Blue Tooth - Tighten Gas Cap

So, this is a brain teaser

I got a new Droid Razr Maxx (Verizon), had a Samsung Epic Touch (Sprint)

Ever since pairing my Razr to the car I get a tighten gas cap message whenever I start her up. I usually have the stereo set to bluetooth and stream my amazon mp3.

If I change the stereo to anything but bluetooth before powering down, the next time I start up no error about the gas cap. If I leave the bluetooth audio on, I'd say 3 out of 5 times I get a gas cap message

Strange to say the least, and with how often I'm able to recreate it I don't think its a fluke. Anyone else run into this?

dont think you can get this issue solved yourself. it might be a dealer thing.

but my suggestion, try another phone.

Don't think I've ever seen this on these forums you might just need to take it to the dealer.

You have to get a new gas cap because the cap is broken and its allowing pressure to seek through causing your tighten gas cap message to come on.

The msg is from acuralink, your phone is one if the few phones that connects to it automatically. Try to uncap and retighten on ur own, some gas station attendants dont make the cap click. If that isnt helping, go to the dealer and get a new gas cap.

If it's a tighten gas cap msg then there's a TSB for this, it's a software update. My '12 TL had the same message, comes up at least once a month. Had update done in Oct '12, msg never came on since.
