anyone else have their gas cap fail? Put gas in the Z the other day and the cap will not go back on securely. I have no idea WTH happened to it. I have never had a gas cap fail before

Yes, and the dealer replaced mine.

My other two vehicles are newer Ford vehicles. Both are gas cap less. Can that be F'd up also?

My gas cap goes on very lightly and the only way I can tell it is on is when I pull it back and it stays on. Have to monkey with it once in a while, but not very often.

A 2007 here. Mine was also changed. Kept getting "check gas cap" message.

Yes mine did the same thing then the check engine light came on ,so i just replace it for $26.50 problem solved, I think i cause the problem by turning it a extra click after i put it back on after each fill up to make sure it was tight

Gas caps can fail but the C6 gas cap doesn't screw-down tight like gas caps on many other cars. Years ago I had a check gas cap warning. Another forum member suggested I try screwing the cap on as 'loosely' as possible. I mean...the cap is still screwed on but not screwed down tight until it stops. I've never had any further problems with the gas cap (I still have the new one I bought to replace the OEM cap). If screwing it on loosely doesn't do the trick the cap is easy to replace. Good luck.

I changed the OEM cap on my 07 with a Stant 10511, so far now problems. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...00_i00_details

Had my 05 cap replaced a few years ago. It's covered under the emissions warranty. Miles only, not months.

caps are covered for 10 years and 120000 miles per GM.This has been happening since 2005!

This issue hasn't raised it's head lately but this IS the fix. Unless your cap is truly faulty. Try the "as loose as possible" fix. Don't put any pressure on the cap when putting it back on.

its so loose it falls out I hate it when that happens

Mine broke for the sencond time last night. I always put it on loosely. WTF? POS!

I'm not sure I am going there,

Never had one totally fail. I did have the OEM cap on my 06Z set a CEL about once a year after a fill-up. Not often enough in my mind to replace the cap. The next OEM cap could have been worse!!

Thanks for the info, but the item stated it does not fit Corvette?

The link that I posted is were I bought my gas cap for my 07 Vet. It has worked very well so far. The number on the key is 13EL if that helps any. I check my orders and the Stant 10511 was correct, which I bought in 08.

I tried again on the link, says the same, does not fit Corvette. Hmm I wonder why?

Thanks just the same, you are always helpful!
