“If u open the lever inside the car to open the door to open it wouldn't open. It happen two times with me. I have to drive it to the dealers to open it. I'm glad I just have enough fuel to get there. To me this is a nerve breaking. U can get stuck if you are far driving and u cannot open the door to put gas. Now I bring it to the dealer service again they say that the cable going to open is wear out or broke. It's a week now the cable is not coming yet. They open the door for my had tank but I cannot close it. …”
