Problem overview

Some Acura MDX owners report experiencing unexpected brake engagement while driving, which can be a concerning issue that requires prompt attention. This problem may be linked to a malfunctioning brake system, such as low brake fluid levels or potential brake failure. Additionally, issues with the Electric Parking Brake (EPB), including a malfunctioning brake pedal switch, can lead to similar unexpected brake activation. Some owners also find that driving with a stuck parking brake can cause the brakes to drag, resulting in unanticipated engagement. It is essential for owners to have their Acura MDX inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve these issues to ensure safety on the road.
