Consumer Description

THE 2014 ACURA MDX HAD A SUDDEN INADVERTENT BRAKING ISSUE WITH SIMULTANEOUS VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT ON WHEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THE SCREEN PANEL WAS AUTOMATICALLY SHUT DOWN. I HEARD A DEEP SPARKING SOUND (LIKE A MINOR EXPLOSION SOUND). THIS SITUATION HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE AUTO WAS EITHER RUNNING ON A HIGHWAY (60-70 MILE/HOUR) OR ON THE LOCAL DRIVING (20-40 MILE/HOUR) EVEN WITHOUT ANY VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE MDX. IT SEEMS THAT THE ISSUE HAS NO ANY ASSOCIATION WITH WEATHER CONDITIONS.
