On mine the spring broke. i have to pop the hatch, open the storage compartment, and reach in and pull the cable. But it sounds like yours the handle will not even pull?

The gas door is a common problem that I still havent seen any solutions for.

I had that issue before, the spring was bent. I had to carefully pry the door open and straighten the spring.
