for some odd reason my mothers accord started blinkg the words "check fuel cap"... so i checked the fuel cap and nothing has changed...so im wondering what can this be?...going to the dealers if i cant find the answer...

 

she didn't turn it 3 times and that will happen. If not, then im stunned, I always turn it so it clicks a bunch of times for good measure so I never have that problem.

 

turned the cap three times and more ... so dont really know whats up...gonna head to the dealer on saturday and have a friend check it out

 

Since the car is under warranty then yeah no problem with that, but its supposed to clear itself up 3 days after the next time you put gas in your tank.

 

Now that you've made sure that the gas cap is on correctly, let her drive it for a while and build up the pressure again in the gas tank system - the light should go off.

I'm also sure that the owner's manual say something about this. And be sure to tell your mom to make sure she hears the cap click a minimum of three times everytime she puts it back on the car.
