I purchased my car used from a dealership in 2009 and i now have the following problems with it. a check engine light that will not go out, the error states the fuel cap is not tight and no matter how much i tightened it never goes away. when fueling the car fuel will overflow if not paying attention. also the the shift lever position is no longer illuminated so i am not sure which position the car is in most of the time i have to listen and gauge it before trying to put it in gear. i never received an communications that the car was under recall but from what i am seeing from the nhtsa website these are the problems that i am now having.
