How many times has your TSX been in for repair?

Do not count service appointments unless some type of repair took place.

Zero

I have no rattles. My only issue so far is that my horn stuck twice after using it in an emergency situation. The drivers seat also has a sort of mattress spring thunk every once in a while. I am going to have the dealer address these issues on the first service.

Water in the headlights is the most common problem that my service guy has seen with the TSX.

Bringing in for the fourth time Monday, all for the same rattle which they can't seem to fix (although the first time they didn't even try to fix it, just blamed it on the window tinting people). Service has been friendly and I've had a loaner every time, but I wish they could just fix the problem.

Not sure that it originates from here, but this is more fodder for it.

At any rate, yeah Crazy, I would complain as well. Rattles are one thing, but a dead radio/ac/lock unit sucks and I'm sorry to hear it.

So far zero repairs for me, although I need to get the seat track replaced. It feels like its about to jump the track when I'm going around corners.

Drove my car to the dealership this week to pick up a bottle of touch up paint...they ended up touching up my car for me. Does that count? If not, then no repairs.

Visit 1:
Replace scratched radio panel cover
Inspected for driver side window whistling noise (ordered window seal part)

Visit 2:
Brought in for replacement of window seal and realignment of steering wheel.
Parts Dept. brought in wrong door seal

Visit 3:
Brought back in for door seal replacement, wheel alignment and brake squeek. Unsuccesful on all 3 counts. Door still whistles, overcorrected the wheel alignment and brakes still squeek.

Future visit 4:
Hope to solve all from visit 3 and verify rust problem in trunk door track (be afraid, be very afraid) as well as knocking from track when you move the electric seat back and forth.

I still like my car. What is wrong with me?

I have been in four times:

1) Seat slid forward under heavy braking. Seat rails replaced. 2 visits 2 days in shop
2) Door rattle. Rattle fixed. 1 visit 1 day in shop
3) Cold weather dash rattle. Could not duplicate. 1 visit 1 day in shop
4) Could weather dash rattle and driver's seat creak. Could not duplicate. 1 visit 7 days in shop!

Previous car 1997 Civic LX:

1) Car would not engage transmission in D. Shifter replaced. 2 visits 2 days in shop (first year of ownership)

No other problems for six years. More importantly NO RATTLES for the entire seven years of ownership.

1. Warped brake rotors cut (wear & tear more than repair)
2. Replaced rear wheel bearing
Both done during scheduled maintenance visits.

On my own, I had to replace a tire and the panel that fills the fog light space. I hit what looked like a flat cardboard box but turned out to be a wood pallet.

1. 5 days in the shop after someone threw a gallon jug of milk at my car and left a nice big dent in my hood (along with the contents of the jug all over the front of my car).

Just passed 3k on the odometer and no mechanical or exterior problems yet... (or any more flying milk jugs for that matter) *knocks on wood*

Twice for me. The first was only two weeks after I got the car because the Nav system was going screwing on me so they replaced it. The second was a month after I got the car because I was rear-ended and they had to replace the bumper and do some repair work.
