Short story. I have a 2019 Nissan Versa that just turned over [View all]

18,000 miles. I drive it about once a week. I went to drive it the day after Christmas and it had been sitting in the driveway about 10 days. And where my odometer should be was a message: LOOSE FUEL CAP. So I opened it up, cleaned the gasket, put it back on, and turned it one 'click'. Message was still there and wouldn't reset. Did this about a dozen times, but nothing worked.
On Wednesday, drove to the local Nissan dealer and was told I'd need a service appointment and $100 for an evaluation. Made the appointment for this morning. But I drove directly to the Midas shop. Guy said they'd look at it in about 30 minutes. I walked to a cafe and drank coffee. Went back and the mechanic had cleaned the grooves on the gas cap and reset message. Cost to me: $0.
Canceled appointment at Nissan.
