Description of the problem | Purchased acura mdx in january of 2018 so it is now 3 months. I believe there is something significantly wrong with its automatic braking system. I was driving down a hill on a residental, fast paced road, with a guardrail to my right side and another car passing me on the left side. We both we traveling at the speed limit of 40 miles per hour when all of a sudden my car's brakes went on, causing me to swerve into the guardrail. From there, i was thrown into oncoming traffic causing a collison. I believe the system became confused and stepped on the brakes when it detected the other vehicle accelerating towards me. |
