Gas Door Needs to be replaced
Gas Door Needs to be replaced
Has anyone had problems with their gas door? When I got my vibe a month ago, I had it parked in the driveway and noticed that my gas door was open. I originally thought I must have snagged on the latch release by the driver's seat. However, I found that if closed the back passenger door or the hatch, the gas door popped open. So, I had the dealer adjust the door. Went to fill up the tank, pulled the latch release and the door didn't open. I could pry it open with my credit card. Took it back to the dealer. After playing with it for a while, the tech concluded that the gas door needs to be replaced. So, they are ordering one, will paint it (hopefully it will match and not be a different shade!).Anyone else have problems with the gas door? Thanks.

I have to be careful when filling up not to open the door too far or mine pops out again. See: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=1378Carl
