Im not sure what fails but the car wont start after coming to a stop with the auto off function and almost caused an accident because when the light turned green I couldnt take off because the car didnt start up and the car behind me almost hit me. It has happened other times at stop signs and any other stop ive made. I have to press the button my self to start up again. I havent had it inspected because I havent had any time. There are no warning lights on.

The vehicle's dash states the following are malfunctioning: road departure mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, auto high beam, collision mitigation system, and lane keeping assist. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. A few days prior to this message appearing on the dash, the car flashed and beeped that I needed to brake when there wasn't anything in front of me while driving. The car automatically braked without me doing anything. There weren't any vehicles behind me in that specific moment. With how sudden the car braked, this could have caused a collision. This vehicle has been repaired by the dealership where it was purchased, for this exact issue. The first sign of sensors malfunctioning was in January 2022 (I purchased the vehicle in June 2021). I have taken the vehicle to the dealership for repairs 3 times in relation to sensor malfunction and for replacement of rear actuators, which is stated in the service repair summaries. Since the last repair in 2023, the same problem has occurred once again. This latest incident has included the automatic braking without any objects in front of the vehicle. I have not driven the vehicle in two days due to this safety concern.

2019 Acura Tlx 28k miles - was slowing pulling into a parking spot in a parking garage downtown san diego. Suddenly the car had no brakes while pressing the brake pedal to the floor with no resistance from the brakes, the car start revving hard and accelerating very fast. I stopped by hitting a brick barrier. Steering wheel and knee airbags deployed. Fortunately I arrived at work early that day and did not hit anyone or any other cars. Our insurance company usaa said they can not repair the car. The automatic emergency equipment did not kick in either. Acura was advised of the issue case number [xxx]. Fortunately my injuries were minor cuts and bruising but if this incident had happened somewhere else it could have resulted in loss of life. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

This is the four time this happened to me in this vehicle. I was driving down ellsworth street in south philadelphia. I had a baby in the back with a car seat and a 8 year old in the front seat. And all of a sudden the warning light started flashing break break and than the breaks slammed on. This happened for about 3-5 seconds, until the car stop. Thank god no cars were driving behind me or they would have ran into the back of my vehicle.

My wife and I were on the first day of vacation, driving from virginia to FL by way of SC. Around 1pm I was driving the car on interstate 20 west in south carolina near bishopville. There were no cars in my lane in front of me and the car suddenly activated what Acura refers to as the cmbs system. The purpose of this is to stop us if it thinks we are going to run into another vehicle. I'm not 100% sure but I think this is related to the adaptive cruise control. We had not used cruise control that day because traffic on rt 95 south was extremely heavy. We had finally turned off on rt 20 and traffic wasn't as heavy so we felt we could safely use the cruise control. We were traveling at about 73 mph and the car suddenly started hard braking. It was flashing brake in big letters in the dash. There was another vehicle behind so I kept pushing on the gas pedal to keep going but the car literally would not release the brakes. The vehicle from behind hit us. There is a video cam in my car so I have a video that shows the car traveling smoothly then all at once bouncing and jerking as it keeps applying the brakes. We also have photos of the front of the car showing that the cameras that this system uses were clear and unobstructed. The other driver was charged but it was absolutely the fault of the Acura for this malfunction. Acura roadside assistance tried to tell us how to disable this system but the info they provided was for another year model and didn't work. We went on youtube and found the correct information and have disabled this system. There were other videos on youtube describing this exact issue with this system failure with Acura vehicles. We have also filed a report with Acura customer care. It is case #13572501. We have also reported this to our insurance company (travelers) and to state farm, the company that is handling the claim for repair. The state farm claim # is 4043t623v.

On two occasions the collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) has improperly activated with hard braking leaving me fighting for control. On one occasion, I was driving at 35 mph on a divided boulevard in my home subdivision with no vehicles in sight. The second occasion occurred on the florida turnpike at 75 mph while in the outside lane. There was no vehicle in front of me or to the side at that time. That was a scary moment. I want to emphasize that the cmbs employed hard braking along with the flashing dash warning. After each instance I took the vehicle to an Acura dealer. First to fountain Acura in orlando who could find no dtc codes and blew me off by telling me it was my e-pass transponder and window tint that caused the problem. That was utter nonsense. The second time I took the vehicle to autonation Acura north orlando where I had purchased the vehicle as certified pre-owned (cpo) in April of 2022. They took my concern seriously, provided a loaner and kept the vehicle for four days. They also were unable to duplicate the issue and could find no dtc codes. They called Honda’s “tech line” and told me that same nonsense about tint and transponders. This “washing of hands” rather than taking ownership of this life-threatening problem made me start looking for others with the same issue. No surprise, I found 103 other Acura 2021 Tlxs as well as rdxs and Honda models with NHTSA complaints for the same exact experience I had. Is ahm’s “tech line” telling all owners it is their fault for the improper activation of the cmbs? it seems to me that a change in the cmbs triggering algorithm needs to be made otherwise the more vehicles with the defective algorithm the more crashes will occur. This improper activation seems unique to 2021 vehicles. Nhtsa records currently show no similar complaints for 2020, 2022, or 2023 model year vehicles.
