Someone beat me to the manual release in the door jamb - it came right out in my hand. I did have luck by using the key in the door, but I'm just going to defeat the system. No other car I've owned locks the gas door. Well, the Toyota does a a lever by the seat but I doesn't function with the door locks.

Silly little feature.

Maybe the solenoid in the fuel filler door locking mechanism is bad. I broke the hair-thickness puller in the door jamb years ago, and being anal, decided to replace it. That gets you into the area where you can replace the solenoid as well. Tight fit.

I just cannot for the life of me believe all the issues I am having with the keys on my 2004 2.7 (had it 3wks)

Why oh why does one key work fine and unlock but the other "does whatever it feels like" - sometimes locks & unlocks all. Used direct in car door sets of alarm, yada yada

Think it must be a fob issue - not willing to pay porsche garage to get it put right as it will probable cost a mint.

anyone else had these problems??
