Not a very good start

I supposed to pickup mine yesterday. Before I was ready to drive the car home, the engine light came on. So I had to leave the car behind and picked up a loaner. The salesperson called me after and said the service people is working with Acura HQ. They determined I need a new Solenoid. Do anyone know what's wrong?

A new boost solenoid? That is the device that regulates air flow for boost. Very odd that a new car needed work done already

Stories like this and the "unknown brake problem" story freak me out slightly. Just picked up mine today. So far so good, no problems.

Mine broke in smoothly. The only 'problem' was the shift lock plastic cover (just aft of the shift) was misplaced by the dealer during the delivery, and had to be replaced within the first week.
