NHTSA Complaint #11643151 — 2024 ACURA ZDX

I am submitting this complaint regarding serious safety issues with my vehicle. After a recent 180-mile trip, the car initially functioned without issue during local driving. However, on the morning of February 16, 2025, I encountered multiple warning messages at startup, including "Service Brake Assist," "One Pedal Driving Unavailable, Use Brake for Stopping," and "AUTO HOLD Unavailable." These warnings indicate potential braking system failures, which raise major concerns about the vehicle’s safety and reliability. Additionally, several key safety features became inoperable, including Adaptive Cruise Control and Acura Watch 360 (Supercruise). These features are critical for safe highway driving, and their unexpected failure compromises the vehicle’s performance and driver assistance capabilities. The fact that these systems became nonfunctional without warning creates a hazardous driving condition. Further compounding my concerns, the vehicle emits an electric, clicking sound when the brake pedal is depressed. This noise originates from under the dashboard near the steering column and suggests a possible malfunction in the braking or electronic control systems. Given the nature of these warnings and the potential risk of brake system failure, I am deeply concerned that the vehicle is unsafe to drive. I am seeking immediate resolution and will be bringing the car in for service as soon as possible. I urge the NHTSA to investigate these issues, as they pose a significant risk to drivers, passengers, and others on the road. Please advise on any next steps or potential recalls related to these failures. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
