Why does my Gas Flap keep opening...
.... while I'm driving. Than when I come to a stop I notice that everytime I have to close the flap. Does this happen to anyone?
My car was built on Friday, June 13th. Someone musta been lazy and not installed it correctly.:iono:

Set your car to auto lock while you're driving. My gas flap locks when the car is locked, so if the car is locked when you're driving then it shouldn't be able to open at all.

the auto lock feature while driving keeps the little latch for the flap open. So if you are getting gas you dont need to unlock your doors. If you use the key fob to lock the car while parked it than will lock the flap.

You shouldn't have to "autolock" to get the gas door to stay closed. I do not have the "autolock" feature enabled and I have never had my gas door open while driving.
Take it to the dealer and get it fixed....there is something wrong.

My guess is that it wants 116 race gas.
