Yesterday went to fill up and the push feature on the fuel door would not open it. The door would pop out about 1/4 inch and would not release open even with a forceful tug. Played with it for some time pushing and couldn't get it to release. I actually left the gas station with no fuel. when I got home it worked fine so back to the gas station. Never had this Issue before and I go through fuel like its my job.

Anybody else have this issue? did a quick search with no luck.

it would be a mechanical issue. maybe something got stuck. if you can't find anything right away and you feel that it can be a real issue, just bring it in and let them look at it to see if they can find anything.

This almost got me once too. Make sure that all of your doors are unlocked. The lid/cover locks with the car's doors. Something they never told me.

Thanks I'll keep this in mind and if it doesn't work then I'll bring it in. I just thought the fuel door was always unlocked.

Nope! The fuel door only unlocks when your doors are unlocked as a security feature. There is an electrical tab that slides and lock the gas door when unoccupied (doors locked)...

Yup, happened to me before too!
The dealer did not give me any useful tips on my new car. Great service!
Had to read the manual.

It's a nice feature now that I know about it lol. I initially just assumed that there was no lock on the fuel door b/c there was no release. usually just pay at the pumps so the car is never locked.
