Altima SV 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 26,750 miles

I went out to get some lunch today and when I started my car, the warning of Fuel Cap is Loose popped up. I turned the car off, opened the gas door, turned the cap to hear the "click," then restarted the car. The message is still there. I am thinking "what the heck?", opened the door again, got back out of my car, turned for two clicks and the stinking light is still on. Since I do not get more then 30 minutes for lunch, I put test put the car into gear and was able to move with the light on.

So then I called up the dealership. "Oh, you have to reset it." "Well, how do I do that?" "You have to press the menu button for a few seconds."

So back to my original question... Why did it come on? There is no evidence anybody tampered with the car. I had gotten gas back a week ago and it has not been on the whole time. So why?

Thanks for reading.
