“The braking system does not engage properly and is worse in the rain. When adaptive cruise control is on, the car does not slow down at every instance when there is a car in front slowing down. When the car finally realizes there's an object/car in front it then slips before engaging in traction control, which seems to make the car actually slide forward rather than attempting to stop immediately.”Owner report · Service Brakes,Forward Collision Avoidance · Jul 2026

“My husband was driving on a small road and we were going about 25mph when he tapped the brakes the car jumped forward and the brakes did not catch. We lunged forward almost crashing into another car. No warning lights appeared. Driving conditions were normal, dry roads. Brought it into the dealership again for the same issue that we brought it in for less than 30 days ago.”Owner report · Electrical System,Service Brakes · Feb 2026
“Acura TSB 25-033 details how dealerships or independent shops should update the infotainment unit (a11). When followed correctly, the update causes the infotainment unit to fail. This leaves the vehicle with no hands-free safety and GPS functions, in addition to no radio. Acura cannot replace the radio unit, rendering hands-free safety features useless.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Dec 2025
“Was trying to unlock the vehicle but it wouldn’t unlock the doors with the remote. Had to crawl through the trunk to access the car. Got a “door latch system service” maintenance error on the screen after the dealership had “fixed” it. This is a huge safety concern as this car is electric and if it does not unlock from the inside, can cause the passengers to be stuck in the car.”Owner report · Electrical System,Exterior Lighting · Sep 2025
“The contact owns a 2024 Acura ZDX. The contact stated that while driving 35-40 MPH and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal went down to the floorboard, and the vehicle slightly responded, causing the braking distance to be extended and the vehicle drove through the red traffic light before stopping. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving. The dealer was contacted, and an appointment was scheduled for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 11,000.”Owner report · Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Jul 2025
“While moving about 40mph, the emergency brake engaged and it slowed car down significantly. However, there was nothing in front of me. I turned emergency braking off due to this issue. Also, during raining day, when backing out of driveway, car's emergency brakes engaged. This happen twice.”Owner report · Back Over Prevention,Forward Collision Avoidance · Jul 2025
“When backing up the car will slam on its brakes when there is NOTHING behind me. Most of the time it is when I am backing out of my driveway it will do it 2-3 times when nothing is there. It has done it a couple of times backing out of a parking space when nothing is there. I reported this to Acura but they didn’t do anything about it.”Owner report · Service Brakes,Forward Collision Avoidance · Jun 2025
“When hard braking the car doesn’t stop, you can feel the wheels lock up and it slides forward. Some times when stopping at slow speeds the car will lunge forward. I almost hit a car, went in an intersection and one time almost hit a person and I was only going 5-10 mph that time and I hit the brakes and the car slid forward. I am really scared and Acura says they test drove mine and a new one and they both do it so there is nothing wrong with it.”Owner report · Service Brakes · Jun 2025
