Check engine light at .... 37 miles!

[Sleblanc63]

I may have put this in the wrong forum... OR I am so freaking disappointed I just want to freaking vent... so I repost... $50k and two alka seltzers later...

Not the way to start ownership of my first Jeep. Just got home with my shiny new Rubicon with the 2L... check engine light came on 5 miles out. Found the gas cap barely in the filler hole (thanks for the tank full of fuel anyway). Tightened it. Restarted... still on. Drove a few miles.. still on. I do own a cheapy OBDII scanner... but it's in the coach, in storage. I will be headed over there first thing in the morning to scan it... if I can. I read on this site where I can't scan as it's locked. WTF? NOT HAPPY.

You’re freaking out over a check engine light from a mis-aligned gas cap? Good luck enjoying you’re ride in the future

Hopefully that "tank full of fuel" was diesel and not gasoline...

Loose gas cap will cause MIL. Typically it will go off after tightening and driving it for a bit with no lingering consequences. If it goes off you don’t need to do anything further. If it stays on for a prolonged period then have it checked out as it may be something else.

No... if ya can read you'll note that I tightened it... drove it and expected it to go out.

I'll be cool with it if it is only about the gas cap.

Had nothing better to do so I drove to the dealer this morning... EGR issue. Day one.

Thanks. Disappointed in initial quality for sure... but stuff happens. Dropped it off this morning.
