    It's probably an odd question because I can't seem to find the answer but does anyone know if the 2014 Prius c is supposed to come standard with a gas cap/fuel tank cap tether? It was purchased brand new from the dealer earlier this year and was my first car so I didn't know to look for it but after an incident (where I forgot to put the cap back on after fueling up and lost it) I'm starting to wonder if it should have come with one.. Please help?

    i would go back to the dealer and show them. they should give you a strap or whole new cap. never heard this one before, someone had to fill it before you got it.:cool:

    Yes, dead simple: drive to dealership where they have a few similar cars on the lot. Get a service writer or mechanic, or even salesperson, check out if others have the tether. If so they'll get one ordered.

    Yes, at the moment I am. The dealership's parts department did not have it in stock so it will not be in until tomorrow. Also I wanted to figure out whether it should have had that tether or not before I go in to speak with them.

    They all are attached, not sure how yours would have come without one, how many miles were on your car when purchased? The reason I am asking, is to see if it was an unwound deal, and someone purchased it before you.
