The 25 number he quoted was the number waiting for the backordered part at that time, so yes it was people waiting. It was not the total number that had broken. So I do think that the 25 he quoted was the proverbial tip of the iceburg. As you said, there have been many reports of this problem on this forum. He talked a bunch about "pattern" problems and indicated that this was not a "pattern" problem ( I have not a clue what that had to do with getting my car fixed, but he talked a bunch about it).
Yes, I was driving by car between cities in a rural area on the interstate; it was dark outside, and the lights just suddenly blinked and went out. At first, I thought it must have been a fuse, but when I got home and read on the forum about others with exactly the same problem, I knew that it wasn't a fuse.
I read about your experiences with post-repair rattles and the subsequent "dead" car. I'm sorry for your trouble, sure hope it doesn't happen to me!!!
I do have qualms about taking my car for repair at this dealership, but in the city where I live, it is the only Acura dealership. The next closest is 3 hours either east or 3-1/2 hours west. So, there aren't great choices as far as getting it fixed.
The last time I was in an Enterprise Rental a couple of years ago, it was a small Chevy, smaller than a Cavalier (I don't know their car line well enough to remember). It was a rattle trap!! I'd rather drive my broken TSX than to be in one of those.
Honestly, as soon as I get it fixed, I think I'm going to change vehicles. I love the handling of the TSX, but I can get handling like that in other cars and get decent service. For example, even an Accord handles pretty well and there are several Honda dealerships close by. Having little confidence in the local Acura service department and not another place to go within reasonable driving distance, I think I need to change. I do not want another experience like this!!!
