Description of the problem | On 1/16/2013 while driving the check gas cap light came on and blinked off and on three times and went out. The vehicle was parked and the gas cap was checked it was not loose. The engine malfunction light then came on when the vehicle was restarted.

No leakage was noted under the vehicle. Dealer is replacing the gas tank under the new car warranty. |
