The fuel cover on my Honda Civic 2016 pops open every time I unlock my doors. For some reason, the cover won’t stay latched. Is there anything I can do to keep this from happening? It’s a minor issue that does not seem worth the trip to a dealer. ---

There may be a short in your wiring between door locks and fuel tank cover. If so, your door locks will eventually fail. If it’s in warranty I’d get it fixed before any other problems occurr. ---

Open your owners manual and read up on how your car works. That may be a “feature” that can be turned on and off by you. The owners manual should tell you if that is the case.
