Description of the problem | On 6/25/19 at 16:39 i was driving my 2018 acura tlx northbound on a four lane city street at approximately 35 mph. Road conditions were dry and clear. As i approached the intersection, the cmbs (collision mitigation braking system) beeped and brought the vehicle to a complete stop despite there being no car ahead. This surprised me and nearly caused an accident as the truck behind me had to stop suddenly. While braking the vehicle ignored all throttle input, thus my engine raced and spun the front tires once throttle input was restored. The event, with sound, was captured via my dashcam, i have attached a still image from the dashcam video and can supply the footage if needed. My acura is due for service next month and i plan to report this issue to my acura dealer at this time. I changed the vehicle 'forward collision warning distance' setting from 'long' (default) to 'short' and have not had the same issue recur. |
