What owners wrote
Was at gas station & filled vehicle with fuel. Engine check light came on & stayed. Took vehicle to dealer & was informed by mechanic the cap not on tight & vehicle needed to be recomputerized. The problem with engine check light has reappeared. The vehicle also giving a code of loss of fuel.
Every time I put fuel in the car, it starts leaking out. It leaves quite a big puddle of gas on the ground. When I stop putting gas in, the leak stops. I don't believe I am losing any at the gas tank, just when filling up.
