2024 Acura ZDX problems

My daughter was driving on the freeway when traffic ahead suddenly slowed. The vehicle issued a forward collision warning approximately three seconds before impact, and she immediately attempted to brake. She reported significant brake pedal pulsation and resistance while attempting to stop. Dashcam footage shows the vehicle's displayed speed decreasing from approximately 49 mph to 44 mph before impact. Additionally, the automatic emergency braking system did not appear to intervene as expected. I recently discovered the federal safety agency Engineering Analysis EA26006, an active investigation involving the 2024–2026 Acura ZDX and potential braking system failures, including reduced brake assistance and extended stopping distances.

My Acura’s rearview backup camera has produced a blurry, fuzzy, and distorted image with blind spots and reduced visibility for approximately two years. The problem is especially noticeable in cold weather. I initially took the vehicle to an authorized Acura dealership in [XXX]. The dealership performed a software update and tested the camera but told me it was functioning like the cameras on other ZDX vehicles on its lot. The software update did not correct the problem. I later learned that Acura had issued a safety recall addressing the same rearview camera defect I had been experiencing. In XXX, I contacted Stockton Acura’s service department regarding the recall. They acknowledged the recall but informed me they did not expect to receive the replacement parts needed to complete the repair for the foreseeable future. They could not provide an estimated repair date. This defective camera creates an ongoing safety hazard because I cannot reliably see pedestrians, children, vehicles, or obstacles behind my vehicle while reversing. The problem has persisted despite the dealership’s attempted software update. I am requesting that the federal safety agency investigate this safety defect, the dealership’s initial determination that the camera was operating normally, and Acura’s inability to provide replacement parts or a reasonable repair timeframe. I should not be forced to continue driving with compromised rear visibility indefinitely because the manufacturer cannot provide the necessary recall remedy.

The "shark fin" antenna on the top of the car came off while driving on the highway. I've had no prior issues with it being loose nor did I notice any issues with it being loose when I wash the car. I did not notice it came off until I returned home. The fact that normal highway speeds could cause it to dethatch puts other drivers at risk from the flying debris.

2024 Acura ZDX Type S displayed “Service Brake Assist,” “One-Pedal Driving Unavailable: Use Brake for Stopping,” and “Auto Hold Unavailable” simultaneously at 5995 odometer miles. An electronic ticking or clicking sound occurred from the brake-control area and the vehicle experienced a jerking sensation when coming to a stop. This noise originates from under the dashboard near the steering column and suggests a possible malfunction in the braking or electronic control systems. The warnings cleared after the vehicle was shut down and restarted several times. This VIN previously had DTC C2A22 and brake operating simulator-related warranty repairs but this issue has persisted after being inspected by Acura and confirming that all braking systems systems check out.

I am reporting a prolonged inability to obtain the rearview\-camera safety recall repair for my leased 2024 Acura ZDX, campaign R06, the federal safety agency number 26V\-306\. The recall is dated May 14, 2026\. On July 6, 2026, my husband brought the vehicle to Cerritos Acura for a scheduled recall repair appointment at 8:20 a\.m\. The dealership had sent an appointment reminder\. After he arrived, staff said the replacement part was unavailable and the recall could not be completed\. When he asked why the appointment had been accepted and confirmed without the required part, staff apologized but told him to check with the dealership before coming in the future\. We were not notified of the parts shortage before making the trip\. I am attaching the appointment reminder and service adviser’s message from that visit\. Despite repeated calls to dealerships and Acura Client Relations, we continue to be told that parts are unavailable and that someone will notify us\. As of October 4, 2026, the recall remains incomplete, with no estimated parts\-availability date or repair date\. The recall warns that moisture intrusion can cause a blurry, distorted, or black rearview\-camera image, increasing crash or injury risk\. Acura lists parts as available in limited supply, and CARFAX lists the remedy as available, but we have been unable to obtain the repair\. This complaint concerns the failure to provide the recall repair, not a specific camera failure or crash\. I have also submitted a written complaint to Acura Client Relations\. I request that the federal safety agency review the repair delay and replacement\-parts availability.

I am reporting repeated unintended automatic emergency braking in my 2024 Acura ZDX. The vehicle was leased new on April 9, 2025 and currently has approximately 9,500 miles. The system involved appears to be the Forward Collision Warning/Automatic Emergency Braking system and related braking controls. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. On September 14, 2026, while driving at less than 25 mph, the forward collision warning suddenly activated even though there was no pedestrian, vehicle, or other apparent obstruction requiring emergency braking. Immediately after the warning, the vehicle automatically applied the brakes abruptly. The sudden braking caused the driver to be thrown forward, and she experienced neck pain afterward. This is not an isolated incident. The vehicle has experienced similar unintended collision warnings and/or automatic braking events multiple times and at different speeds, including at higher roadway and freeway speeds. These events create a serious safety risk because sudden, unexpected braking can cause the vehicle to be struck from behind, can cause injury to the occupants, and could potentially cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. The vehicle has been taken to the same authorized Acura dealership at least twice specifically for this unintended braking problem. The dealership has performed software updates or other software-related service in an effort to correct the problem, but the unintended braking has continued. The vehicle has been presented to the dealer multiple times for this specific complaint and repair attempts were made. Acura has now been notified directly of the continuing safety problem and has opened a case. The vehicle is being made available to the Acura dealership again for inspection and diagnosis. There were no warning lamps or messages indicating a malfunction before the most recent event.

The shark-fin antenna housing on my Acura ZDX appears to have a defect in the way it is secured to the vehicle. The housing can separate from the roof during normal vehicle operation, creating a road hazard and potentially striking another vehicle, cyclist, or pedestrian. I reported the issue to Acura, but the company stated that the repair was not covered under warranty. I have found reports from other Acura ZDX and Honda Prologue owners describing the same failure. Although some dealerships have covered the repair, replacing or reattaching the housing does not necessarily correct the underlying design or retention defect. Because this component can detach from a moving vehicle and become a projectile, I believe it presents a legitimate safety risk. I am requesting that this issue be investigated to determine how widespread it is and whether a recall or redesigned attachment method is necessary.
