2007 TL Type S
Does anyone have a problem while you drive you get a message "gas cap loose " and then it goes away after 10 15 minutes of drving. i got this message several times. i always fill the gas my self and i make sure it gets 4 to 5 clicks. i also never leave vehicle running when i am filling gas. i have this Saturday appointment for this issue.

you really shouldnt have that issue if you're tightening it 4-5 clicks.

i know that, but it seems there is a problem i just want to know if anyone else had this problem and what did they do to solve it

there may be a problem with your cap, something in your fuel system is malfunctioning...since its going away I would think it may be the sensor

1 click or 13591 clicks its the cap will be tightened the same amount

Little over a year, never had a problem.

Seen this on many cars that come in.

Replace the gas cap, only get one from the dealer others will make problem worse

Warranty will cover it, I don't remember if extended warranty will

Same problem here; they replaced the gas cap and it is still happening.

I have this problem also on my 07 TL-S. It's very irritating to keep deleting the "emails". I replaced the gas cap myself since I didn't want to wait around at the dealer. The light comes on three to eight times per tank and goes off after 5-15 mintues.

then you might have a bad sensor, the one that checks for fuel vapor leakage...

I just had this happen to me and I took it up to the shop to get a diagnostic on it. I had a "Small" EVAP leak.

I took it to the dealership and they say there is no codes stored in the system. they couldn't find a problem so I bought a new gas cap and put it my self and the light still comes back on.
