Hmmmm, DId you re-lock and unlock the doors? Try to open it with the engine running? Is there a button in the glove box like for the trunk? Never had that happen to me...

I'll see what I can find when I get a chance to get to my car..

It just a push pin that pops it out and I think a small magnet that holds it in place....

Yea.. i've unlocked and locked the doors, turned the car on.. left a door open, popped the trunk.. pretty much everything lol. I can't open it, and i really dont feel like prying it open in case i break something. bleh.. luckily the gas station is 30 seconds from my house or i would have been screwed..

there was a thread about this a while back. I'm pretty sure that if you pop the trunk and pull back the lining, there's a button or something that you can use to manually release the latch to open the gas door.

That happened to me two weeks ago. Dealer will replace it under warranty don't break anything. look to see if you see my post about it. Look inside the trunk, take off the right side carpet molding. get a ice pick and remove all the push pins in the area two for the trunk cargo net hooks and 3-4 for the carpet molding. After you remove it you will see a white actuator lock there is a small **** or button on the right of it push or pull it gently and it will unlock the door. Mine failed cause after that It would NOT lock Dealer replaced it no probs just don't break the lock cause they won't replace it.

If this happens to you guys again, just stick a credit card in the gap. It worked for me and haven't had a problem with it again.
