Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.

I still could drive to my dealer to have it repaired with a black screen, which poses a safety concern. The ZDX was manufactured by GM under the GM platform. I conducted some research and found that this is not uncommon for all GM platform EVs, including Honda and Acura.

While I was outside the vehicle and no one was in the driver’s seat, the vehicle moved backward on its own and struck another car.

At 4100 miles our ZDX started showing the Service Brake Assist system warning, the auto-hold unavailable warning, and the one pedal driving unavailable warning. Took the vehicle to the dealership. Got the car back in 15 days and the problem persists. Dealership says no code was stored, yet the vehicle constantly clicks when the brake pedal is depressed. It also has a jerking sensation when coming to a stop. I'm concerned that there is a braking issue, so I avoid having my family use this vehicle.

My 2024 Acura ZDX has an intermittent braking-related malfunction that causes the vehicle to jerk unexpectedly while slowing or stopping. The problem has occurred in stop-and-go traffic, on hills, and while reversing. The exact cause is UNKNOWN. This creates a serious safety risk because the vehicle does not always respond smoothly or predictably when braking. In traffic, the sudden jerking could cause a rear-end collision or make it difficult to maintain a safe stopping distance. On hills or while reversing, the unpredictable movement could ca…

I am writing to report a serious safety defect in my 2024 Acura ZDX concerning the Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking. The system exhibits hyper-sensitivity, leading to unwarranted and dangerous automatic braking events. On 3/17/25, at approximately 4pm PT, I was driving my Acura ZDX on US 101 at 65 mph. A vehicle in front of me changed lanes into my lane. There was ample space between my vehicle and the vehicle that changed lanes. However, the Automatic Emergency Braking engaged the brakes forcefully, bringing my vehicle t…
