Narrative

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
