The top of the gas cap just turns loose, it does not close.
Well now I really have to take it to the dealer, air bag light is on too.
Car still under warranty, its a 07 with 15K miles.
thanks.

ut oh... the car is rebelling!

Quickly go "talk" to it and ensure it a nice fresh mobil 1 oil change.

You must have mentioned owning a Mustang or something and it overheard.

How in the world do you break a gas cap? You could probably tear up an anvil!

Cas Cap..

When I had my 06 Coupe, my gas cap broke also. They did replace it under Warranty. Sounds like what happened to me. Its like anything else on a car, it can break and it did...

Exactly...a broken gas cap is not that unusual. It has a plastic ratchet mechanism inside it that can fail; then it will just spin as this one does. Not the OP's fault, just a bad gas cap

thats it, is the ratchet mechanisim, I know that I can go and buy the cap for nothing, but now that I have a couple of issues with other things its time for the dealer.

No I don't have a tune, my mods: halltec intake, exhaust, and rims.
just to be on the safe side I going to swap my stock intake before going to the dealer.
