I am currently leasing a 2004 honda civic. not sure if the dealership will charge me money to fix this, but it happened just tonight, my gas tank door did not open when i pushed the latch downwards which normally opens the gas tank door. the gas tank door has no key entry so when i had a near empty tank today i was in big trouble. i opened up my trunk to access the gas tank door cable which was obviously having problems since i had to detach it to open the gas tank door. i have put gas in my car now, but its obvious the cable cord which leads from the latch to the gas tank door is not working. who pays for this, me or the dealership? i see no way that i or anyone else could have access to the cable to damage it. what do you think?

have you not tried to call the dealership. they would be able to tell you for sure. really i don't know why it wouldn't be covered by warranty unless yours is already run out. calling would be alot easier and give you a better answer than everyone on here guessing. unless someone is actually a honda service manager.

I would think its not covered by any warranty but check then if you need to fix yourself try using a silicone based spray lubricant see also if you latch on the door its self is catching when u release it Good Luck

If it's still under warranty the dealer will sort it out for free. If it's out of warranty, it'll be on you.
