just as an observation, i noticed that one of the replies stated that warranty is 3y/36k miles. evap system repairs should be covered for an extended period as is mandated by federal law for emissions compliance, typically it's 8y/80k miles. i am a master certified driveability tech for ford/lincoln/mercury/kia (feel sorry for me on the last brand) and i know this to be true on those brands. although i dont know "common" failures on nissans, i am a firm believer that the parts that customers have a direct input to (ie. gas caps) have the highest failure rate. and a loose or leaking fuel cap will DEFINATELY set a gross evap leak dtc. to verify for free, take a thin plastic grocery bag and place it tightly between your fuel filler neck and the gas cap, then tighten the cap back down. you can trim the bag if you dont like the idea of a grocery bag flying out of the side of your car. anyway the idea is if it's a cap leak, the bag is probably going to seal it.
