What are some of the hyundai santa fe fuel door release problems?

Opening the fuel door on some model years of the Hyundai Santa Fe is, in my professional opinion, convoluted and pointlessly complex. You'll need to gain access to the trunk area, pry open a trim panel, pull a release cord, and then finally gain access. Many drivers report leaving this trim panel off in order to make it a simpler procedure during each fill up. Predictably, with the addition of each new safety feature, there is introduced more potential for new things to break or go wrong. The release cord is particularly prone to breakage, and it's not easily accessible without removing rear panels. Furthermore, the fuel door itself may become rusty, which can compromise its integrity over the long term.
