Description of the problem	The gas tank door often gets stuck and won't open. It happened at least two dozen times to me. This is a safety concern because it happens when gas level is very low. One time it was near midnight and i was at a gas station in the very remote area. I was concerned about my safety. If you search online, you will see this is a widespread problem for vw and audi cars. It is evident that it is a design flaw that vw has refused to acknowledge it. It should be recalled and fixed permanently. Thank you for your attention.
