Consumer Description

ON THE MORNING OF MARCH 1, 2005 I ATTEMPTED TO FILL MY GAS TANK. I PUSHED THE FUEL ACCESS DOOR RELEASE LEVER AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I ATTEMPTED THIS SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS. I CONTACTED A HONDA DEALER LATER IN THE DAY AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO HIM. HE SUGGESTED I GET ANOTHER PERSON TO JIGGLE THE DOOR WHILE I PRESSED THE LEVER AS HONDA HAD A KNOW FUEL ACCESS DOOR ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAD TO BREAK THE DOOR OPEN SO THAT I COULD ADD FUEL TO THE VEHICLE. AFTER BREAKING OPEN THE DOOR I NOTICED THAT PRESSING THE RELEASE LEVER DID NOT RETRACT WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE POST WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE FUEL ACCESS DOOR TO OPEN. *JB
