Ugh. It is a very common problem with the Honda mini van. Practically everyone I know that owns one has had it happen. The stinker is that the only way to get that light to go off is to take it to the dealership.

Ok, then let me officially say that Mazda sucks.

Wendi–both of our hondas instruct to tighten three times!

Shutterboo, I want to know what kind of car you have since my Mazda clearly isn’t as customer friendly as your Cap’n Cruiser.

My gas cap has stamped right on it “tighten gas cap – three clicks”. Ay-ay, captain cruiser.

Emily, your light has been on for 6 months? Seriously? Girl, get thee to a garage. Clearly, the car hasn’t exploded but something’s not right.

The funny thing about this dealership is that I had shopped there when I was looking for a car. The experience was so unfortunate that I vowed never to give them my business. But when the check engine light goes on and you don’t know if your car is about to blow up, and crappy dealer is 20 miles closer than where you bought the car, you’ll rationalize that the service department can’t be as bad as the sales department. And you’d (I’d) be dead wrong.

You need to name the dealership that rooked you, send them a copy of this post and see what happens…:)

I have been riding for a bout 6 months now with the check engine light on.
when I notified the spouse that it wa son and not flashing or dancing but burning steadily, his reaction was……”how is it running?” ( like I know the difference?) He said it is not bad enough to fix. (? Like Ihave to be stranded on the Texas 410 for it to be BAD enogh to fix?)

I will try tightening the gas cap 3 clicks…..and wouldn’t it just be wonderful if it fixed the problem!
