ok..so there is a fuel release lever inside the car that you are supposed to push down to get the fuel door to release.

well, half the time it doesn't work and i end up standing there pushing the dam lever down like 10 times before it will open.

I brought it to the dealership and they said it needed some silicone because the release was "dry"... that worked for a short time and it came back. Thankfully i only need to get gas once every 2 weeks..but i'm going to bring it back and ask that they replace the entire mechanism. I've read on diff website that some other people have had the same problem.
