Description of the problem	The check engine light comes on, but the car runs fine. I had it checked and mechanic said gas cap problem and reset. After that time i was very careful to turn the gas cap until i heard 2 plus clicks (recommended by subaru). I have experienced this problem 4 times since then and finally was told the last time i had it reset while away from home that it could be a cracked fuel cut valve. The problem re-occurred 8 months ago and i haven't had the time to take it to a dealer to get it fixed or reset the check engine. Because of the check engine, texas inspection failed and now dealer wants over $900. 00 to replace the cracked valves. I think this repair should be covered by subaru since this is not a new problem and occurs because of a defective part or bad design.
