All Forward Collision Avoidance Warnings Complaints

On multiple occasions the alert for either the forward or rear collision warning system will sound with nothing either in front of or behind the vehicle. In these cases, the car automatically braked and brought the car to a stop in the middle of my driving. The component is not available for inspection. This puts myself and others at risk by completely overriding my ability to control the vehicle until I am able to put the car back in gear and begin moving again. It completely immobilizes the car for several seconds. It is also a safety hazard because I have been forced to turn off the automatic braking for both the front and rear collision warning systems. This problem has not been confirmed by the dealer, nor have any of the parts been inspected by those listed above. There were no warnings or messages before the problem began.

While driving the car this evening, following a day of driving, the info tainment and dashboard screens went blank while on the highway. Pulled off at the first exit (30 miles down the road or so). Tried: - turning car off and on - turning off, opening drivers door for one minute, closing and restarting - the same, but waiting 5 min after opening and closing door - the same, but the using the remote lock to lock the car after closing the drivers door - holding down the radio power button for up to 2 min Drive finished by foijf slowly on local roads. No speed information. No warnings systems available.

When driving with the adaptive cruise control on, the Prologue throws out an alert after it suddenly disengages the cruise control that states that the forward camera is blocked and the cruise control will disengage. The cruise control also fails to notice cars in front of the Prologue and will speed up, then will suddenly "see" the car, jam on the breaks, then the accelerator again. Also, the adaptive cruise control cannot gauge distance between cars and all following distances set for the car, whether 1, 2, or 3, are exactly the same. This has been reproduced for the dealer and confirmed as an issue with this Prologue. The dealer then shrugged and said there were no fixes from Honda yet, so there was nothing they could do. This is a huge safety issue because a sudden deceleration at highway speeds has nearly caused a half dozen accidents in the...

Forward collision warning either does not work at all or is too sensitive. When demonstrated for the dealership, the warning went off while in park for a potted plant more than 10 ft away, then did not go off again no matter how close the Prologue was moved towards an object nor what speed we were moving, until it suddenly went off as we approached a cross street, alerting to a car that was almost through the intersection before we approached it. The dealership did confirm that the system did not work on the Prologue. Then they shrugged and said that Honda had not issued a fix for the problem. This is a safety issue because it is part of the safety system and it does not work.

the automatic emergency braking system in both forward and reverse is to sensitive and violently slams the brakes when there is no risk of a collision. the most recent incident involved making a left hand turn where there was a little overpass wall on the passenger side of the street i was turning onto. with cars behind me the vehicle slammed the brakes as i was going approx 10-15MPH , startling myself and all 3 passengers and almost causing me to be rear ended. the vehicle also slams the brakes in reverse when there are no objects in the way predominately if it is raining out. it's a harsh violent stop and can cause an accident or injury. due to this incident the vehicle is back at the dealership for a total of 3 appointments and 32 days in repair for this issue and they still have not remedied the...

1. Parking sensors will go off at the most random times. The most common is when I’m at a standstill at a traffic light and the front parking sensors will start beeping as if I am as close as possible or about to hit an o next in front of me. 2. Rear parking sensors consistently alert and beep when there is nothing behind me. For instance I was backing out of a parking spot with no cross traffic or anything behind me. As I was trying to back out it slammed the breaks and came to a sudden stop. It did this again until I pulled the car back into the parking spot and backed out again. This will also happen when I am backing the car into and out of my garage. I don’t have anything beside me or within the guide lines but it will out of...

Forward collision warning system activated Automatic Emergency Braking system and brought car to an immediate stop. This has happened multiple times for no reason. Sometimes it will activate on a street with no other vehicles, today it almost got me rear-ended in traffic.

1. Infotainment system completely shuts off at random moments and not form of reset will bring them to work again. 2. Forward Collision Warning: Will sound at times even if there is absolutely nothing ahead of you. 3. Lane departure is not always “available at this time”.

cuando obtuve el vehiculo a los 5 meses comenso con un golpeteo al girar el volante lo lleve al consecionario y me dijeron que tenia que cambiarle una pieza pero que no la tenian que tocaba esperar un tiempo. pregunte si no habia ningun problema y me dijeron que no que podia seguir conduciendo asi el vehiculo. yo lo lleve en el mes de enero y hasta el mes de abril me llamaron para decirme que la pieza habia llegado. esto me puso en riesgo porque ese golpe cada vez es mas fuerte. alguien externo me dijo que eso era muy peligroso andar asi porque me puedo quedar sin direccion en cualquier momento. el vehiculo nunca me dio una luz de advertencia.mi segungo problema es que cuando voy conduciendo el vehiculo frena bruscamente como si detectara algo en la carretera este es muy sensible y me parese peligroso porque si...

