Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“What happens is the brake pedal sinks while the vehicle is in motion. It happens while going forward and in reverse. Slow speeds or highway speeds. When this happens I have no control of the vehicle and cannot stop. I have addressed the issue on multiple occasions to paragon Acura in queens ny and they have done nothing to remedy the issue. They provided a statement to me in august saying that the power braking system is affected by the air conditioning being on as that disrupts the engine vaccum. So I asked so then there's a recall correct and was given a shoulder shrug. …”

“My brake pedal randomly sinks to the floor. I have been close to rear ending the vehicle in front of me due to this issue. My car has been to the Acura dealership on three different occasions complaining of this issue but nothing was ever found. The tech was unable to replicate the issue.”

NHTSA complaint #11706018, filed 2025-12

“Brakes sometimes do not work. Brake pedal is pressed down to the floor with no resistance sometimes. The brakes need to be pumped multiple times in order to stop. This is a huge safety concern and more more serious than any other recall that we’ve had on our vehicles.”

“I am writing to formally raise a concern regarding the handling of a safety recall repair performed on my 2019 Acura ILX at Maus Acura of North Tampa. I initially brought my vehicle in to address a safety recall related to the brake master cylinder. As explained in the recall notice, the issue involved contamination of the brake fluid that could affect braking performance. The dealership proceeded with replacing the brake master cylinder, as expected. …”

NHTSA complaint #11743945, filed 2026-06

“What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - On multiple occasions (at least 6) I was unable to slow down my car using the break, when breaking the pedal would go down but the car would not slow down. I had to re-engage the breaks to slow the car down. This has happened multiple time in different driving environments including when coming off a stop sign stop, leaving a parallel parking spot, exiting a highway exit at 45 miles an hr. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? …”
