2024 Honda Prologue Bloomington, IN

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

This is my second separate report which I experience with my car. On August of 30th, the car was unable to shift, so it was towed to Andy Mohr dealer to repair. It took 5 days for serviceman to figure out there was a wire issue. So he fixed, so he thought, on the September 9th, the same warning light came on my dashboard. I spent over a thousand dollar just serviceman to diagnose the same problem 3 times, but nothing was fixed. The warning lights are "service transmission unable to shift soon", adaptive cruise unavailable, one-pedal driving unavailable, brake hold unavailable, service emergency brake, service transmission unable to shift and more.

2024 Honda Prologue Denton, TX

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The car just stopped as I was driving, would not shift gears, and told me “service high voltage system” and “ service battery fault shutting down soon” and turned off. It was on 185 miles left (63%) and went to 0% later on and now won’t charge or turn on. I have screen shots and time stamps of those things

2024 Honda Prologue Seattle, WA

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

While driving, the center console and its corresponding section of the instrument cluster will freeze and then completely turn off and become black screens. Then a message stating “the system is restarting” comes on the screen and after a minute or two it will turn back on. This happens at random times in random intervals; I have not been able to detect a pattern in the time between incidents or the amount of driving. My car has already been repaired for the initial federal safety recall of both screens turning off while driving, removing all instrument panel function which I experienced several times before being able to get an appointment for repair. This secondary issue presented after the software repairing the safety recall was put into my car. This began March 2026 and the most recent incident date is listed below (September 2026).

2024 Honda Prologue Baldwin Park, CA

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The digital instrument cluster and infotainment/display system repeatedly FAILS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I AM DRIVING. The screens suddenly glitch, shut down, or go completely black, causing me to lose access to critical vehicle information. The vehicle remains available for NHTSA or manufacturer inspection upon request. This is an ongoing and unresolved safety defect. I did NOT experience the blank-screen condition before Honda Recall 26-056. The recall specifically addressed a condition that could cause the instrument cluster/infotainment display to intermittently go blank while driving. The recall repair was performed April 13–14, 2026. Within approximately one week AFTER that repair, my screens began randomly shutting off while driving. When the failure occurs, the displays can remain blank for approximately 5–20 seconds. During that time, I unexpectedly lose visibility of critical information, including vehicle speed and warning indications. A driver should never suddenly lose access to essential operating and safety information while a vehicle is moving. The unpredictable failure also creates a serious distraction because I must continue driving without knowing when the displays will return. Honda dealers have made MULTIPLE unsuccessful repair attempts. On April 20–22, the dealer performed a factory-data reset. The failure continued. On May 4–7, the dealer contacted Honda Techline, identified an internal defect involving the A11/radio control module, replaced the module, and programmed/configured the system. The defect STILL was not corrected. I reported the continuing screen glitching/blanking on August 6, 2026. There is generally NO WARNING before the screens fail. They can suddenly go completely blank while the vehicle is being driven. Despite a recall repair, subsequent diagnosis, software/programming work, a factory reset, and replacement of an electronic control module, the same dangerous malfunction continues to occur.

2025 Honda Prologue Iowa City, IA

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL

I had the same issue that prompted a recall of the 2024 prologue, screens went completely black while I was driving on the interstate around 8 pm. The black screen spontaneously resolved after about one minute. That was really scary not having important operating info such as my speed and my GPS directions!

2024 Honda Prologue Middletown, NY

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

I went to charge my car Sunday morning, and throughout the day it kept showing on the dashboard that the charge door was open. I stopped several times to check, and the charge door was actually closed, which was really strange. Later, I went into a store for less than 10 minutes. I locked my car before going inside, but when I came back out, all the windows were down. It honestly scared me because I have no idea how that could have happened. I shared my experience with a coworker who has the same car, and he told me the exact same thing happened to him. It’s so strange and concerning. This is the first time it has happened to me, but now I’m nervous about leaving anything inside the car, wondering if the windows could randomly open again.

2025 Honda Prologue Springfield, VA

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

On June 11, 2026, my 2025 Honda Prologue displayed a High Voltage System Alert immediately after I attempted to charge the vehicle. The vehicle would not accept a charge and became inoperable. I brought it to the dealership the same day, and the vehicle has remained there since. The dealership first replaced the charging port, but the vehicle still would not charge. On June 24, 2026, the dealership informed me that the transmission lines from the charging port to the battery needed to be replaced. Since that date, I have not received any updates, repair timeline, or confirmation that the issue is being addressed. The vehicle is currently unusable and cannot be charged. The high‑voltage alert indicates a potential electrical system failure involving the charging system and high‑voltage components, which may pose a safety risk. The defect has left the vehicle inoperable for over a month with no resolution.

The infotainment screen during driving goes black and resets. While not necessary to perform vehicle function, I am concerned it is tied to other parts of the car that could cause a safety incident.

NHTSA complaint #11737504 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

2024 Honda Prologue Tallahassee, FL

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Vehicle: 2024 Honda Prologue Touring AWD The vehicle has an ongoing clicking/noise issue coming from the driver-side front CV joint/axle area, especially during turns, acceleration, and low-speed maneuvering. The clicking noise appears to be progressively worsening and raises concerns about premature CV joint failure and potential drivetrain safety issues. The issue has persisted despite service visits and replacement attempts. Additionally, the vehicle intermittently displays a “Charge Port Door Open” warning message even when the charge port door is fully closed and secured. This false warning can prevent charging functions from operating normally and creates concerns about electrical system reliability and sensor malfunction. Both issues occur intermittently but repeatedly, affecting confidence in the vehicle’s safety and reliability. The ongoing driver-side CV joint clicking noise has caused concerns about potential drivetrain failure while operating the vehicle. Due to the worsening nature of the issue and repeated occurrence, I no longer feel fully safe or confident driving the vehicle, especially during turns and normal road operation. The false charge port warning may also interfere with the vehicle’s charging capability and normal operation.

2025 Honda Prologue Monroe Township, NJ

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Drop off a few days after receiving vehicle. Picked up and dropped back off the same day due to issue repeating it self after being told there was no issue. Parts were supposedly replace on one of the occasions. No real time spent on the vehicle according to invoices. 8/28/25 -9/4/25 9/4/25 - 9/15/25 9/24/25 - 10/14/25 I have brought the car in for the same problem multiple times without it being rectified. I currently have videos and pictures from when this started to this current time. There are also other customers that have the same complaints that I do. Below is a list of issues that have been going on since first complaint including continued first complaint. I do believe that this is an issue and is a danger due to the reverse camera glitching due to the screen, not being able to get out of the screen, sometimes can not leave a parking space due to the sensor says that there is something in the way where indeed there is nothing. Also can not pull out of drive way during snow due to the car automatically breaking for snow. The collision for the front is always going off when there is no need for it to go off as this can cause someone to unexpectedly stop due to this being something that is supposed to be a warning. If this could happen to the vehicle constantly without a solution then this could be connected to something much more serious. There are other issues that have gone on as well that I have slowly started to notice and pay attention to. I do believe that the amount I am paying for this car it should not have these issues with out explanation. Clearly this is common and on going. One thing can lead to another with these issues. The screen in the middle of the dashboard —- Screen goes black for no known reason Screen flashing Screen is rainbow Touch screen will not work at these times When screen is glitching you can not turn volume down or off, disconnect phone, charging port goes out. Can not back out of parking space due to sensors going off.
