I had this happen to me. I used the manual release in the trunk.
It works fine now, which makes me think in my case, that the problem is due to cold weather. It was quite a bit warmer last time I gassed up and it opened up no problem. The time that it did not open right up, it was a lot colder.

i really am starting to think that it has something to do with the cold weather bc any other time mine works fine only when its freezing...kinda makes you feel stupid to when your out there in the freezing cold and the damn gas thing wont open!

Mine crapped out this morning 
Fortunately I was a mile from my house and not on fumes. Gonna take out the trunk liner tomorrow and manually pop it.
Ok, yeah they replace it under warranty. But what happens when the warranty runs out? Are they replacing it with a better engineered unit or the same POS that will crap out every 3 years?
