2026 Honda Prologue problems & recalls

Sep 27, 2026Unknown or other

I purchased a new Honda EV earlier this month, but after several weeks, the HondaLink App is still not working properly. I have contacted both OnStar and North Honda multiple times. Both have said they completed the required work, but the issue remains unresolved. I also have to follow up every few days instead of receiving proactive updates. HondaLink is very important for EV owners, including vehicle status, location, remote charging, remote climate control, and EV programs such as National Grid home-charging incentives. At this point, I still do not know when this issue will be resolved.…

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.

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.

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 it. I eventually cut the seatbelt to remove my so…
