| Description of the problem | Gas cap door does not unlock/open intermittently. Unfortunately, it's happened as my low gas warning light is on. The first incident after trying countless times at the pump i left back to home and the next morning the door was open. Took it to the shop and mb svc tech could not duplicate the problem. This morning it happened again,............ Took me about 20 mins of trying to open the lid (somewhat like a push spring-loaded type function) and when i gave up and put car into reverse it opened while in motion. What happens when i need gas and it doesn't open? |