While sitting idle at a traffic light, my forward collision notification beeped in spite of my Honda Prologue and the vehicle in front of me being completely still. Otherwise, no movement was taking place in front of my car. I captured this on camera during an incident when this occurred briefly. I would be happy for Honda to inspect this. I haven’t reported this to anyone else at this point. No other warning lights or messages indicated this could be a problem. This failure of my forward collision warning system has occurred about 50 times since purchasing this Prologue in late December of last year (over about 7,500 miles). At times, the beeping won’t stop unless I put the car in park. I learned the locations of the sensors behind the rear-view mirror and on the bumper. I cleaned the outer surfaces off to no effect.

Where to begin? not even 2 weeks after having this vehicle it nearly caused a major accident and gave me whiplash & neck problems (have doctors documentation as proof) when the automatic breaking system hard breaked my vehicle twice in the same trip (20 minutes from work to home) with the second time resulting in my car skidding quite a few feet on a highway in the middle of rush hour traffic (want to note the distance in front of the car was quite significant both times) also both CV joint axles need replacing on top of rear passenger door is not the right size & often pops open. Honda dealership has my vehicle for 31 days back in December January stating parts for door would be in within the month and the cv axle would be beginning of march. here it is March 26th and I've heard nothing from...

All ADAS systems have to be turned off. Even if switched to alert only the vehicle will randomly break very hard while driving. Also will randomly not allow you to back out of your garage. Or when raining will not allow you back up.

I've had to turn off all the safety features in my car on multiple occasions. I nearly got hit by several cars turning into driveways because the car's sensors detected a vehicle on the driveway. Additionally, the sensors mistakenly detected another car pulling out of a shopping center, which caused heavy brake locking. This has even happened to me twice on the freeway. When I mentioned this to the service manager, he laughed and said, "I know what you're talking about. I have one too, and it happens to me as well. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it except turn off the sensors." And be careful with your neck the ways brakes lock in

I have had my prologue for about two months now and have noticed that I receive a warning about reduced acceleration "randomly." I say “randomly” because I’ve observed that it appears during two specific situations. I get that warning whenever I’m low (less than 20%), so this is not random as it seems consistent. The other time this occurs is when I am driving or just starting my car (the battery percentage doesn’t matter, as it happens when it’s between 30% and 80%. Also, it happens when the temperature is below and above freezing). However, the latter situation occurs randomly and seems to happen more frequently while driving, though it also occurs when I am just starting the car. On top of that, the Forward Collision Warning system is extremely sensitive and has caused the car to brake hard unnecessarily on me with and without Adaptive Cruise Control enabled. Sometimes...

While approaching a red light on a busy road the forward alert triggered and auto breaking was engaged with no vehicle in front. Almost resulted in an accident. Had the light not been red other cars near me may not have been breaking.

when turn i hear a clicking sound dealer technician acknowledges sound but refuses to repair. forward collision system sees things that are not there and slams on the brakes for no reason. hvac system fails to heat until after driving for at least 45 minutes even after pre heating.

Unknown braking while no objects in front or behind the car. Warns lane departure too late after you crossed halfway through the lane.
#11638500 |
The automatic emergency braking (AEB) system or collision avoidance feature in my 2024 Honda Prologue has malfunctioned. The car abruptly applies the brakes when backing out of my driveway, and also engages when driving forward and getting too close to other vehicles or when changing lanes, even when there’s sufficient space. The braking is sudden and forceful, making it difficult to control the vehicle. This issue poses a serious safety risk, as the car’s automatic braking can cause me to be rear-ended by vehicles behind me when stopping unexpectedly. The system may also cause a collision when changing lanes, as the sudden deceleration could lead to a crash. The problem occurs consistently, and can be reproduced each time I back out of the driveway, approach a vehicle too closely, or change lanes. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, dealer, or insurance, and I have not yet brought...

