The breaks did not work while in a parking lot right after switching into drive. No major risk of any injury where this occurred. Not reported to the dealer, not inspected. No injury, no property damage. I left my wife in the vehicle with the car in park and went into the store. I came out 15 minutes later, car was running. I got in, put my foot on the break, and switch to drive? The car started rolling forward on its own. I repeatedly tried the breaks, but no response. I had steering. I gave it a little gas, and the engine reved like it was in neutral. I looked down and that point the car indicated it was in neutral. My wife said that none of the drive indicators were on while I had the issue. At some point the breaks started working, after I gave it a little gas? I got the car into drive, and tested it before moving on to verify it was behaving correctly. The forward motion of the vehicle was probably due to the slope it was parked on, rather than the car's idle power. This also matches the car then reporting it was in neutral. The biggest issue was no breaks at the point it started rolling forward. My comment was that was weird, but it scared my wife, so I am reporting it. I was operating the vehicle.

I’ve had this happen 4 times now with my 2019 RDX. The latest Is on 12/10/23. Low speed braking and the tac revels to over 5000. Vehicle lurches forward with both feet on the brake peddle nearly hit a car broadside that was moving perpendicular to me., Three times under warranty to the dealer who could find anything. They even had the factory rep , in who after keeping the car for 5 days replaced an abs sensor. Now that the warranty is up they want 120.00 an hour to diagnose the problem that they couldn’t before .. But this is a dangerous vehicle that.I’m scared to drive. After reviewing several forums this appears to be a know problem Acura won’t address.

Brake hold disengages and the car starts to move forward often. The manual states it should stay engaged for 10 minutes. Car pulls away at stop lights and towards pedestrians and bikers while brake hold is engaged. https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-rdx-problems-fixes-458/brake-hold-issue-977762/

The brake pedal in my car was soft. pressed it and did not stop the car until its almost to the floor. Called acura and they told me there was a tsb as other have had this problem Honda TSB 19-022. the car needed to be reprogramed and fixed the issue. they charged 87.78 for the reprograming. i filled a complaint with honda to get reimbursed case number 12954925. This is a saftey issue and should become a recall before it kills people with the brakes not responding. the rep at honda said thats its a maintenance issue.

Issue with break hold feature. When brake hold button is on car will keep the brake on even when driver releases the petal. In addition the vehicle is defaulted so the engine automatically will shut off when brake petal is pressed all the way down. But often when the HVAC system needs to run it will start the engine while stopped. When this happens the auto brake releases and car starts moving forward. This has happened many times. Vehicle is stationary, brake hold is on, engine auto off is on and sitting at a traffic light. Engine is off but car is turned on. Ac starts which makes engine start, engine starting causes brake to release. The vehicle moves forward. It could crash into another car or run someone over. It happens a lot. Do I need to report each time it happens?

Have had a second occurrence of a brake problem which acura has acknowledge but will not provide a fix date. Only told that it is a known problem but engineers ay it is not a danger. But won't put it in writing so don't believe that it is not unsafe. I need to alert gov safety dept. In event is unsafe & someone is hurt.

Driving vehicle est 40mph, straight road city right lane. Car ahead of me (est 2 + car length) turned right,and was no longer on the road I was driving, my vehicle slowed down. I did not press brakes or change drive to neutral. There was no input from me to change vehicle speed. "space reserved" bars use radar to keep designated space. There were no bars for a safety margin. No lights or indicators display on dashboard for reason of deceleration. Normally if I am close to a person who is turning off the road, sensors may detect than and flash brake on the dashboard. This same braking when a person turned has occurred when I was in the left lane city road westbound .that vehicle was approaching me, a 4 lane wide street. I was on the left lane of my divide, the other vehicle was in the right line of their divide eastbound. That opposite vehicle was turning right, my car slowed down although the other car was twice as far away compared to the right-turn complaint above. No input from me, no dashboard warnings, too far away to be considered a safety issue. Another occurrence: was driving straight, est 20mph city road.. Came towards a small dip in the road, est 3' wide, shallow. No vehicles on road. Car slowed down, no indications. I stepped on the gas, no response. Pressed drive button, no response. After getting over the dip, I pulled to the side of the road. Turned car off and restarted, drove correctly after that. Used same road to come back, car handled dip in road appropriately. Summertime drive. Separate issue: brakes are squealing when I drive car at low speeds. City roads, varied speed limits; 25mph to 40mph. Reversing out of parking, press brakes, squeal. Drive to stop sign, squeal. Drive from that stop sign in straight line, city road, come to stop sign, does not squeal. Environments are different; using vehicle in -15f temp up to 85, 90f.
