hvac system in car blew up. car turned into flames.
- Unknown or other
When using my HondaLink app, the connection to the vehicle often fails to establish. It reports unknown errors and fails to execute any command, such as unlocking the doors, starting the climate control to preheat the cabin, or starting, monitoring, or stopping the charging cycle. It is so frustrating that I often just give up and walk to the car to physically execute the command the HondaLink app failed to send. Further, the vehicle information is often out of sync, reporting the wrong state of charge, the time it would take to complete a charge cycle, and other details. If I cannot rely on the information the app provides, I feel unsafe. Is the tire pressure correct? Is the app reporting…
- Service brakes
My car will flash âbrake system failureâ and âone pedal drivingâ at least every two days. Itâs very hard to stop the car when this message pops up. Itâll roll pretty fast, in order to stop it I have to slam on the brake pedal and push it to the floor. Turning it off restarts the system but itâs not a fix. the car has gone to Honda but they canât recreate the issue. As of this moment, itâs a month old with 1,000 miles, and the car we transport our family in. Having brake failure this early is very concerning

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. If I had known about this issue before purchasing the vehicle, I believe it would have been treated…

Backing out of parking space when reverse auto braking suddenly deployed with an extremely harsh jolt wirh a whiplash effect. A person was in the distance approx 40 feet behind not close enough to deploy.

The backup camera is useless at night. I think maybe itâs a defective camera but Honda says itâs fine.
- Back over prevention › Warnings
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 crossing behind me from either direction. Conditions were daylight, warm and dry. The electric parking brake did not engage, and no warning message or…
- Forward collision avoidance › Automatic emergency braking
In approximately early August 2026 (exact date not recorded), while driving my 2026 Honda Prologue Touring at approximately 20â30 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 resting lightly on the brake pedal as I approached the crossing, but I did not brake hard â the sudden, forceful braking was initiated by the…
