| Description of the problem | I was pumping gas and my child inside the car hit the drivers side sliding door button to open the sliding door. The door is supposed to stop and not open when the gas cover is open. My sliding door failed to deactivate and the sliding door continued to automatically open smashing the gas pump inside the sliding door and the gas tank opening. All mean while fuel is pumping into the car. This bent the gas cover luckily didn't spark a fire due to friction. However now i have to slam the gas cover to get it to shut as some times doors now will not open automatically because the gas cover is not latched shut. Once we bent the door as best we could back in place at least to allow it to latch back shut. The doors will automatically open and shut as they should. I have had this occur multiple times. This is a big safety risk especially if you are pumping gas when this happens. |
