| Description of the problem | The gas cap is very difficult to remove and put back on. This leaves owners/operators with the decision to leave it off or very loose if possible. Or, in some cases stuff something else in the filler instead of the factory stock gas cap in order to easily refuel. It seems like a dangerous situation as well as very inconvenient. The vehicle is only one month old. Purchased 8/24/2016 |
