'12 forester 44k miles has driven all over Alaska and to Florida.
We have never had a problem with the car until the gas until just after the 36k mark. First time was My fault it was loose, ever since then tight or not it throws the emissions code apparently related to the gas cap. The dealer is sugesting the valve on the gas cap is malfunctioning because there is "salt and dirt all over the undercarriage.
I fee this is BS as the only emission valve I can find related to the fuel system is the valve assy. that is part of the filler neck. Any other ideas? anything I can clean.
Just had a Kid, thus the move from AK to FL, bought a house and got into nursing school so we Aint rich but i am pretty handy. Kinda dissapointed to be having this issue given we bought the thing brand new I change the oil every 5k and in general take care of the car.
