r/AcuraZDX

Has any one had the trunk shut on you while you were putting something in it? Instinctively I put my hand up to stop it from coming down on me and I heard a click….now it won’t open.

My ZDX lease is set to expire in June, and we’ll be returning it.

I chose the $300 EVgo charging credit when we leased the ZDX, but since we mostly charge at home, we still have around $250 in unused credits.

Does anyone know what happens to the EVgo credits when the lease ends? Are they tied to the ZDX/VIN in some way, or are they tied to my EVgo account?

We're getting another EV soon, so ideally I’d love to keep the remaining credits in my EVgo account and use them on our next car.

Thanks!

I’m finalizing the purchase of a ZDX type S. 16 months ago, we purchased an Ariya for my wife. At the time, someone provided me with a Nissan dealership that offered discounts/codes for the Nissan adapter at about a 20% discount. Anyone out there know the best place to do that with Honda/Acura, if there is one?

My Acura dealership (Ed Voyles Acura Chamblee, GA) reached out via text to see if I needed to schedule service. I asked about the pending recall regarding the backup camera and they offered to schedule it. This is my second time taking the car in for a recall. The first time I got a loaner and it took about 2 days. This time they’re telling me recalls are drop off only. Has anyone ever experienced this? The dealership is about 40 miles away. I guess I’ll just try the one that’s closer if that’s the case.

Update: I called the original dealership where the car was pushed (Ed Voyles). The service coordinator said that parts have not come in yet but it’s quick and I could wait. He did shared that a loaner is not an option because Corporate Acura has no intention to continue supporting this vehicle beyond what they are legally requirement to do. As a 5 time Acura owner that is disappointing to hear. It still has an Acura name on it. I’ll get rid of it after the lease and won’t ever look back to Acura. No wonder they continue to struggle.

Okay… I’m officially impressed with GM’s Ultium battery design 😂🔋
So I’ve had my ZDX A-Spec AWD for about two years now, and honestly, it’s been a great car.
Then one day…
🚨 BATTERY ALERT 🚨
And off to the dealership we went. 😂
They kept the car for a few days, did their diagnostics, and eventually told me:
“You need a new battery.”
Me: 😳
Also me: “Okay 👍 sweet…”
Meanwhile, in my head I’m imagining some poor technician dropping a 1,000+ lb battery pack out of the car and GM getting a bill somewhere around the GDP of a small island nation. 😂
About two weeks later, the service guy calls:
“Your ZDX is ready!”
Awesome.
While talking to him, I casually asked:
“So just out of curiosity… what did that battery replacement cost?”
He looks it up…
Pause…
“$980, parts and labor.”
Me: “……$980???”
Him: “Yep. That’s what it says.”
Me: 🤨🤨🤨
At this point I’m thinking either GM has discovered how to manufacture EV batteries using Costco Kirkland pricing, or something isn’t adding up. 😂
So we did a little more digging.
Turns out they didn’t replace the entire battery pack.
Because of GM’s modular battery design, they were able to identify the defective section/block, replace THAT portion, put everything back together, and send me on my way.
And just like that…
🔋 Battery fixed
🚙 Car driving perfectly
⚡ Back to 310+ miles of range
💰 Repair: around $980 parts + labor
That honestly blew my mind.
Especially because I also have a Tesla, and if the main pack ever develops the wrong kind of internal failure, you can potentially be looking at a complete battery replacement costing many thousands of dollars.
Meanwhile the ZDX basically went:
“Oh, one part of the battery is bad? Cool. Replace that part.” 😂
THAT is the kind of EV engineering I can appreciate.
I know the ZDX didn’t exactly become the sales phenomenon Honda/Acura probably dreamed about, but after experiencing this firsthand, I have a whole new appreciation for the GM battery platform underneath it.
I leased this thing thinking:
“Three years and I’m handing the keys back.”
Now I’m looking at it like:
👀
“You know what… you might be staying.” 😎🙌🔋

2026 Pathfinder Platinum, which has been sitting in my garage for two weeks while I'm out of state. I pulled up the MyNissan app and it reports the vehicle being on the road in town 8 miles from my home. Security cam in the garage shows the car is, indeed, home.

For fun I tried to toggle the lights, and locks and the app just spins. So it appears the app cannot be trusted to provide accurate information about the car, and I certainly wouldn't trust doing anything like a remote start.

Has anyone actually found a useful purpose for this app?
