Trial-Tested Auto Defect Attorneys Ready to Help You

Owners describe symptoms that can begin at low mileage, persist over time, and sometimes continue even after dealership visits. In addition to owner complaints, manufacturer communications have addressed customer reports of clicking/ratcheting noise during turns and note that the concern may be associated with the drive axles.

What Owners Are Reporting

Across National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) complaints and owner discussions, many drivers describe:

  • A clicking / ratcheting sound when turning left or right;
  • A popping or knocking sound from the front end during tight or low-speed turns;
  • Being told the noise is “normal” or that the vehicle is “safe to drive,” even when the symptom is verified; and/or
  • Difficulty obtaining repairs due to parts backorders or limited repair guidance.

These reports frequently point to the CV joints and/or drive axles as the likely source of the noise, with some owners stating dealerships diagnosed axle/CV joint-related issues and others stating dealerships declined repairs despite confirming the sound.

Why Clicking When Turning May Be a Serious Concern

Even when a vehicle remains drivable, unexplained clicking, popping, or ratcheting noises during turns can indicate a problem with drivetrain components like CV joints or axles—parts that help transmit power to the wheels while steering.

Owners are often concerned because:

  • The symptom can worsen over time;
  • The vehicle may require repeated service visits;
  • Drivers may lose confidence in reliability, especially during daily commuting, family travel, or freeway driving; and/or
  • The issue may reduce vehicle value and create out-of-pocket costs for diagnostics, rental cars, towing, and repeat repairs.

If your Honda Prologue is repeatedly brought in for the same condition, or you are being told the noise is “normal” without a meaningful fix, you should document your experience and consider a legal evaluation from our firm.
