This is a safety-related defect involving the multipurpose front camera used for advanced driver-assistance systems (adas) on the 2020 Acura Mdx. The multipurpose front camera failed without warning, resulting in the simultaneous loss of multiple adas safety features, including (but not limited to) lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking, and road departure mitigation. These features are integral to the vehicle’s active safety systems and driver awareness. The failure required full replacement of the front camera assembly. The total repair cost was approximately $2,300, which I was required to pay out of pocket because no recall or extended warranty coverage was available. This failure creates a significant safety concern because: * the loss of adas functions occurred suddenly and without driver fault. * the driver may rely on these systems for collision avoidance, lane control, and adaptive braking. * the vehicle remains drivable, but with materially degraded safety capabilities compared to its certified design. * there is a risk that drivers may not immediately recognize the loss of functionality or may assume partial systems are still operational. After experiencing this issue, I discovered numerous reports from other Acura Mdx owners describing identical multipurpose front camera failures, often at similar mileage, with similarly high repair costs. This suggests a potential systemic defect rather than isolated wear or misuse. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this issue to determine whether this represents a safety-related defect requiring investigation and possible recall. Given the role this component plays in multiple safety systems, I believe this issue warrants formal evaluation.
