This is related to complaint #11143782. two months after my gas tank was replaced due to a faulty connection between it and the filler pipe, the bolts holding the rear propellor shaft came loose as i was driving on a busy city street, making the car undrivable. at that time, my car had 3761 miles on it. the car had to be flatbed towed to the acura dealer, where i was told that the bolts had "backed out and the shaft was rubbing on safety holders." the bolts were replaced with oezm bolts with loc-tite.
When my gas cap warning light kept going on in spite of my loosening it and tightening it and then my emission system light came on, i brought the car to the dealer. they found that there was a leak in the connection between the filler pipe and the gas tank. both had to be replaced on a car with 3,037 miles on it. in the process, i was given false information about the work that was done, which i did not discover until a second incident in which the rear propellor shaft came loose forced them to explain what happened.
