Service Light Indicator
Hello guys,
I bought my TL on 1/2/07 and it currently has 440 miles on it. About 10 days ago I got the "Tighten Fuel Cap" msg on the MID and that went away after about 2 days of driving but the service light indicator went on and it has been on for about a week now. I called the service department at the dealership where I bought my TL and the lady there told me since it's a brand new car I shouldn't worry about the service light indicator being on and that is normal on new cars. Is this correct? Should I just take my car over there and have them look at it?

And while your at it, check the tire pressure, just because the dealer was supposed to do it before it left there..........

What an idiotic lady to tell you that it is a new car and that it is normal for any indicator light to be on! She should be reported for giving out such false information. Dumb ass!

I dont know about your State - but here in CT i get a loaner car evertime without even being asked about age, and they know I'm 24, they have a copy of my License on file. I would ask why the dealer has no problem taking $30+ from a 21 yr old, but has a problem giving them a loaner car. That is part of the $30k that you paid for, a loaner is pretty standard for warranty work from all dealers, i mean u paid for the ability to have a loaner for this type of thing in the price of the Acura, they should NOT be deneying you that just cuz ur 21....
