Fuel Cap Check

I have recently experienced a situation where after filling up, I drive like a couple of miles, then I get this warning red message to check fuel cap. I once stopped car and checked the cap, which was nice and snug, but I took it off anyways and reinserted it back in. After that all was well, until I refueled once again and the same thing happened, so I was at the light, so I quickly put car in park, turned it off, then back on, and the warning was gone. The 3 times it happened, it occurred immediately after I had put gas in car.

What could be going on here?
