Hi. Thanks so much for the information.
Does the 2011 model have a EMERGENCY GAS TANK CAP RELEASE LEVER? If so, where can I find it?
I am having the same issue with my 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe. The lever is not working and I don't have an emergency gas tank release lever. Did you happen to find a solution?
Same issue yesterday on the 2011. Today I popped the rear panel with a screwdriver, and even searched around inside with a scope with no success finding the handle. Using a screwdriver I pryed the next panel (bottom rear) open and it broke where it appears to be screwed from the rear. I was able to reach in and feel around without success. I pryed (top rear) and broke to be able to pry open and was able to reach in and just pull slightly on the release cable which worked. I can see no manual release cord anywhere. I taped up the door so the latch won't grab. I plan to break the rest of the access panel to be able to afix a manual cable (until I can replace the driver lever which is pretty well broken now)
Hi, my 2020 cap won't open, please help.
