Gas tank cover vibration when unlocking
I have a 2017 LX and whenever I unlock my car, there is a buzzing sound on the lock of the gas tank cover which does not normally happen. What could have caused this?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

There is a power lock actuator that secures the fuel door when you lock the car.
Normal to hear it operate when you lock and unlock the car doors, unless it somehow broke and doesn't actually lock or unlock the fuel door.

There is a sound when I lock and unlock the car but right now it’s excessive sound. When i lock the doors it’s the normal sound but when i unlock it there is excessive vibrations which is not the usual. Could i post videos on this thread? Maybe it would help relay the information i am talking about

Have you opened the fuel door and operate the power locks to watch the actuator move?
Is it insanely cold where you are and/or the mechanism is frozen?
