Warning problems of the 2017 Acura MDX

I am reporting a major safety failure on my 2017 Acura Mdx regarding the forward-facing multipurpose camera. Out of nowhere, the camera failed and triggered a cascade of warning lights across my entire dashboard. Because of this hardware defect, all of the critical safety systems—including the collision mitigation braking system (cmbs), lane keeping assist (lkas), and adaptive cruise control—are now completely disabled. Having these emergency systems shut down while driving in traffic is a serious safety hazard. Furthermore, the constant flashing of 5 or 6 different warning lights on the dash is a massive distraction while trying to operate the vehicle. This is a well-documented hardware failure in these models, and it shouldn't be left to the owners to pay thousands of dollars to fix a primary safety component that failed prematurely. This needs to be investigated as a mandatory safety recall before these failures lead to an accident.

Blind spot warning, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keep assistance, and high beam lights keep flashing on dash giving a code u3000-49. The dealership quoted me $2000 to fix a faulty front facing camera. Research shows this is happening to thousands of people.

The camera keep going online/offline in a middle of a highway while I'm on cruise control lkas, acc, camera, and ect warning lights keep coming on.

The front lane assist camera has failed internally and now the lane assist, forward collision and adaptive cruise control no longer work. This has been a known issue and has happened to other Acura Mdxs. The warning lights are now coming on saying the vehicle had a brake system error. It also states that all systems related to this camera are inoperable.

The multipurpose front camera on my 2017 Acura Mdx failed with dtc u3000?49, disabling lkas, acc, cmbs, and fcw. Acura issued service bulletin 23?008 acknowledging a software defect, but my VIN was denied eligibility despite matching the bulletin’s criteria. This is a safety?critical failure affecting many owners, and Acura is forcing consumers to pay for camera replacement instead of providing the software fix. My 2017 Acura Mdx (VIN [xxx] ) is experiencing a failure of the multipurpose front camera, which controls several collision?avoidance systems including: lane keeping assist system (lkas) adaptive cruise control (acc) collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) forward collision warning (fcw) all of these systems became disabled, and the vehicle displays multiple warning lights. The diagnostic code stored is u3000?49 (fcw/ldw camera unit malfunction). Acura issued service bulletin 23?008, which states that: “a problem exists with the detection logic in the multipurpose camera software. ” the bulletin applies to all 2017–2018 Acura Mdx trims, and the corrective action is a software update to the camera module. My vehicle matches the exact symptoms described in the bulletin. However, Acura and the dealership informed me that my VIN is “not eligible” for the update, even though the bulletin explicitly lists my model year and trim. Instead, I was told I must pay for a full camera replacement, costing over $1,200, despite Acura acknowledging the issue is software?related. This leaves me with a disabled safety system and no manufacturer?supported remedy. The failure is widespread among 2017 Mdx owners, and many report identical symptoms and identical denials of coverage. Because this defect disables multiple federally relevant safety systems simultaneously, I believe this should be treated as a safety recall, not a customer?paid repair. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue and require Acura to provide the software update. Thank you. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information a.

My vehicle intermittently fails to go into "drive" when pressing the gear shift button. Additionally, various warning messages appear at random, including: lane keeping assist problem, & road departure mitigation system problem. I have brought my vehicle to dch montclair Acura#709, located at 100 bloomfield Ave, verona, NJ 07044, on January 10, 2025, February 18, 2025, and March 13, 2025. Despite these visits and an inspection conducted by my extended warranty provider, the problem continues. On [xxx], while my daughter was a passenger, the vehicle once again failed to shift into drive when pressing the "d" button. This incident, like others before it, occurred without warning and reinforces my growing concern about the safety and reliability of the vehicle. I am now afraid to drive the car, unsure when it might fail again. I respectfully request that Acura take immediate and decisive action to investigate and resolve this issue. If a reliable repair cannot be made, I would like to discuss alternative remedies such as vehicle replacement of buyback under applicable warranties and safety protections.
