SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
On Wednesday, [XXX], I was driving near an intersection. There was a vehicle in front of me; however, they were accelerating as was I and at approximately the same speed. For no apparent reason, the automatic emergency braking activated and slammed on the brakes for absolutely no reason. This not only scared myself, but my [XXX] daughter in the back seat, and we almost were rear-ended by the car behind us. It was almost as if I was "brake-checking" the person. Both my daughter and I complained of neck pain (almost felt like whiplash) as well as a headache following this incident. There was absolutely no warning that this was going to happen. There were no messages, lights, or any other issues at the time. While this incident has only happened one time, it has happened one time when the vehicle has less than 3,000 miles on. This can quickly become an issue of someone getting rear-ended, or potentially even a road rage situation. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
When hard braking the car doesn’t stop, you can feel the wheels lock up and it slides forward. Some times when stopping at slow speeds the car will lunge forward. I almost hit a car, went in an intersection and one time almost hit a person and I was only going 5-10 mph that time and I hit the brakes and the car slid forward. I am really scared and Acura says they test drove mine and a new one and they both do it so there is nothing wrong with it.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
The forward collision warning and forward collision braking malfunctioned several times triggering false warnings and unnecessary hard braking. My safety was put at risk because the vehicle came to an abrupt, violent stop while in traffic and applied the parking brake. This action not only caused items in my vehicle (e.g., phone, water bottle, sunglasses) to fly to the front of the car and land in the footwells, but also hurt my neck and head from the severe and harsh movement. Additionally, this sudden unpredictable full stop creates a very high risk of the vehicle following me rear ending my vehicle, resulting in further injury and property damage. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a service center as I have not had time to bring the vehicle in for service yet. The vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. There were not any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. However, the emergency brake warning has triggered several times without activating the brakes.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
The automatic rear braking system on my 2024 Acura ZDX engages unexpectedly and without cause. It happens regularly when reversing, even though there are no obstacles, people, or vehicles behind the car. The sudden braking is jarring and creates a real safety concern, especially in traffic or tight spaces. I took the vehicle to my local Acura dealership, but they had no information or guidance on the issue. Despite this, many other ZDX owners are reporting the exact same problem on forums like Reddit, AcuraZine, and Facebook groups. This is clearly not an isolated incident and should be investigated immediately. The system is too aggressive and unreliable in its current state. It poses a risk of causing accidents or injuries. Acura must address this issue with a software update or recall before someone gets hurt.

On several occasions the car will violently stop as if we have crashed into something but there is nothing there. There is no warning before this happens even though we have the alert setting turned on. This has happened while we are reversing and moving forward. This puts us (driver and passengers) at risk because it is such a sudden and violent stop that it hurts our bodies (neck/back) and it is very stressful. It has not been reproduced or confirmed by the dealership yet

Potential Consequences:
The following diagnostic tip was issued by the NHTSA for the Cadillac Lyriq (same vehicle as Acura ZDX): PIC6537A The Acura ZDX has the same issue and there are multiple forum posts online. However Acura dealers are claiming there is no bulletin / fix from Acura. The AC compress which also functions as a heat pump vibrates and shakes the entire vehicle. This system may be responsible for battery temps as well, Im not sure. If that is the case it is very important so battery temps are regulated and fires don't happen.

Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Potential Consequences:
I am writing to report a serious safety defect in my 2024 Acura ZDX concerning the Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking. The system exhibits hyper-sensitivity, leading to unwarranted and dangerous automatic braking events. On 3/17/25, at approximately 4pm PT, I was driving my Acura ZDX on US 101 at 65 mph. A vehicle in front of me changed lanes into my lane. There was ample space between my vehicle and the vehicle that changed lanes. However, the Automatic Emergency Braking engaged the brakes forcefully, bringing my vehicle to a complete stop in the middle of the freeway. The vehicle essentially stalled for approximately 5-10 seconds, and I was unable to accelerate or move forward during this time. This created a highly dangerous situation, as I was vulnerable to being rear-ended by oncoming traffic. This incident occurred even though I had disabled the Forward Collision Mitigation System through the vehicle's settings. The system's behavior indicates a severe malfunction or design flaw, as it overrides the driver's intent and poses a significant safety risk. The fact that the system engaged the brakes when it was supposed to be disabled is very concerning. This hyper-sensitivity and the inability to fully disable the Emergency Braking System are critical safety issues that could lead to serious accidents, injuries, or fatalities. I request that the NHTSA investigate this matter immediately.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
I am submitting this complaint regarding serious safety issues with my vehicle. After a recent 180-mile trip, the car initially functioned without issue during local driving. However, on the morning of February 16, 2025, I encountered multiple warning messages at startup, including "Service Brake Assist," "One Pedal Driving Unavailable, Use Brake for Stopping," and "AUTO HOLD Unavailable." These warnings indicate potential braking system failures, which raise major concerns about the vehicle’s safety and reliability. Additionally, several key safety features became inoperable, including Adaptive Cruise Control and Acura Watch 360 (Supercruise). These features are critical for safe highway driving, and their unexpected failure compromises the vehicle’s performance and driver assistance capabilities. The fact that these systems became nonfunctional without warning creates a hazardous driving condition. Further compounding my concerns, the vehicle emits an electric, clicking sound when the brake pedal is depressed. This noise originates from under the dashboard near the steering column and suggests a possible malfunction in the braking or electronic control systems. Given the nature of these warnings and the potential risk of brake system failure, I am deeply concerned that the vehicle is unsafe to drive. I am seeking immediate resolution and will be bringing the car in for service as soon as possible. I urge the NHTSA to investigate these issues, as they pose a significant risk to drivers, passengers, and others on the road. Please advise on any next steps or potential recalls related to these failures. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
