Consumer Description

2017 Acura MDX purchased May 2020. Incidences has happened 5 times. Twice this month in July 2021 the brakes engaged! Anxiety and fear of being hit by cars behind. 1st incident:location back road When the brakes engaged the vehicle in front had taken a right turn. The vehicle was cleared from mine so it came as a scare as it stopped in the middle of the road with others behind me honking….. The brakes released and i proceeded driving. 2nd:location back road Again In front a vehicle turned right and the brakes engaged. I hit the gas gently i dont know if that helped to disengage the brakes or not. 3rd: location highway Brakes engaged and immediately released. I was in passing lane and a truck in middle lane ….. this made no sense. 4th: location at intersection Truck turned left across and in front of me, brakes engaged and stopped my car, only to find out a low trailer was being towed. Brakes did help prevent an accident. KUDOS earned here!!!! 5th: location back road speed less than 40mph Vehicle in front of me turning right Again my brakes engaged! Again I used the gas hoping the brakes would disengage. I dont know if it helped or not. Now I ONLY use the cruise control on highways.
