Over the past month my area has received a lot of snow and I've had difficulty closing the fuel panel and trunk when ice gets into the gaps...Today I legitimately took several minutes in the parking lot trying to close the trunk after opening it a minute prior to get out an ice scraper. Any similar experiences/solutions?

No problems.

I had an issue today while filling up with gas when the gas door wouldn't open. i had to press on the cap a few times real hard and wedged my finger in the gap and force it open. I did see ice had formed by the hinge and thats what caused it.

Its weird because last winter i had no such problems with the gas door opening but i did have a problem with the gas door closing. i would fill up the car and after a few days of driving i would notice the gas door slightly open all by itself. This happened every week and so i took it to the dealer and they couldn't replicate the issue and found no problem.

Hopefully both these issues do not replicate again, but i doubt it.

Yes, today it was 8 degrees in cleveland ohio and went to stop and get gas, lid was sealed shut, water got in opening, and froze. Had to drive home, poor hot water on it, opened and dried it off, and went and got gas again. lol

+1 Luckily, I was able to pop it open and pour gas. Happened yesterday morning and it was like 10 degrees

Happened during our ice storm in 2013 (for obvious reasons), but no freezing up of the trunk or fuel lid since.
