Electrical system

Incident Date: [redacted] Location: Miami, FL, USA What happened: On [redacted], in Miami, Florida, I brought my 2024 Acura ZDX to a complete stop on a flat surface, applied the brake, and then selected Park (the "P" indicator was illuminated on the instrument panel). After selecting Park, I opened the driver's door and exited the vehicle. While I was outside the vehicle and no one was in the driver's seat, the vehicle moved backward on its own and struck another car. I did not press Reverse or command any additional gear change after selecting Park. The vehicle had been fully stopped before Park was selected. No injuries occurred, but property damage resulted. This incident created a significant safety concern because the vehicle moved while unattended after Park was selected. I am reporting this event for safety documentation and investigation.

I am reporting a safety defect in my 2024 Acura ZDX, which poses a serious risk. The vehicle, purchased on 11/15/2023, has been in the shop for 35 days and has only 1,300 miles. It experienced recurring electrical failures, including blown fuses, door chimes, and ambient light and window malfunctions. After several weeks of diagnosis, the dealer discovered that a wiring bundle running from the engine compartment to the cabin, routed behind the steering column, was shorting out. The steering column assembly has a bolt that was rubbing against this wiring bundle, wearing away the insulation and causing several wires to cross and short. This short circuit was the cause of the blown fuses and other electrical issues. The dealer indicated that repairing the damaged wiring bundle would require extensive disassembly of the vehicle, suggesting this is a manufacturing defect. …
