Service Engine Soon Light..... :(

The cap has 2 notches which must align correctly first. Then push & turn. Don't turn until it aligns. Some caps can just be defective and don't seal properly. If it happens again, have the dealer replace the cap. They will most likely do this rather than have you came back again. Invest in an OBD reader, it comes in handy for this type of thing.

I did not know about the 2 notches needing to be aligned! I'm hoping they just replace the cap today; if not, then I'm going to have someone there show me exactly how I'm supposed to close this darn gas cap "properly". Ummm....what's an OBD reader?

Update: A gas cap is being ordered! Should be in Tuesday or Wednesday. They said they've had a few cars that this has happened to; wonder why they didn't just order one last time it happened? Anyway, hope this will fix the issue. Thanks to everyone who posted....
