2024 Honda Prologue Exterior lighting Problems

I am unable to manually turn on my lights, the vehicle stays on ‘automatic lights’. Headlight function remains normal within the automated functions, however, pursuing to Florida Statute 316.217 manual headlight control is necessary to turn on my headlights. The windshield wipers are an operation which does not take place unless the windshield wipers traveling at such speed, automated light control turns them on automatically. The cause of this is directly related to the software in the entertainment system that manually locks out the driver from addressing and turning on their own headlights.

My 2024 Honda Prologue sat in my driveway, during winter temps, for a few days, and when I walked around the car I noticed that the right rear tail light was completely cracked/busted. Upon closer evaluation, I also noticed that the left side started showing signs of cracking as well. The cracking started from the inside of the light, as you can't feel the crack on the outside surface, on the left side. There was no other damage anywhere else on the vehicle or in the surrounding area. The tail lights appeared to have busted/cracked on their own in the cold temperatures.

The backup camera is almost useless at night. Either the backup lights are not bright enough, or the camera is not sensitive enough in low light so that you are essentially blind when reversing at night.

While driving to work both digital screens turned off, I have no data, no speedometer, nothing. I pulled over and turned off the car and it did not reset nor come back on.

Often after signaling and completing a right turn, the momentum of the turn signal stalk automatically returning to the off position carries it slightly past center, causing the left turn signal to flash 3 times. This can lead to confusion for other drivers. For example, when I am turning onto a multi-lane roadway, they may mistakenly believe that I intend to immediately merge into their lane and react defensively, disrupting traffic flow in potentially dangerous ways. This has not been inspected and confirmed yet by my dealer service department, but unfortunately seems to be a common complaint made by other Prologue drivers that I've conversed with. This issue has also been observed by Chevrolet Blazer EV owners as their vehicle utilizes identical turn signal stalk components.

Visibility when backing up during low light conditions is dangerous. Back up camera is very dim and can result in accidents.

After using the turn signal, instead of self-cancelling it will operate turn signals in the opposite direction for several flashes and then cancel. Since the turn signal over cancels it causes an increased risk of collision with other drivers who could easily misinterpret intended action.

When engaging the right turn signal and upon completing a right turn, the left turn signal activates three times when the signal stalk returns to the center position. Took vehicle to Honda dealership where it was confirmed. Honda dealership replaced turn signal switch. Vehicle continuing to experience this problem, intermittently. This is a potential safety risk as other vehicles will see the left turn signal activated on your vehicle and may think you are trying to turn left or switch lanes, when you are not.

Incident

Dec 17, 2024

After charging my car from ~20% to 80% over the course of ~8 hours, I powered on the car, reversed out of my parking space, and began driving. Shortly after (<1 min), I noticed that both my Instrument Panel screen and my Infotainment screen had shut off and were black. I continued driving for another 2-3 minutes before pulling into a parking lot. In the lot I powered the car on and off many times, and also powered the car on in Service Mode. During each of these power cycles both screens remained black. About an hour later I returned to the car and again the screens did not turn on. I drove the car about half a mile, stopped and turned it off again for around 30 minutes. After coming back to the car this time, the screens worked as normal. My safety was put at risk because without my instrument panel, I lose almost all feedback and situational awareness of the state of the car. Also, while backing out of a parking space while the screens were not working, I did not have access to my back-up camera. I have not yet taken the car to a dealer or mechanic. I am writing this report directly after the screens resumed operating. I did not see any warning lamps or messages prior to the failure. But when I entered the car initially, I did notice that the infotainment screen was turned on and at a screen that otherwise is not seen until I turn on the car.

Both screens suddenly turned black while I was driving. I had no way to restart the screen, even after shutting off the car and turning back off. The two black screen remain on, but no way to see charging status, speed, control lights, etc.

While driving, both screens went completely black. Without the screens I was not able to monitor speed, no access to headlights and no access to adjust one pedal driving mode. All audio stopped as well. At first I didn’t know if I lost power to the entire vehicle, which distracted me from driving. Once I got my bearings, quickly accessed that the vehicle did not lose power, I pulled over. No warning lights or messages prior to this incident. No warning at all. It took about 10 minutes before both screens came back on. Being unable to monitor vehicle status and unable to see speed and no access to multiple options without the screen, put my safety at risk and other people around me at risk. I have not taken it in for any inspection at this time. This just happened yesterday.
