As the subject line indicates, driving along the 401 today when I heard what sounded like a "thwack" and the Check Fuel Cap light comes on. I hadn't touched the fuel cap since filling the tank last Sunday so I'm like "WTH"?
Get to my destination, take the cap off, noticing that there's no pressure being released when I undid the cap (First bad sign) clean everything using a clean rag, cap, filler neck, etc. put the cap back on, ratcheting it to four clicks, still get the light, also noticed a faint gas smell as I was travelling (second bad sign)
It's going in Monday and it will be a warranty job, but I'm just curious if anyone else has had their gas cap fail and at what mileage (Or if the Check Cap Light was actually traced to anything else?)
