3 PROBABLE FAULTS.

2.FAULTY SWITH{{U KNOW WHERE IT IS}
3.FAULTY WIRING.

I had the same problem...brought it back to the dealership (had an extended warranty) and they just made an adjustment. No problems since!

Open the trunk and pull back the drivers side liner inside of the trunk. You can follow the black cable to the fuel door. When you reach a black wing tipped connector you twist the 90 degrees and it will pop out and the door will open.
What was the original problem?

You may find a release for the fuel filler door in the trunk. Look behind the carpet on the side the filler is on and at about the same level.

The release cable is sticking or broken. To release the fuel door, open the trunk and pull off the fabric liner on the left side of the trunk. Behind this liner is the fuel door release cable; this cable leads to the fuel door and attaches with a twist-lock connector. It is cylindrical with two tabs. Twist the connector clockwise about 90 degrees and it should pull out, releasing the door.
Just remember, the fuel door will not stay closed until you put the connector back in.

You'll have to remove the trim on the inside of the car right behind the fuel tank in order to release it manually.
If you're lucky, the cable may have separated either at the fuel door, or at the lever and you may be able to run a new cable by threading it through the old one. Otherwise, you'll have to remove all the trim to trace the cable. You may also be lucky and that the cable runs under the bottom of your car
