The 2024 Acura ZDX has the highest owner complaint count of any ZDX model year, with the most-reported issue area being forward collision avoidance. The source aggregates NHTSA complaint data but does not provide individual symptom narratives, so specific false alerts or braking problems are not documented. This may affect driver confidence or crash-avoidance function, but no repair-cost estimate is available from the research.
Affected 2024 Kia EV9 models with the optional panoramic glass roof may have a roof glass panel that is not properly bonded and can separate from the vehicle while driving. Symptoms include wind noise, rattling or popping sounds from the roof, or a visible gap or movement of the glass panel. If not corrected, the glass can detach during driving, creating a road hazard and increased crash risk. The official recall remedy is dealer replacement or reinstallation of the glass at no cost to the owner, so no private repair cost estimate is provided.
