Pilot Fuel Flap Issue

Hello, I have a 2010 Honda Pilot with a gasoline engine. The fuel flap release isn't working. An error is stored, locking/unlocking is impossible, and some car functions are unavailable. Mileage: 60466 km. I suspect a defective linkage, if it has one.

A 2010 Honda Pilot owner experienced a malfunction with the fuel flap release, which also affected some minor convenience features. The issue was suspected to be a defective linkage, a less common problem. After further investigation, it was confirmed that the linkage was indeed defective, and the repair was completed at a cost of 210€.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Whoa, that sounds like a pain! Electrical gremlins are the worst. When you say 'some car functions,' what exactly isn't working? Did this just start happening out of the blue, or did anything precede it? Like, a car wash, a really bumpy road, anything?

Other functions affected are minor convenience features. It started suddenly. Is a defective linkage a common issue on these?

Hmm, convenience features AND a fuel door that won't open... yeah, sounds electrical more than mechanical now that you mention it started suddenly. Defective linkages aren't super common, but honestly, with those symptoms, I'd bet on a faulty actuator or wiring issue. Could be a fuse, but probably time to get it checked at a workshop. Sorry to say!

Thanks for the info. I had it checked; the repair cost 210€. It was indeed a defective linkage.
