2024 HONDA PROLOGUE — Complaint #2171398
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING filed January 29, 2026
NHTSA complaint #2171398 (ODI reference 11714343) concerns a 2024 HONDA PROLOGUE and was filed on January 29, 2026. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 17, 2025. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as back over prevention: rearview system braking, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA PROLOGUE cohort independently describe similar back over prevention: rearview system braking failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2024 HONDA PROLOGUE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
Every day when backing out of the driveway the car activates the rear emergency breaks as it âseesâ my neighbors parked truck across the seat. At no point is my car anywhere near th parked truck. Also, the emergency brake activates multiple times.
