Lexus GS 2013+ :: Gas Door Stuck Closed

So I was heading to the airport and needed gas and was in a bit of a hurry to get my flight. I pressed on the gas door as usual expecting it to pop open a bit it didn't! It only pressed in more but did not pop out. I started to panic as I was low on gas and did not have a lot of time to get my flight. I looked in the trunk for some type of emergency release but did not see anything.

I locked and unlocked my door a few times in the hopes it would release somehow but it did not change and I did not notice the usual click from the gas door area. Finally I was able to force the door open with my fingers and get gas. Now when closing the door again it does not sit flush but is sitting in a slightly open position. I'm scared to mess with it more in case it locks shut again and I can't get gas.

I'm shocked this part would stop working the car is only two years old, 2013 with luxury package.

Lexus IS 2014+ :: Door Chimes Go Off When Car Shut Down

Sometimes the door chimes go off when I shut my car off, almost as if I left the lights on or the keys in the ignition (if that were possible), but other times it does not. What I am doing differently. There are no warnings on the display like Window or Moonroof open. My headlights are always on auto.

Lexus ES 2013+ :: Turning Off Auto-Tilt Steering Wheel For Entry / Exit

How to turn this off? I managed to turn off the driver's side auto-slider but can't figure out how to turn off the steering wheel portion. I'm not a big fan of the entry/exit assist. I kind of feel that all that movement will wear out the motor over time. Perhaps I'm just being paranoid.

Lexus GS 2013+ :: Battery Drained Itself Overnight For No Reason

I went to start my GS in the garage this morning and nothing happened. I couldn't even open the trunk or turn on any interior lights. I checked the battery with a multi-meter and it shows 5.25V. So for whatever reason, the battery drained itself overnight. I'm positive no lights were left on or doors left open. So this is a total mystery to me.

What might have caused this? Also, how to open the trunk after the battery dies. The car has been great for the first 7k miles and problem free until now.

Yesterday went to fill up and the push feature on the fuel door would not open it. The door would pop out about 1/4 inch and would not release open even with a forceful tug. Played with it for some time pushing and couldn't get it to release. I actually left the gas station with no fuel. when I got home it worked fine so back to the gas station. Never had this Issue before and I go through fuel like its my job.

Honda - Accord :: Driver Door Light Sometimes Stays On When Door Is Closed

This seems to happen a lot when it gets really cold out. Started happening a few weeks ago. Sometimes if I notice the light starts to flicker on, at a stoplight I'll open the door, push down the rubber button that triggers the light, and shut the door. It'll usually stay off for a little bit.

I noticed that there's a little dent on the door where it presses against the button, and I'm wondering if that's a possible reason why this issue is happening.

I have a 1997 Honda Accord LX....

Lexus IS 2014+ :: How To Turn Off Freeway Exit Information On Nav

Is it possible to turn off the freeway exit info on the nav? This is the info that shows up when you are in a long stretch and it shows POIs in between your current location and the exit that you will take. I do not like that it takes up half of the screen to display info I do not need.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Auto Entry / Exit Seat - Steering Wheel Goes Up Automatically

In the 2011 GS 350, where is the setting to make the seat go back for easy exit? The steering wheel goes up automatically which I guess is set by the dealer but I can't find in the manual how to get the seat to go back when car is turned off. I have the seat positions set but need the seat to go back too. I know this is a feature in some Lexus, is it available in 2011 GS350?

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Seatbelt Got Closed Between The Door

So my partner got out of the car today and SLAMMED the door behind him (something I've gotten after him about many many times!) This time though the seatbelt managed to get stuck between the door. This has caused a nick on the inside door panel thingy (close to where the latch is) obviously this cannot be seen unless you open the door and look at it. Is there any action I should take for this or just leave it alone?

Lumina :: Driver Door Is Stuck Closed And Won't Open

The door handle isn't broken as far as I can tell, I just went to get in the car one day, put the key in the door lock, turned it to the right like I always do and the door wouldn't open. After trying a few times I went to the passenger side and got in, hit the unlock button to unlock all the doors and the driver door still wouldn't open. I took the trim piece off (the little piece that covers the door lock) the inside of the door and attempted to manually unlock the door by pulling the rod but to no avail.

What I should do next? It seems like I would have to have the door open to get whole inside door panel off so I'm not really sure what to do.
