Can't open the gas cap cover by pressing the button. You have to have someone hold the button, and another person open the cap cover. Super annoying. A workaround if you have longer arms and you're by yourself, open the trunk and remove the black plastic mold/container on the bottom left side, and theres a wire you can pull to release the lock manually, while simultaneously open the gas cap cover.
The dealer suggested replacing the whole gas door unit. We declined. Instead we repaired it ourselves. It was a pain to get the pin back into the door mechanism though worth not having to spend money for a replacement door instead of just replacing the (holding) pin.
