Sensors are highly sensitive, particularly regarding rear braking and parking maneuvers. There are never any objects or individuals behind me, yet the vehicle brakes automatically.

OnStar would not work and could not be enabled. OnStar is required to enable navigation and the HondaLink app. The dealership keep the vehicle for 5 week trying to resolve. Electric cars really need onboard navigation to work. Without navigation you cannot - navigate to charging stations. - the battery will not precondition - you cannot open your garage door Without the HondaLink app you cannot - remotely unlock my car in an emergency - set off emergency alarm - can not locate my car if missing

Specifically, I have encountered recurring problems with the vehicle's automatic braking system, as well as issues with the Honda Prologue app, both of which I believe compromise the vehicle's safety and performance. -??The vehicle's automatic braking system appears to be malfunctioning, as it has activated unexpectedly on multiple occasions, leading to near-miss accidents. On at least three occasions, the vehicle-??s brakes have engaged without cause, even in situations where there is no obstruction or -??phantom-?? vehicle detected. This automatic braking has not only been inappropriate but also posed a significant safety risk to both myself and other road users. The reverse braking system exhibits similar issues, activating without cause. Despite the alerts being on and the brakes not being engaged, the system-??s warning signals still activate, leading to further confusion and potential danger. I have consulted with both the dealership and the Prologue forum, and it has been confirmed that this is an ongoing issue. However, the dealership has indicated that they have no immediate workaround or solution. The only suggested viableremedy has been to disable these safety features entirely, which negates the very purpose of having them. -??The Honda Prologue app, which is intended to provide critical vehicle information and allow remote monitoring and control, is also malfunctioning. I have been in communication with Honda for over two months regarding these issues, but unfortunately, no solution has been provided. The app is essential for monitoring vehicle functions such as theft prevention, charging status, and temperature control, all of which are key safety and convenience features. I am concerned about my ability to monitor the vehicle-??s charging, especially given the increasing number of incidents involving electric vehicles catching fire during or after charging. Proper monitoring of charging status is crucial to avoid potential over overcharging and battery degradation.

No heat at all. This is not good when here in the northeast its only been in the teens. My car has now been sitting at the dealership for a month with no idea when the part will be in to fix it. If they had just said to keep driving it till the parts came in this could have caused a safety issue health wise. I have not contacted the manufacturer as of it about this issue.

When using honda link locking or unlock doors system fails to unlock. If I can-??t get to my keys or have lost my keys I-??m locked out of my vehicle.

HondaLink app will not connect with vehicle and requires re-activation with Honda support occasionally. This is a safety concern as I am unable to identify and/or unlock car in an emergency (lost key), nor check tire pressure, and ultimately identify current state of vehicle battery. I have notified manufacturer and have two (2) open cases at this time. Dealer has also been notified. No warning lamps, several messages appear (see attached images). First occurrence was shortly after taking receipt of vehicle (Wednesday 15-Jan) and has occurred on several other occasions, which has caused me to request specific case investigation from manufacturer.

The vehicle comes with an HondaLink app that allows control of many features and is needed to claim the valuable charging credits (EVGo) that come with the vehicle. It has been more than a month since we bought the vehicle and the HondaLink app has never worked. I have been on the phone with Honda many times with no fix. They have sent me email links to patch the issue, but none of the links have worked. This is a defective app.

HondaLink app has major defects which impact safety and operation of the vehicle. Locking and unlocking the doors via the app doesn't work half the time. This causes a safety issue to access the vehicle if my keys are not readily available. Additionally the app notifies me that my charging is complete on the vehicle when it in fact is not charged to the set charging level. This could cause issues with operation of the vehicle if someone stops charging when receiving this notification. This could cause the vehicle to not have sufficient battery upon using the vehicle. Additionally, the tire pressure readout shown in the app doesn't work half the time. The app has a very long response time to do most tasks, or times out meaning the task doesn't complete. Additionally, there is a wind noise developing with the vehicle when driving around 35mph or greater, it is loud when driving the vehicle and sounds like the drivers window is cracked open, however it is not.

Clicking sound heard when turning right or left at approximately 300 miles. No warning lights were on during the events. I brought it to dealership and after a test drive, was told it's an axle and will take 2 weeks to get in. I was informed it is safe to drive in the meantime. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance representative. Only the dealership, so far.

The Honda link app frequently does not connect to my iPhone to remotely unlock my car. If I am locked out with the keys inside I would not safely get into the vehicle. I hope Honda will fix this issue. The HondaLink app is basically terrible and I give up with the connection after several attempts.

My brakes were mushy when braking. Warning notices on the dash for servicing brakes and other related brake systems came up. At one point I couldn't come to a full stop. Issue first noticed 9/26/24. Dropped the car off at the dealer 10/8/24 and it sat for four months waiting the brake master cylinder. Picked up on 1/9/25. So far the brakes are working fine. I am now noticing a clicking sound coming from the front end when steering.

Vehicle makes clicking noise in driver side front wheel area when making a sharp left turn and moving vehicle from a stopped or parked position. Vehicle was taken to dealership for inspection and was told by dealership that the issue was compared to a "known good" vehicle which reproduced the same sound. Dealership said this is considered normal. Dealership test drove vehicle with me and confirmed hearing the noise. This issue is potentially a faulty axle and or CV. This is potentially a safety risk as a can cause unstable driving, resulting in injury or death.

When using my HondaLink app to unlock the door, sometimes the app has issues sending the signal to the car. This is a safety issue because in the event I lose my keys I will be locked out of my vehicle, or in the event of an emergency when I need to access the vehicle quickly, I will be unable to do so This is unconfirmed by any dealer and I have not contacted the manufacturer about the issue.

On 13 August 2024 I was driving my 2024 Honda Prologue when the DIC and infotainment screens went blank. At this time with no information displayed on any screen, the car was unsafe to operate. I drove the car straight to the local dealer, Tony Honda. The dealer was unable to diagnose the problem. After contacting Honda Tech support, they decided the audio control unit was defective. After 65 days the dealer was able to replace the unit and it seems to work properly. Honda informed the dealer the car was safe to operate without any display screens or information. Actually the car was unsafe to drive with no speedometer indication or any other control functioning.

The center console and the screen behind the sharing wheel black at the same time while I was driving. I couldn't see the speed I was going while driving. I tried turning off the car, taking the key out, then turning the car back on the nothing changed. This issue put me and the other people on the road at risk. Two days before my center console was glitching. I tied to put the map on google maps and apple CarPlay map and it was non stop moving. After about an hour the screen and maps staring the work fine then this time it went completely out. I have schedule an appointment at my nearest dealership for this issue hopefully they know what going on. I have also went online to see if I am the only one experiencing this problem. I few other people have also voiced their concerns on this issue.

I just leased a 2024 Honda Prologue in October. It has a serious design flaw that Honda is refusing to fix -- the minimum temperature setting for heat is 70 degrees! Set the temperature any lower than 69 and it will blast feet and face with cold air even if the car is cold and it is 20 degrees outside. With a heavy winter coat, that's way too warm (and its also bad for range). I consider it a safety issue because when it gets too warm, it negatively impacts my alertness. And I can't safely take off my heavy winter coat while on the highway. I opened case #[XXX] with Honda on [XXX] and on Dec 20 Cynthia called me back to say that unless NHTSA declares it a safety defect Honda will not be fixing this. Now I'm stuck with the 3 year lease with this problem unless I can convince the dealer and Honda Finance to terminate the lease and refund my money. If I had known about this limitation I would have never leased this vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
