    Did you lock and then unlock the doors when it does that. If you accidently push down the lock button on the driver-side door, the gas cover may not open.

      Pull back the trunk lining on the right side and put your hand about where the fuel fill door is. You will fell as small solenoid/plunger that moves very easily by touch.

      As stated their is a wire that opens the fuel door inside the trunk. The problem is a rubber gromet in the pin on the door. It is a common problem if it's still under warranty let the dealer do it.
