Question about fuel filler lid

Sorry if i post this in the wrong place. Everytime the car is locked made sure the car is locked the whole car is sopused to be locked even the fuel filler lid. But when i go to test out to see if the fuel filler is really locked its not i push and the lid opens. Is there something wrong? Defective lid covered under warranty? Please help thanks

i've noticed that if you push the fuel door a few times while its locked..and you push unlock on your remote, it'll automatically pop open. dont know if this was by design or my door is fawked too

That's because the door is a push in to close, push in to open kind of latch. You just happened to end up in the push to open situation with the locking peg keeping it from springing opening. If you would've pushed it in one more time, it wouldn't have sprung open when you unlocked the doors. The open/close mechanism is different from the locking actuator.
