“The service engine soon light comes on when the gas tank gets to 3/4 full. Fill it up and it goes off. Brought it in for service (with service light on), was told it was gas cap not sealing right (they had this problem alot - service manager said). Instructed to fill up with gas, don't over fill, tighten cap till it clicks several times. Did what was instructed, but still problem continues.”
