The Lemon Index
Honda Prologue reliability: problems and recalls.
Owners filed 1,006 complaints about the 2024 to 2025 Honda Prologue with the government, most about steering.
No Lemon Index score yet: we don't have reliable sales numbers for this car, so here's what YouTube owners say, next to the raw complaint counts.
YouTube rank and complaints, by model year
YouTube rank: we read 126 YouTube videos about the Honda Prologue and ranked each year with 10 or more videos by how much they praise it vs. how much they talk about problems. It measures tone, not failure rates. Complaints are the raw number owners filed with NHTSA: popular years draw more partly because more were sold, and without usable sales figures we can't turn them into a per-car score.
