“From the day after that we took the car from the lot the car had a light turn on to tighten fuel cap. We have replaced that and the solenoid and failed. The coolant system has been replaced and it still overheats. Now the car is suffering of no start condition. Dont understand why so much trouble has been experienced and we only took it from the lot 7 months ago. 119,000 miles. Only 91 octane.”
NHTSA complaint #11124394, filed 2018-09, 119,000 miles“My 2008 Acura TL continues to display a tighten fuel cap warning light. I've replaced the fuel cap, but it continues to display this light. It is very annoying, and I've been reading other complaints online. My car is not the only one with this problem. I also had to replace my front motor mount and transmission.”
