My tighten gas cap warning has come on multiple times almost every single day I have driven the car and they would not fix the problem. I even explained all this in those customer satisfaction surveys they send to your email after a visit. Also there were some suspension and steering issues I asked them to check out and they did nothing at all. I had to pay for all these fixes after my warranty ran out, although the dealer did chip in on the steering pump and labour. Still pisses me off when I think about it too much or if my gas cap light comes on more than two or three times in a trip but I am trying real hard to be nice about it.

I thought there was just a service bulletin and $250 worth of labor so I've put up with gas cap for 3 years now...

Wow your dealership must be shitty.

I had the loose gas cap issue too. I also have the extended warranty with my 07 TL.
At first they couldn't find the issue because it didn't show up during inspection. But it finally did and they fixed it under warranty. No cost to me.

My steering pump was replaced under warranty.

My oil leak was fixed under warranty.

My handsfree unit was replaced under warranty. (Was stuck at "booting up")

I've had the motors for my power mirrors replaced 2x.

I'm probably missing something else but i can't remember them all, gotta refer back to my log.

Graduated in '05 with an Associate's degree in Process Technology. Looked for a job for a year, but couldn't find a job so I got a job in retail/customer service making $32K a year. Went back to college, because I was tired of working at a dead end job. Graduated in '07 with a Bachelor's degree in Control Systems Engineering. Landed a job at a small engineering firm making $52K a year. Moved to California in '14 for a job opportunity at a Fortune 500 engineering firm making $114K a year. Just moved back to Texas in February and now I'm at a bigger engineering firm making $120K a year.

I had an 03 Acura RSX Base with 107K miles that I just traded in for an 07 Acura TL Type S with 137K miles. I also have a '12 Toyota Tundra with 18K miles that I drive on the weekends. The TL-S is my DD. Truck and car note are a little over $1K a month. I'm a bachelor.
