Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS filed May 30, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2096223 (ODI reference 11663941) concerns a 2024 ACURA ZDX and was filed on May 30, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on May 28, 2025. The report was geocoded to New York based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as forward collision avoidance: warnings, 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 ZDX cohort independently describe similar forward collision avoidance: warnings 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 ACURA ZDX shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
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. How
