2018 ACURA MDX — Complaint #2008896
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA filed July 19, 2024
NHTSA complaint #2008896 (ODI reference 11603305) concerns a 2018 ACURA MDX and was filed on July 19, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 10, 2024. The report was geocoded to Hawaii based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as forward collision avoidance: sensing system: camera, 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 ACURA MDX cohort independently describe similar forward collision avoidance: sensing system: camera 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 2018 ACURA MDX shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I can't drive the vehicle safe with the entire gauge cluster indicators are all on. Cluster making loud beeps and noises not being able to shut or clear the code indicators. The acura dealership is saying the camera is overheating and not safe to drive.
