Perhaps that is new with this model. On my 2010, it opens at any time. If I remember correctly, the system is designed so only a gas nozzle or the funnel can force the flap in the filler neck open. I believe there is a Ford locking gas cap part for those who want extra security.Relax! It only pops open if you push it AND your car is unlocked.
This would be nice!Relax! It only pops open if you push it AND your car is unlocked.

Sounds like a diagnosis trip at the service department might be in order.Sometimes it doesn't even recognize the gas nozzle!
Every once in awhile it'll lock up when I'm trying to put gas in it..the silver stopper literally won't budge. I don't jam. It in there to make it work but I do have to insert it and take it out a few times before it'll let me in *shrug*.
I don't think it's that smartMaybe its my car telling me to stop using shell gas ?

Yeah, this is not a new feature.Easy Fuel® System
With this system, push to open the fuel door, insert the nozzle and begin
fueling. It is self-sealing and therefore protected against dust, dirt, water,
snow and ice. Wait 5–10 seconds from the time the refueling nozzle is shutoff
until you remove the nozzle from the vehicle to allow residual fuel in the
nozzle to drain into the tank. When using a portable fuel container, slowly
insert the fuel funnel (located in the spare tire compartment), and pour the
fuel into the funnel.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will not work with the
Easy Fuel
It's in the trunk lift the cover for the spare and on the drivrers side you will see a black bracket with white in it . The white part slips out and is the funneli tried to look for this funnel tonight but could not locate it
