Common issues

Acura ZDX

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.

Lexus RZ

The recall affects certain 2023–2024 Lexus RZ 450e vehicles. The polished hood latch striker can crack and detach, allowing the hood to fly open while driving, which may block the windshield and increase crash risk. Owners may also notice hood misalignment or rattling before failure. The remedy is free of charge at a dealership, replacing the striker and adding a reinforcement bracket.