On multiple occasions the forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking have engaged when there is nothing in the lane. On one occasion, the system engaged brakes very hard - which I can only assume was triggered by a pedestrian on a nearby sidewalk. I was traveling 30mph and the vehicle came to an abrubt stop. Traffic behind me was then also forced to slam on their brakes and I feel this could have easily lead to a collision if the driver behind had not been attentive. On another case the vehicle engaged brakes while traveling at 60mph on a two lane highway. I was traveling straight, approaching a rightward bend in the road. My steering wheel was still straight ahead because I had not yet reached the turn. Meanwhile a vehicle was coming the opposite direction around the bend. I believe the system engaged because I was steering straight...

I got the high voltage battery warning error on my dashboard after one random night of charging. The error doesn’t go away after 3 days and at times, the vehicle could not charge. I contacted my salesman and he suggested a hard reset which involved turning off the car and keeping the car fobs at least 20ft away, which worked. However I’m still concerned there is an issue with the battery. The memory seat setting doesn’t connect to the profiles. It randomly picks between 1 and 2 whenever the car turns on. Guest profiles can’t have their name saved unless their Google account is connected. The speaker rattles when volume is higher than 20%. There’s a knocking/clicking sound whenever I steer left or right. I called the dealership on 1/22/25 but was told it is not an issue. The vehicle has about 800mi on it. Front and rear collision warning...

Received multiple alerts including "service high voltage system", "service vehicle soon", and "cannot charge". The vehicle also reduced speed and function, which could have resulted in reduced driver safety. Vehicle will be brought in for service to determine cause.

While driving on the highway with no one in front of me, the car unexpectedly slams on the brakes. This issue consistently happens at a specific part of the highway where there is oncoming traffic and a slight incline. It seems like the sensors may need to be reconfigured. Additionally, when backing out of my driveway, the car struggles with snow or ice. It mistakenly detects an object behind me and automatically applies the brakes. To override this, I have to hold the gas pedal. It also doesn’t handle ice reflections well.

The car had an error with a front safety camera, the car stopped in the middle of an intersection and I had to coast into the nearest parking lot. The error cleared it self but Honda was of no help. The dealers do not know how to fix the cars.

Vehicle abbrupted stops when driving with the front collision on. I drive up the same hill everyday and when slightly turning left along a curve going up hill, and if there is a parked car present on the right side of the road, the car will abruptedly stop. If I slow down to less than 20 mph, the car won't stop, but doesn't seem like it should happen at normal driving speeds.

The automatic emergency front collision warning system is extremely sensitive and will warn you to break incessantly. Sometimes it is because the sun is shining brightly on it sometimes it’s when a car is parked and you are passing it. This poses a safety threat because I could break unexpectedly and cause someone to rear end me The incessant warning light is extremely

The warning system is over-sensitive. Front Collision Warning - The forward collision warning randomly comes on while driving. Once, I was coming to a stop and at least two car lengths away when the system alerted me. Another time, I was driving down the road, and no one was in front of me when the system came on. This is a safety issue to both the driver, passengers, and others on the road because if the car thinks it's too close when it's not, it could violently and abruptly stop, thus causing other vehicles around the driver to crash, too! Rear Cross Traffic Warning - When backing up, the system violently stops the car and throws it into park mode, and there is nothing behind the vehicle. It will do it three times if you try to put it in reverse after being violently stopped. This happens all the time....

The forward collision sensor failed to work after 2500 miles, disabling my ability to use adaptive cruise control. I've thoroughly cleaned the area where the two sensors are and it made no difference.

The Automatic Emergency Braking system engages without any apparent reason leading to a very dangerous situation since the vehicle abruptly makes a hard stop. This is a real road safety issue.

Specifically, I have encountered recurring problems with the vehicle's automatic braking system, as well as issues with the Honda Prologue app, both of which I believe compromise the vehicle's safety and performance. 
The vehicle's automatic braking system appears to be malfunctioning, as it has activated unexpectedly on multiple occasions, leading to near-miss accidents. On at least three occasions, the vehicle’s brakes have engaged without cause, even in situations where there is no obstruction or “phantom” vehicle detected. This automatic braking has not only been inappropriate but also posed a significant safety risk to both myself and other road users. The reverse braking system exhibits similar issues, activating without cause. Despite the alerts being on and the brakes not being engaged, the system’s warning signals still activate, leading to further confusion and potential danger. I have consulted with both the dealership and the Prologue forum, and it has been confirmed that...

Brake system failure happened the day after I bought the vehicle and the dealer found no issues or errors than another brake failure occurred in one week. This could have caused a major accident to a point where my safety is in fear
