Description of the problem	Gas cap lid does not open. We took the auto into dealership june 30, 2015 and gave them tsb-09-60-15. Mileage 5987. Temps in the 70's. They greased the gas lid contact. I indicated the tsb indicated something other than that. They took back into shop and ground down the lid release contact. Drove home. Tried to open gas cap lid and it would not open. We are concerned about driving auto any distance by oneself because it now takes two people to put gas into auto. One to pull up lever and one to pry open the lid on the outside. I am seeing numerous problems with several other subaru models besides the legacy. Such a simple manufacturing flaw should be able to be fixed. Love the auto but this is really really an annoying simple flaw. One person's comment on a tsb pertaining to this issue said if the lube and grinding does not fix the issue, the entire cap assembly needs to be replaced. I have not discussed this with the dealer yet. This issue happens in all temps. Currently 60 in garage and cap does not open. Mileage 10365.
