Driving down the highway I notice my check engine light was on. I went straight to auto zone and had them hook itup to their diagnostic machine and the code p0455 came back which is an evap problem. I left auto zone and my dash started blinking to tighten gas cap. I pulled over and tightened it, which didn't feel loose in the first place. I went back to autozone and bought another gas cap with the locking mechanism on it. I drove off and it was fine for about 2 days. On my way to work the check engine light came back on and again told me to tighten the gas cap. I took that one off and put the old one back on. The check engine light remains on with the same code. Where is a good place to order a gas cap for my Equinox?.
While driving my Equinox the check engine and stabilitrak light came on and stayed on. I called the dealership o'rielly Chevrolet tucson az, I purchased the vehicle from and they told me I would have to pay them to check it. I went to another repair shop and they did a diagnostic test and said there was a air leak in the fuel line most likely the gas cap. I replaced the gas cap and both lights went off. Then they both randomly came back on. I called o'reilly Chevrolet again they offered to fix charging me what the cost was to fix. I went to a different repair shop and I was told the erg valve was bad so I had that replaced. The stabilitrak light went off but the check engine light came back on. This has gone on for a year. I just received a soft recall notice from gm about a fuel leak and there were three issues showing up. One of the issues is the check engine light on. I took this recall along with my Equinox to o'riellys Chevrolet mechanic tec explained to me that it could be a 50 50 chance it was either my problem or the recall and they would fix it at my cost. Each time I called I was never told at this dealership that my vehicle was under warranty and I would have to pay the cost of the repairs. Now with a recall I still have to pay the part of the repairs. Is this normal?.
