I WAS DRIVING AND PRIOR TO HITTING MY BRAKES, SEVERAL ALERT MESSAGES POPPED UP AND A VOICE STARTED READING THEM OUT. THE MESSAGES ARE STILL SAVED ON THE ACURA'S COMPUTER, BUT SINCE THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW, I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO RECALL THEM EXACTLY. THE ONLY ONE I REMEMBER SAID THAT THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST AND TCS MAY NOT OPERATE AND IT TRIED TO DIRECT ME TO FIND THE NEAREST ACURA DEALERSHIP. THERE WAS ALSO A MESSAGE ABOUT ABS. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES, THERE WAS MINIMAL RESISTANCE, AND THE CAR DIDN'T STOP WHATSOEVER. IT DIDN'T SKID OR SLIDE, THERE WAS NO BRAKE PRESSURE AT ALL. I HAD A FEW SECONDS TO DECIDE IF I WANTED TO: PULL INTO A DITCH AND PROBABLY FLIP THE SUV, PULL INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, OR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. I ENDED UP CHOOSING THE LATTER AND HITTING THE CAR, AFTER MY CAR DIDN'T DECELERATE OR BRAKE WHATSOEVER. THE ALERT MESSAGES REMAINED ACCESSIBLE ON THE COMPUTER OF THE CAR AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND I CAN RETRIEVE THEM AFTER THE CAR IS REPAIRED. THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE SUV, BUT I AM OBVIOUSLY MOST CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR BEING THAT THE BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONAL DURING TO THE ACCIDENT WHATSOEVER. THE BRAKES WERE FUNCTIONAL AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND THE CAR HAD BEEN RESTARTED, SO THE PROBLEM IS CONCERNING FOR SURE, BUT INTERMITTENT. *TR

Never been in accident, Srs warning on dash, so took to Acura service dept in November of 2020, they confirmed it's the opds unit & the opds sensor inside seat, said it's not the seatbelts, & no airbags will deploy if in accident, they want to charge $1700+tax, we are poor & can not afford that or to buy another vehicle, our safety of our family with kids are at risk if in a accident because we can not afford the charge to replace the parts
