Makes a clicking sound when turning. Honda unwilling to repair or look at car. It's been an ongoing issue with Honda Prologue owners.
I bought the vehicle with about 12k a few months go. While making a shap left turn I noticed some clicking. This happen seminary regularly. After doing some research I found out this was a common issue. Since, it didn't happen that often I ignored it. On Tuesday 6/30/2026 I took the vehicle in for a tire rotation and system update. The vehicle now has approximately twelve thousand miles. After the serviceI picked up my vehicle and went home. The next day after driving about a 75 miles, I noticed an audible clicking sound when I made a right turn. This sound happened about three more times that day. I took the vehicle back to a Honda dealer today and I was just notified that they are going to be replacing the front two control arms. The vehicle is still under warranty. I was told that this is a common issue by the honda dealer.And it should only take a few hours to fix panning my parts are received tomorrow morning. Other than the audible clicking sound, there were no other warning lights or indications. Based on the number of complaints that I read about online in honda's representatives, knowing that there is an issue, I think this should be further investigated in case there are other safety concerns.
Clicking noise coming from the front axles when turning either right or left. ADAS settings seem to be too sensitive. Car slams on the emergency brake when backing out of a parking spot with no obstacles in view. Forward warning system alerts occur even though there is nothing in front of the car.
My 2025 Honda Prologue is experiencing a consistent knocking/cracking noise when turning the steering wheel at low speeds, particularly during tight turns such as parking or exiting driveways. The noise appears to originate from the front axle or wheel area and is most noticeable when accelerating slightly while turning. The sound can be described as a series of clicks, pops, or clunks, and occurs intermittently on both left and right turns. This issue has been widely reported in 2024–2025 Prologue models and is commonly associated with potential CV joint or drive axle defects, where owners describe similar noises occurring early in the vehicle’s life and sometimes worsening over time.
There's a knocking or clicking sound when I turn, and sometimes when I'm not turning. It seems to be coming from the front left wheel area.
When turning at low speeds and sometimes on the highway the car will mta clicking noise and even drift to the right . I’ve had a wheel alignment done and the problem still continues
Knocking when turning left, right and making U-turns
Axle clicking when turning. Car visited dealer on Jan2026 and they requested replacement parts. Last update from dealer stats Honda stopped replacing them due to defective parts. Replacement part is under design.
The CV Axle joint has prematurely worn down and makes a popping sound when executing a sharp turn at low speeds. Honda is aware of the issue and has noted that it is widespread; however, they have offered no solution for fixing it.
Car makes a knocking noise when turning. It was determined this is a bad CV axel which now needs to be replaced.
Axle clicking initially only while making turns left and right - now when it drives straight the axle sometimes clicks as well.
Car started making knocking noise at 3k miles coming from axle. I reported to Dealership. Car sways on highways when steering straight. Car stop s at 10mph when turning corners saying that a pedestrian is infront of vehicle when there is no one. Backup camera glitches. Vehicle very unsafe. Dealership not doing anything. Contacted employees that sold me the vehicle and they are acting non chalant.
When I make a u turn the wheel makes a loud clicking noise.
Vehicle was taken to dealer for click noise Hurd while turning right around only 4k miles. The dealer confirmed the noise using a mechanics ear they said as of right now no replacement has been authorized. Honda is investigating. January 2026 car started clicking while in curves and any movement in steering. Still no fix. March 2026 still not fix because Honda hasn’t investigated yet and now my system has horrible issues with the auto break and rear collision avoidance system. Hondas “fix” turn it off. Why wouldn’t get a touring model with all those features just to have them tuned off.
A "clicking" or "knocking" noise when turning, a defect in the axle/CV joints.
The 2025 Honda Prologue is 7 months old with 5424 miles has a clicking sound when you turn all the way left or all the way right. It is a defective design part that will continue to get worse until the vehicle will become undrivable. Honda Corporation is aware of the problem as the 2024 Prologue has the same issue.
It makes a clicking sound when the steering is near the end of travel in either direction. I believe this is a problem becoming more and more common with the CV joint or axle. But this vehicle used on 2/24/26 with 17,000 miles on it.
After a 2K miles, clicking sounds began with CV joints. Clicking progressively getting louder and can be felt. This is a safety issue because these joints will ultimately fail. Honda states there is NO FIX to the issue. There are many many many owners who are experiencing this same issue.
Driver Side and Passenger side CV Joints are failing. Severe grinding clicking sound when turning and accelerating. Honda told me this was normal when it was brought in for service
Aggressive clicking if wheel is turned greater than 15° off center
The steering started clicking or clunking noise when hard turning left and right at about 9,000 miles. Took to the dealership and they acknowledged being able to easily replicate the problem, inspected for damage, did not see any. They returned the vehicle with no fix as advised by Honda at this moment for this problem. It appears to be a larger problem under investigation and I was told that it has been noted and we will need to wait for a resolution to the issue.
There is a clunking, clicking or ratcheting noise when turning left or right. Reported issue to dealer multiple times. They replaced a CV axle on one side, but shortly after the other the noise came back. Dealer mechanic stated that Honda acknowledges the issue but there is not a fix at this time because spare parts have the same defect.
Clicking coming from Axle when making sharp turns left or right, Took to Honda dealership and was told there is no fix for this issue currently and it would be something i have to live with.
First of all, my Honda app took me a month to get into and sign in due to app issues which are very annoying and when I drive my car and turn the wheel, it makes axel sounds my screen shut off on me. One time I got a high voltage system warning the battery drains out quick. The door hits the other door every time you open driver side
Every time I turn fully left or right there is a clicking, binding type noise. Gos away as steering is straightened. Have not gone to dealer yet because I have heard on Prologue forum web site that it is not being fixed yet, some have been in 3 to 6 times to replace cv axles, but that Honda engineering is working on a fix, ie a newly designed cv axles. Would appreciate any help on speeding up this process.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
