richie350 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 When I depress the remote on my 2007 ES350 to open the fuel door the door does not spring open. I can hear the clicking sound of the button so I know its working. It seems the door has lost its tension at the clip which pushes the door open. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution? Thanks for the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use your warranty at your local dealer. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambert61 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I had the exact same issue. My gas cap was attached with a plastic strap-like connector. I had to take that off. It was tangling behind the gas tank cover and wouldn't allow the cover to pop open on it's own. Have never had another problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
