just as the title says.. it just wont open.. lever moves freely as if it were already open.. im very low on gas and need help...someone anyone..

 

someone clipped the line? it snapped?

check the run of cable see if its snapped.

 

Common problem on 7th gens. I had this happen to mine already, pull away the trunk carpet lining and you can pull the little tab out that holds the gas tank shut.

really..was it under warranty by any chance and you didnt realize it or did u really just explain that to them and they fixed it like whatever

 

All Honda does is replace the entire cable. It has a faulty design, so it'll just break again.

 

yea im just gona go buy that quick fix thing

 

I bought my car new and it happened at 50k miles. It wasnt under warranty anymore, and I just said I heard it happens all the time. They fixed it for free instead of $180, but I do a LOT of business w/ that dealer so they mightve hooked me up.

new cable is slightly different, has like a protective tape to help keep the part that always breaks from corroding

 

Just stick ur hand in there, feel for the wire and the plug, turn it 180 degrees, and pull. The lid should pop open.
