While driving downhill a car approx 1000 feet ahead of me was slowing down to turn right while the car was still turning but completely out of the intersection the automatic brakes came on and came to a complete stop. The car that turned right was down the street it had turned on completely out of sensor range and the automatic brakes would not let off, when trying to accelerate it got stuck in gear but would not budge. Like when you dont shift a gear for too long in a stick shift car. Finally the brakes let off and I was able to drive but further down the same hill the automatic brakes did the same thing again while trying to accelerate to change lanes, there was not a single car infront of me at this point and no reason for the automatic brakes to do this. Both incidents almost caused me to be rear ended.

Recently faced a situation where I was traveling on a freeway @ 65-70 mph and suddenly SUV flashed a fcw( forward collision warning system) . I had to apply the brakes in the middle of the freeway fearing an accident. It may have caused us to to go into a crash with a cars coming from behind . Nhtsa has to look into this feature. There is some problem with the sensors of fcw.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Acura Mdx. The contact stated that upon using the cruise control feature, if a vehicle slowed down in speed and the system functioned but if a large sized truck was near the vehicle the sensor caused the vehicle to drastically reduce highway speeds to a low rate of speed less than 20 mph. The contact experienced the failure more than three times in which the vehicle suddenly reduced speeds. The contact was not included in NHTSA campaign id number: 15v301000 (forward collision avoidance). The vehicle was to be taken to an authorized dealer for further inspection and diagnosis. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 18,000. Dyd.

The contact owns a 2005 Acura Mdx. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph, he heard a grinding noise and the vehicle pulled to the passenger¿s side and decelerated independently. The contact stated that the failure recurred the following day while driving 45 mph. After a third failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to the dealer. The contact stated that NHTSA campaign number: 13v092000 (service brakes, hydraulic, traction control system) was previously done on the vehicle. After the repairs were completed, the tpms , vsa, and traction control lights illuminated then the failure recurred.

I was driving my car going about 40 mph when suddenly I lost the ability to steer the car, stop the car, accelerate and cut on my blinkers. Nothing in the car worked. I was desperate to get out of the traffic flow when the car suddenly jerked back on. It did this off and on as I took it to the dealership. Once there they stated that the battery was the issue. Battery was replaced. Various internal components of the car started to fall apart (seat belts, airbags, car lights, car key, window sensors, door locks, alarm, navigation). For a time the car drove but with very stiff handling. Car was taken in for an issue that sounded like a whirring sound at start-up. Everything was replaced to fix the issue with the service technician doing a hail mary attempt at offering resolve. I finally received my car back two weeks later. Then here we go again, I am on the freeway with a brand new battery installed by Acura when everything powers off yet again. Car even braked itself and I saw my life flash before my eyes. I was on the freeway going about 70 mph when this occurred and traffic flow was thick. I took my car to Acura and currently they have had it for over a week. They tell me it is my battery again which they will replace for free but they want to keep for further testing. I work from home and drive my car extended distances when needed and I need reliable transportation. This car is proving unreliable. I am not getting straight answers from anyone and in 4 years I have replaced my battery 3 times! I park in the garage! this is a serious safety concern. I may not be so lucky the next time the power goes out on the car and everything stops working! I see this concern is not an isolated incident and I need help!.

The issue at hand regarding the vsa (vehicle stability) for which a recall had already been issued. My vehicle was taken in and received the recall. This however did not resolve the issue which is a serious issue many others I have spoken with face. The "yaw rate sensor" malfunctions causing similar but more dangerous situations than the "wiring harness" Acura claims to have resolved the vsa issue. There is a loud grinding noise, the left front tire seems to brake very hard pulling my vehicle into oncoming traffic and nearly flipping the vehicle the on 7/28/15 at 65 mph. The situation is extreme as others are experiencing. It is not a brief and non drastic pull. If both hands are not on the wheel at the time of malfunction the vehicle may very well flip over. I took my vehicle into the dealership explaining the issue figuring the issue was linked to the recall; however, it is not. The yaw rate sensor is causing my car to think I'm spinning out which immediately stops sending power to the front left tire causing my car to veer hard to the left. They wanted $75 for an inspection as well as $1200 to resolve the issue. This seems like an extremely dangerous issue for there not to be a recall. Please look into other who have experienced the issue.
