Description of the problem | I filled up my gas tank. Turned the gas cap until it clicked and drove away. A few days later my car gives me a warning that my gas cap isn't tight. I tighten the gas cap however the warning keeps popping up when i start my car. The warning eventually goes away but my engine light comes on. I buy a replacement gas cap from the parts store however the engine light stays does not go away. A fe days later the engine light turned off. Everything is fine i go to get gas and tighten my gas cap. A few days later the gas cap light warning sign comes on again. The engine light follows a few days later. I take the car to the auto mechanic shop and he tells me i need an authentic nissan gas cap. He orders one and puts it on and reset the engine light. Nothing is wrong with my car. I ride around a few days and the engine light stays off. I go to have my car inspected by the state for the emissions test everything is fine. A few days later my engine light comes back on. I take it to a different mechanic shop and have them test the car. They tell me the read out says it's a slow leak from the gas cap. He tighten the gas cap and reset the engine light. A few days later the i receive a warning sign about the gas cap and then the engine light comes on. The gas cap warning and engine light has been coming on and going off for over four years now. Both mechanics told me that the engine is not recognizing the gas cap. It's an authentic nissan gas cap i purchased earlier this year. One mechanic told me nissan has a bulletin out about the gas cap but has not completed a recall. |
