehicles "auto hold" function, which is the standard control method for electric one-pedal driving cars does not always operate correctly or at all. This results in the vehicle suddenly accelerating due to gravity or potentially under it's own power. I have had to slam on the break many times to prevent the vehicle from busting through the garage door, and if any of my children or anyone else was near the car they could certainly receive life-threatening injuries. The vehicle has been bought in for this and a slew of other issues, and the service center relied on a software update and us testing the vehicle thereafter for the reported faults. The vehicle has been inspected by the Honda dealership's EV expert. There are no warning lights, alerts or any preceding messages that would suggest there was an issue. We have not been driving the vehicle due to the these obvious safety issues. When we were driving this vehicle both drivers and the kids in the car quickly became aware of the issue and all felt unsafe. The vehicle has remained parked and unused. Recently I was able to test this and recorded videos of the seemingly random, obviously unsafe and seemingly random events. I cannot seem to upload these videos to this portal.

When driving with the adaptive cruise control on, the Prologue throws out an alert after it suddenly disengages the cruise control that states that the forward camera is blocked and the cruise control will disengage. The cruise control also fails to notice cars in front of the Prologue and will speed up, then will suddenly "see" the car, jam on the breaks, then the accelerator again. Also, the adaptive cruise control cannot gauge distance between cars and all following distances set for the car, whether 1, 2, or 3, are exactly the same. This has been reproduced for the dealer and confirmed as an issue with this Prologue. The dealer then shrugged and said there were no fixes from Honda yet, so there was nothing they could do. This is a huge safety issue because a sudden deceleration at highway speeds has nearly caused a half dozen accidents in the past 2 weeks alone. This issue has been reoccurring for over 1 year with multiple congerences with the dealership, all ending with the statement that Honda has not issued a fix yet.

Anti-Braking System (ABS): The Anti-Braking System (ABS) malfunctioned, causing the car to unexpectedly slam on the brakes multiple times while backing up. This issue is likely related to a failure in the ABS sensors or control module. The component is available for inspection and was reported to the dealer. Transmission (Shifting into Neutral): The transmission failed by unexpectedly shifting into neutral while driving, preventing acceleration. This issue is likely related to a malfunction in the transmission control module (TCM) or related sensors. This component is available for inspection and was reported to the dealer. Anti-Braking System (ABS): This malfunction posed a significant safety risk. The car unexpectedly slamming on the brakes while backing out of the driveway onto the road causes a sudden stop, potentially leading to a collision with other vehicles as it takes several attempts of hitting the brakes or turning the emergency brake off to get the car to continue reversing out of the driveway. Transmission (Shifting into Neutral): This issue is extremely dangerous, especially on busy roads. When the vehicle unexpectedly shifted into neutral, I was unable to accelerate, which could have resulted in a dangerous situation if it had occurred on a highway or in heavy traffic, putting my family’s safety at risk. Both problems have been reported and inspected by the dealership but they were unable to reproduce the issues. I was told the auto braking system is performing as expected and is in the user manual and cannot be turned off which does not seem right. I have never driven a vehicle that cannot back out of a driveway without interruption. The Auto Braking System does display a message of "Rear Cross Traffic Auto Braking" when the brakes are initiated.

SEVERAL LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING, AND THE ACCELERATION stopped at 25 mph: 1. Service High voltage 2. Service Vehicle Soon 3. Reduced Acceleration - Drive With Care I brought the car in the next day. The service center at Honda Mahwah diagnosed the problem immediately. They said it is a valve for the AC system that cools the battery. They know this valve is bad on many Honda Prolouges and needs to be replaced. They said there is a "Service Bulletin" out for this problem. Then they said they do not have this valve and have no idea when it will be available. They did not want my car to sit on their lot, nor did they offer a loaner. I have not driven the car since, and it sits in my driveway, not the garage. I'm afraid of the high voltage problem, and I do not want the battery to explode in my garage. I think the federal safety agency should issue a recall so this can be fixed. Pictures attached.
