“Gas servicing door will not open when fuel door release is pulled under drivers seat. Worked good for about 6 to 7 months then stopped working. Took in to dealer he was supposed to fix it. Did not. This could be a real problem if you cannot pry open the fuel door to service the door. This is a common occurrence from what is on the web. 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring.”
