1 Warning problem

Failure Date: 03/29/2026

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.

2 Warning problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2025

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.

3 Warning problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2025

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.

4 Warning problem

Failure Date: 07/03/2025

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.

5 Warning problem

Failure Date: 04/03/2025

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.
