When making sharp left turn the vehicle makes a scary clicking noise.
I have a brand new Honda Prologue Elite that, within 500 miles of leasing it, has a loud knocking noise on both the front left and front right sides whenever I make a hard left or right turn. It sounds like a loud knocking/creaking noise and I usually hear it three times during a turn. It can be heard over a moderate volume radio. The sound has been replicated by a service technician at the dealership, who thought they corrected it (found a loose bolt under the panel under the passenger seat!) but they did not fix the actual problem and it continues. The sound remains and seems to be getting louder. I am increasingly concerned about what happens if the noise continues to get louder and the part(s) eventually fails - and where the car will go if that happens. This has happened on repeat occasions from 30-55 mph (though usually starting from a stop, like being at a light waiting for my chance to turn left).
Component/System Failure: The issue involves a clicking noise coming from the front of the vehicle whenever I turn the steering wheel to the left or right. Based on my observations, I suspect that the noise is coming from the axle, particularly one of the CV joints. The clicking noise is noticeable at low and moderate speeds, and it occurs consistently every time I turn the vehicle. Safety Risk: If the issue is indeed related to a malfunctioning CV joint, this could potentially pose a significant safety risk. If the CV joint were to fracture or break while driving, it could result in a loss of control of the vehicle, leading to an accident. While the noise itself is not an immediate hazard, the possibility of a sudden failure of the axle or CV joint is concerning, as it could impair my ability to control the vehicle and could potentially cause a serious crash. Reproduction/Confirmation by Dealer or Service Center: The problem has not yet been inspected by a dealer or independent service center. However, the clicking noise can be reproduced consistently every time I turn the car, whether turning left or right. Given the regularity of the noise, I believe this issue is likely to continue and should be addressed. Inspection by Manufacturer, Police, Insurance, or Others: At this time, the issue has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. Since the noise has only recently started and has been persistent, I have not yet taken the car to the dealership for an inspection, but I intend to do so soon. Warning Lamps or Messages: There have been no warning lamps, messages, or alerts shown on the dashboard related to this issue. The vehicle continues to function normally aside from the clicking noise when turning. No other symptoms or mechanical issues have been noticed. When It First Appeared: The clicking noise first appeared around 1000 miles ago. As of now, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 5000 miles.
I am having issues with clicking noises from the front of the vehicle either if I turn left or right. I been told it’s a known issue when I return it to the dealership and there is nothing wrong with it and that a replacement will not help cause it comes back the noise
There is a loud, audible clicking noise when turning the steering wheel to the left or to the right, regardless of speed.
There is a clicking/knocking sound every time I turn left. The dealership says nothing is broken but I only have 3k miles on the vehicle
When turning right or left and accelerating there is a loud clicking sound as if the CV joints are bad.
UNKNOWN. When accelerating from stop while turning, a clicking/knocking sound comes from the front end indicative of an impending CV joint/driveline/steering failure.
The vehicle makes a knocking sound while making left and right turns. Car has been at the dealer for this issue twice started at 4000 miles. They finally ordered the CV axles, however the parts are on back order due to global supply issue. Dealer stated Estimated ETA 60 days.
weak CV joint in the front axel produces a click-noise during front turns. inspected @ manufacturer dealership, parts are on back order. Apparently this is a known issue. Additionally, the HVAC system required valves to be replaced on a new car (>3000 miles)
Loud clunking noise when making right turn from stop.
1st: Windshield not available to be replaced after crack has formed since 3rd day of purchase. The crack has extended more than half way across and Honda claims that windshield is not available and in back order. I have made multiple claims to my ins to have it replaced as well as to Honda and I am getting nowhere. This poses a safety issue and needs to be rectified immediately. Not having replacement windshield available is zero excuses. 2nd: While steering to either right or left, the axile makes a subtle clicking sound intermittently. I have researched and this seems to be a common issue with this car. Honda claims it is normal which it is not. An accident can occur and is a safety issue to me and others on the road.
Car makes clicking/knocking noise in front end when turning left or right. Took to dealership and they said it is likely CV joint issue. Part is on back order and awaiting part for replacement. Unclear how safe it is to drive in this condition. Occurred with around 2000 miles on the car.
When turning the wheel there is Clicking sounds from the front axle, turning 90 degrees right or left. Dealer has been informed and said it sounds like an axle issue and that others have complained about this. Started almost immediately after taking delivery. Also rear camera failed after 1 hour of taking delivery.
Lots of "clicking" noises when turning right or left. I believe the noises are coming from the CV axles.
Vehicle makes a clicking noise when making a right turn. I believe it has done it a few times when making a left turn, but it seems to do it constantly when making a right turn
Car will randomly stop while in reverse. This would happen even without obstructions or other vehicles in view. This happens at least every few days. I made sure to keep the camera free from debris and dry. The parking break will also enable as soon as it brakes.
There is a clicking sound in the axel when making a sharp left turn.
There is clicking in what I believe are the CV axles while turning left and right. The heat does not work in the blistering cold which causes loss of visibility since the defrost won’t work. When this happens the vehicle gives a red warning light indicating “service high voltage system/battery.” I have taken it into the dealership 3 times now for the same reasons and each time they can’t diagnose the issue.
When I take sharp turns the passenger side has a loud clicking sound. It's concerning after less than 600 miles there is a loud clicking sound.
On a cold day the vehicle's baking system failed. It was would not move more than 62MPH and would not function. When dealer was contacted no assistance was given until Honda Corporation got involved. The problem cleared up on its own and I was advised that it should be fine at this point.
Whenever it gets cold, the car will being to experience brake systems failure, it was suddenly only go 62MPH. On this particular occasion, the car died in the middle of the street, thus blocking the street and causing a police response. Contacted Honda Support and they advised it would be up to 2 hours to get it towed out of there. Police called their own tow truck, the tow trucks had issues with it not going into Transport Mode and stuck parking break. It was brought to the dealer for repair. I believe the car is not safe because there has been several failures of this nature during the cold and other general system failures that appear to be computer related. More than likely police information item is on file.
Safety issue 1 Automatic collision breaking is too sensitive when going in reverse. The vehicle locked up the brakes several times when I was trying to reverse causing myself and my family‘s heads to snap back suddenly. Safety issue 2 -knocking sound coming from the CV joint when backing up and turning at the same time. This usually happens when it’s cold outside. This is a safety issue because if the CV joint fails, this could cause loss of control of the vehicle while driving.
My car is very low miles 2600 and has a clicking sound on the right front CV joint. The Dealer diagnosed and said there is nothing they can do. Honda is aware of it. He said it's a known issue with the Honda Prologue that thousands are affected.
CV Axle makes clicking/creaking noises and may fail, causing steering steering. suspension safety issues. The dealer identified the left axle as failing and replaced it. However, the problem has since recurred in both front axles. Dealer claims car is safe to drive.
Since this vehicle came out new from the dealer, every time I make a U-turn it makes a sound in the cv joint, especially when it is on the left side.
Car has less then 4000 miles on it and needs both front CV joints replace as they loudly click when turning left or right. Parts are on indefinite back order.
Makes clicking sound from cv joint when turning. Dealer states replacement parts are backordered indefinitely.
UNKNOWN- car makes loud knocking sounds when turning right or left. Not sure what it could be but I read other people say it’s an axle issue. Took car to Honda, they inspected car and said it was fine and cannot figure out why the sound is occurring, but did say all prologues have this knocking sound when turning. Honda is currently investigating why this is happening and as of now, my dealership said the car is safe to drive even though I hear the sound daily and it makes me nervous. I use this car daily to drive my kids to school and myself to work and it is the only car I have but it is worrisome.
