All Steering Complaints (14)
Around 3000 miles both front axles developed a clicking sound when turning. The sounds has gotten progressively worse over the next 2000 miles. Honda dealer service center confirmed bad axles but states Honda America no longer allows them to replace the axles since the replacements are failing quickly. Second dealer also declined to fix defective axles stating Honda America is "working on a new part". No one knows what the part is or when it will potentially be available. Honda dealer now appraises the Prologue at *less than half* of the MSRP. (Vehicle has 5000 miles.)
When accelerating and turning left or right at the same time there is a severe clicking sound coming from the CV Joints sounds like they are cracked. This started to happen at 3500 miles. Brought it into the Honda dealership Service Department and they said it was a known issue and there was not a fix. Contrary to the research that I have done about this issue and Honda has been replacing these with a so-called new part number that fixes the issue. I am concerned because when turning and accelerating the stability of the vehicle does not feel safe.
Every time I have to turn the car on a 90 degree angle from a full stop at an intersection, the car makes a loud clicking sound as the car comes in and out of making the turn. A quick internet search about this shows it’s a widespread issue, and Honda is replacing axles to fix the issue. This should be a recall.
I have noticed a loud knocking sound coming from both the front right and left areas of the car when turning. I have read it may be a faulty CV joint but I am not sure. This issue arose before the car reached 6k miles. I believe these joints play a significant role in vehicle stability and safety. I have not been able to take it to the dealer yet but I will as soon as I can get a day off of work. There were no warnings on the dash, just a loud knocking when turning which appears to be a common defect that users are experiencing.
My 2025 Honda Prologue Touring, purchased in August and currently with only 7,000 miles, is experiencing multiple serious safety issues. The vehicle has already had both the left and right axles replaced. by warranty Now, the left axle is failing again. A defective axle can break at high speeds, which puts my entire family at risk, including my baby. This issue compromises vehicle stability and could easily lead to a serious accident. Additionally, the vehicle’s collision mitigation system activates unexpectedly, causing the car to brake on its own without any obstacle present. This sudden braking is extremely dangerous, especially on the highway, as it could result in a rear-end collision. The blind-spot indicators also activate at random. When I attempt to turn right or left, the blind-spot warning turns on even when I double-check and confirm that there are no vehicles anywhere near me. This creates confusion and hesitation while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Given the repeated axle failures, unintended braking, and malfunctioning blind-spot monitoring system, I believe the vehicle presents significant safety defects that require investigation.
Vehicle makes click-click-click (2-4) on hard over turns with accelerations (e.g. parking lot exit to street) Sounds front right CV/Axle region. Vehicle has intermittent MIL "Service High Voltage Soon" which resolves on subsequent startup, might be linked to scheduled charging within car infotainment.
Bad front driver's side axle. Loud clicking noise heard when turning left, on every turn
The vehicle makes a noticeable clicking sound when making routine left and right turns. This noise is not coming from the cabin of the vehicle, but sounds like it's coming from the wheels/axles. I have observed some level of clicking sound during turns since I purchased the vehicle in May 2025, but with each passing month, the volume and frequency of the clicking has increased. I now feel unsafe making any turns at 90 degrees or greater as the steering feels insecure and sounds indicate possible hazard/parts failure during vehicle operation. Almost all turns feel as though they are pushing the vehicle to the limit and I fear the parts/joints will fail while the vehicle is in operation. U-Turns are nearly out of the question. If a vehicle cannot safely and effectively make a greater degree of turn, then the turning radius should not allow a driver to put the vehicle into that position. However, for this vehicle, it seems almost any turning at all would then be completely impossible. As the car is still new and well within warranty, I will be taking it to my dealership for inspection and repair. The vehicle has never been in any type of collision or accident of any kind.
When turning right or left the vehicle is making a clicking sound. When I first got the vehicle within a month of ownership it made this sound prior to me making my first payment. I took it to the dealership for assessment and they said that there was an issue with the axle. They replaced both front axles but less than 3 months later the sound is back and I have taken my vehicle back to Honda. They told me that they have to contact corporate to see how Honda will want to handle the issue. I have literally only made 4 payments since having the vehicle. There seems to be a major issue that has been called out on Reddit forums however no one seems to be reporting the issue properly.
