gas tank door sticks ??

i dont know why but when i push down on the gas tank release in the drivers side, it
takes about 4-5 times before the gas tank door will open.
any ideas as to what this might be from, or how to fix ??

Nuts is an unknown quantity at this point
take a look at it when its open. mine works fine. soemthing may be out of place or making it stick to the latch. or just take it to the dealer if its uner warranty. i can't say much without seeing it.
