“Sua incident. I slowly entered underground parking garage with brakes on, turned into parking stall (brakes on) and vehicle suddenly, rapidly accelerated, over riding brakes and crashed head on into cement wall causing airbag to deploy. Over $9000.00 in damage was done to the vehicle. Witness behind me testified that I was going very slowly and the brake lights were on from the time I entered the parking garage to the time of the crash.”

NHTSA complaint #10468812, filed 2012-08, 68,994 miles

“I had two events. One while driving at 20 MPH in my neighborhood and straight line driving and car suddenly accelerated. I threw car in neutral and stepped on gas hard for a second and cancelation stopped. Then five minutes later, while making a left turn, same exact event took place. I did the same thing. I had the brakes on hard and no stopping car. First time car has done this and I am only driver for six years. Brought to Acura and they sent a corporate mechanic to check and said they found nothing. Just got car back. A little scary.”

“During a routine tire roataion on my 2007 Acura RDX I was informed that the rear brakes were completely worn (90%) and the pads were wearing unevenly. The front brakes showed only 10% wear - the car had 20,000 miles on it.”

“The front brakes on my 2007 Acura RDX make a loud grinding noise when applied on a slight downgrade or when stopping slightly harder than normal. The brakes have been replaced twice by the dealer and the problem continues. The dealership now states that Acura is aware and has no fix for the problem. The brakes feel like they are grabbing onto the rotor. The sound is similar to metal to metal grinding.”
