2017 Acura MDX Driver Assist & ADAS Problems

I am reporting a major safety failure on my 2017 Acura MDX regarding the forward-facing multipurpose camera. Out of nowhere, the camera failed and triggered a cascade of warning lights across my entire dashboard. Because of this hardware defect, all of the critical safety systems—including the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS), and Adaptive Cruise Control—are now completely disabled. Having these emergency systems shut down while driving in traffic is a serious safety hazard. Furthermore, the constant flashing of 5 or 6 different warning lights on the dash is a massive distraction while trying to operate the vehicle. This is a well-documented hardware failure in these models, and it shouldn't be left to the owners to pay thousands of dollars to fix a primary safety component that failed prematurely. This needs to be investigated as a mandatory safety recall before these failures lead to an accident.

Dear Acura, My MDX is showing many lights on the dashboard (LKAS, ACC, Break System, CMBS, RDM) associates with the code U3000-49 and all those features are deactivated due to the failure mentioned. I was searching on the website for this error and found many Acura MDX oweners experiencing the same issue which apparently the Windshield Lane Departure Camera. Honestly, Acura should take a look into this since this issue is getting worse and those are safety features on the vehicle. Regards,

Blind spot warning, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keep assistance, and high beam lights keep flashing on dash giving a code of: U3000-49. The dealership quoted me $2000 to fix a faulty front facing camera. Research shows this is happening to thousands of people.

The LKAS and Parking systems will randomly decide to cease functioning and express error messages. The car has not been in an accident.

the camera keep going online/offline in a middle of a highway while I'm on cruise control LKAS, ACC, Camera, and ect warning lights keep coming on.

My car routinely sends a warning alert that there is an approaching object. It happens more frequently, when the temperature is hot, and it happens mostly when I am stopped at a traffic light. Occasionally, the alerts continue as I'm moving, which is really distracting, but even sitting at a traffic light is distracting and creating a safety issue. I listed yesterday's date, but this happens nearly every day that I drive this vehicle.

2017 Acura MDX purchased May 2020. Incidences has happened 5 times. Twice this month in July 2021 the brakes engaged! Anxiety and fear of being hit by cars behind. 1st incident:location back road When the brakes engaged the vehicle in front had taken a right turn. The vehicle was cleared from mine so it came as a scare as it stopped in the middle of the road with others behind me honking….. The brakes released and i proceeded driving. 2nd:location back road Again In front a vehicle turned right and the brakes engaged. I hit the gas gently i dont know if that helped to disengage the brakes or not. 3rd: location highway Brakes engaged and immediately released. I was in passing lane and a truck in middle lane ….. this made no sense. 4th: location at intersection Truck turned left across and in front of me, brakes engaged and stopped my car, only to find out a low trailer was being towed. Brakes did help prevent an accident. KUDOS earned here!!!! 5th: location back road speed less than 40mph Vehicle in front of me turning right Again my brakes engaged! Again I used the gas hoping the brakes would disengage. I dont know if it helped or not. Now I ONLY use the cruise control on highways.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 80 MPH AND AS I WAS ROUNDING A BAND THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY STARTED BREAKING WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR ALMOST CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE IT OUT OF ALLEVIATED THE BREAKING AND ALLOWED ME TO CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE.
