Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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
