Owner report 11725957 · 2026-03-20 (March 20, 2026)
A clicking noise began today from the front suspension area while driving at slow speeds with a slight turn of steering wheel or minor road imperfections. At about 750 miles on the odometer. A separate but louder intermittent clunk is also coming from the front wheel area while using the one pedal driving/regenerative braking autohold function. This occurs when the vehicle comes to a complete stop or starting from a stop. This noise has been occurring since about 200 miles on the odometer. The vehicle was purchased new less than one month…

Owner report 11726045 · 2026-03-21 (March 21, 2026)
There is a serious issue with the adaptive cruise control braking when nothing is in the driving path of the vehicle. This issue happens a both slow and fast speeds creating a dangerous driving condition for myself and those around me. It happens almost daily when I use it. For instance, if I set the cruise to 25MPH and the road turns it will slow down for vehicles parked in driveways, and while going straight it will alert me to brake for parked on the left or right. While going faster like 45MPH, it has hard braked many times for vehicles ou…

Owner report 11736920 · 2026-05-11 (May 11, 2026)
After charging the vehicle. We reversed out of the parking stall. The vehicle braked really hard with no warning as if we hit something, but there was nothing for us to hit in the parking lot. The braking was so hard my body jerked! This is the second time the emergency braking engaged sudden. The first time a vehicle was near and the warning light did indicate vehicle but not close enough for the braking system to engage. It could have caused the vehicle to hit me from the rear if it was closer.

Owner report 11741850 · 2026-06-03 (June 3, 2026)
UKNOWN My 11 year old son was sitting in the front passenger seat. He unbuckled the seat belt and twisted to get out of the car. He found he was twisted in the seat belt with the retractor locked. First, I moved the car from the sloped driveway to the flat garage in an attempt to remove the effect of gravity on the retractor. Then, I tried to feed the seat belt back into the retractor but the retractor remained lock. We reclined the seat, raised the seat and I tried to yank the belt 4 times to override the retractor but I was not able to loosen…

Owner report 11759649 · 2026-08-26 (August 26, 2026)
In approximately early August 2026 (exact date not recorded), while driving my 2026 Honda Prologue Touring at approximately 20–30 mph on a surface street, the vehicle's forward automatic braking system activated without warning and braked hard to a near stop. There was no vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist, or obstacle in front of me. I was approaching a pedestrian crossing that was empty at the time. Conditions were daylight and warm, dry weather. The deceleration was violent enough that I was thrown forward against the seat belt. My foot was rest…

Owner report 11759655 · 2026-08-26 (August 26, 2026)
On August 23, 2026, I was backing my 2026 Honda Prologue Touring out of a parking space at a Costco parking lot in Cedar Park. I was reversing very slowly, at below walking speed, and repeatedly applying light brake pressure because of interruptions and pedestrian traffic in the lot. While reversing in this manner, the vehicle abruptly and forcefully applied the brakes on its own. The braking was violent enough that I initially believed I had struck an object. There was no vehicle, pedestrian, cart, or obstacle behind me, and no vehicle was cro…
