Hi
I recently have a problem with my 99 Honda accord.
Checkup shows no error code( Undocumented error).
According to the dealer this can be that i have not properly closed the
gas tank Knob.
Does any one faced similar problem?
or is there something else which needs to be fixed.
Drivewise i am not seeing any noticeable problems yet.

2) Does any one has idea how much it cost to change the breaks for the
Honda Accord.
Whats the cheapest way to get it done.

It's a CAP, not a "knob". And it ought to be tightened six clicks or more
each time it's put back. The official number is three clicks, but don't go
by that.

Two common problems arising immediately after fillups:
1) Gas cap insufficiently tight
2) Raw gas fed into EVAP canister due to overfilling.

BRAKES, not "breaks". About $150 to $350 depending on what needs to be
done.

Do it yourself, of course.
