2024 ACURA ZDX — Complaint #2114116

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING filed July 25, 2025

NHTSA complaint #2114116 (ODI reference 11676284) concerns a 2024 ACURA ZDX and was filed on July 25, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 16, 2025. The report was geocoded to Pennsylvania based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as forward collision avoidance: automatic emergency braking, 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: automatic emergency braking failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data.

Complaint Description

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 INFORMATI
