problem #2

2009May 09

Civic EX

  • Manual transmission
  • 76,546 miles

The cable release for the fuel door in my 2002 Honda Civic EX stopped working (naturally my gas gauge was on Empty when it happened). A mechanic friend of mine looked at it and after removing the cap from the release end of the cable (found inside the trunk, behind the carpeted paneling) he deduced that the cable didn't actually snap, but may have just been stretched causing it to cease working. (When we tested it by pressing the release without the cap on the mechanism worked fine, but ceased working when we placed the cap back on it). I'm working on getting a replacement installed now.

Civic DX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 66,860 miles

Went to fill up my tank with gas, and was unable to open the cover to the gas tank. I have pulled back the trunk lining, and can see the mechanism, but have no idea how to remove it. After researching this online, I can see this is a common problem with Honda vehicles and am pissed that I will probably have to pay to have this fixed when it sounds like it a faulty design.
