NHTSA Complaint #11302189 — 2017 ACURA MDX

THE NOISE VOLUME OF THE ADVANCED SAFETY TECHNOLOGY, SUCH AS LANE DEPARTURE WARNING AND BLIND SPOT INFORMATION, DOES NOT CHANGE WITH INCREASED VEHICLE SPEED NOR WITH INCREASED RADIO VOLUME. THEREFORE, THE TECHNOLOGY IS NOT AUDIBLE UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS AT A STOP OR AT LOW SPEED OR IF THE RADIO IS OFF. THIS RENDERS THE TECHNOLOGY USELESS DURING MOST VEHICLE TRIPS. THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT NO RESOLUTION WAS GIVEN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS DRIVERS WHO MAY RELY ON THIS TECHNOLOGY MAY NOT BE AWARE THAT THE TECHNOLOGY IS ACTIVATED WHEN THEY CANNOT HEAR IT.
