I leased a 2016 LX sedan at the beginning of 2016 and put 61,000 miles on it. In the winter of 2018-2019 my fuel door lock froze in in the locked position. It was only 19 degrees F outside. When it warmed up it started working again.
I traded that car in for a used 2017 Si this year. A couple months ago the fuel door mechanism remained in the locked position permanently.
I’ve been prying my fuel door open at the pump with my fingers for the last month and a half while waiting for an appointment at my dealer. Seems like a common issue? Looks pretty sketchy when you have to force your fuel door open at a crowded gas station.
Actuator had to be ordered and should be fixed tomorrow. In the meantime i got a 19 accord sport 1.5T CVT loaner. Wasn’t impressed with it at first but once I started messing with the different modes, it is surprising decent.
Other posts i’ve seen reported loud noises from the actuator before it went bad. Mine was just a complete surprise and just wouldn’t open at the pump one day.
