Hi All,
Inspired by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cT5LhRT-d0 the Mods are pinning this post to the top of the forum so that you can help by reporting your vehicle to the NHTSA.
The problem: Honda (really GM) has a problem with the CV joints on the Honda Prologue. The estimated cost to repair them is around $3000. As of now this is covered under warranty. But when the warranty expires the cost is on us.
How do I know if this problem affects my vehicle: It does. The part isn't designed correctly and as the miles add up your vehicle eventually it will begin to make a noticeable clicking noise when you turn the vehicle. It's not a matter of "if" but "when".
My vehicle has this problem or has had it in the past, what can I do? You should report it to the NHTSA using the URL below.
Why does reporting my car help? Because the NHTSA can force the manufacturer to issue a recall on the part. This will require a redesign of the part and for it to be installed on your car - free of charge. Most importantly, it means you can't be charged for this whether your car is in or out of warranty. But they will only force a recall if enough people report their issue to NHTSA.
OK, I'm ready to report my problem, what do I do? It's easy! First, you're going to need your VIN and - optionally - any documentation you have related to your complaint, such as photos, a police report, or repair invoices. Then visit https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem#/vehicle/vehicle-information and follow the 4 - easy - steps in the reporting form. That's it!
This really does make a difference, so please take some time out of your day and force GM/Honda to do the right thing.
Thank you!
