Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I WAS DRIVING AND PRIOR TO HITTING MY BRAKES, SEVERAL ALERT MESSAGES POPPED UP AND A VOICE STARTED READING THEM OUT. THE MESSAGES ARE STILL SAVED ON THE ACURA'S COMPUTER, BUT SINCE THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW, I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO RECALL THEM EXACTLY. THE ONLY ONE I REMEMBER SAID THAT THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST AND TCS MAY NOT OPERATE AND IT TRIED TO DIRECT ME TO FIND THE NEAREST ACURA DEALERSHIP. THERE WAS ALSO A MESSAGE ABOUT ABS. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES, THERE WAS MINIMAL RESISTANCE, AND THE CAR DIDN'T STOP WHATSOEVER. IT DIDN'T SKID OR SLIDE, THERE WAS NO BRAKE PRESSURE AT ALL. I HAD A FEW SECONDS TO DECIDE IF I WANTED TO: PULL INTO A DITCH AND PROBABLY FLIP THE SUV, PULL INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, OR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. I ENDED UP CHOOSING THE LATTER AND HITTING THE CAR, AFTER MY CAR DIDN'T DECELERATE OR BRAKE WHATSOEVER. THE ALERT MESSAGES REMAINED ACCESSIBLE ON THE COMPUTER OF THE CAR AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND I CAN RETRIEVE THEM AFTER THE CAR IS REPAIRED. THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE SUV, BUT I AM OBVIOUSLY MOST CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR BEING THAT THE BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONAL DURING TO THE ACCIDENT WHATSOEVER. THE BRAKES WERE FUNCTIONAL AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND THE CAR HAD BEEN RESTARTED, SO THE PROBLEM IS CONCERNING FOR SURE, BUT INTERMITTENT. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 ACURA MDX. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING DOWN AN INCLINE APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED YET THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. THE CONTACT VEERED OFF THE ROAD AND TRAVELED OVER A CURB. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE ENGAGED AND BEGAN TO DECELERATE. THE ENGINE WAS THEN TURNED OFF TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE A ROAD TEST AND AN INSPECTION WERE PERFORMED. IN ADDITION, PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN OF THE VEHICLE. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETECT THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 9,000.
