Default I've got a new problem to report! Yeah!

Not sure if this was posted ever but, I think it's new...
Yesterday, while I was about to turn my car off, I needed to get something out of the trunk. So, I reached over to the panel with the gas cap release, (now inoperative -&gtmotion alarm button, and trunk release button. I pushed the trunk button, and nothing. I tried again, nothing. I tried the GAS CAP, NOTHING. I turned off the car, started it back up, NOTHING WORKED. Uh oh, I can't get gas. There's no manual release and nothing on the key remote to open the gas cap. Then I thought about the TT's computer for a second and the commonly reported window problem. So, I turned off the car, armed the alarm, disarmed the alarm, and turned the car back on. BINGO! The buttons worked. I just had to 'reboot' the car again. Ugh...
Just wanted to let everyone know and let me know if you've ever had this problem...
What stress?!?! I thought that I wasn't going to be able to get any more gas and have to drive straight to a dealership to get it fixed...

There's also a trunk release (I think) under the cupholder in the center console.

Default Yup, happened to me a few weeks ago.

Didn't try to reboot, I just released the cap manually.
Worked when I got home.
