Has anyone successfully had their dealer replace their non-flush fuel door? Seen a lot of posts where the dealers are basically saying "live with it." Just wondering if it's worth bringing up when I go in.
fuel door

I've mentioned it twice now....and they've said they can't adjust it and 'live with it'. I pointed to one pre-delivery Summit on the lot which had a perfectly flush fuel door, but they also had another one where the door was not flush..like mine. If anyone manages to get a replacement on warranty I'll have another go next time I'm at the dealer (who is a good dealer and has been great addressing all the other software bugs, and rattles etc).
If the dealers are just saying they can't fix it, I suggest everyone with the problem contact Jeep. Not that it will get you an immediate fix, but if there are enough incidents it might prompt them to at least look for a solution.
If the filler housings are defective, Jeep will need to take it up with the vendor.

I agree with this course of action for any dealer that won't fix it. My fuel filler door isn't perfectly aligned but to me it's not so bad that I am worried about it. Now if people post some pics of what they are seeing I can compare mine to there's to see if I too need to talk to my dealer.

Is the door sticking out by the hinge part of the door? Is that what everyone is seeing?
Mine wouldn't open the other day. I started looking at it and the the metal piece that opens it just needed to be bent a little. If you bend it to far it makes the door stick out a little.

It was the whole upper part of the door for me but it was worst at the hinge end. The weird thing is that since commenting on it a couple of weeks ago, the GC has been mainly sitting in the garage and when I got it out the other day, the fuel door was fitting perfectly flush, just like when I first picked it up in September, even though I haven't touched it.

I know the 14's have some electrical gremlins but now the vehicle can fix itself?It was the whole upper part of the door for me but it was worst at the hinge end.

Hahahahaha!!!!
I have the same problem, but mine has frozen shut several times on me and my wife, 2 weeks ago we took a trip in nasty weather and the stopped for fuel but the door was frozen shut, had to buy deicer washer fluid and poor it on the door and wait for it to defrost.
Mine is in getting the door replaced. Dealer said parts are on backorder and expect it in next week. Being that it's on backorder I imagine many others are having an issue.
Mine looked like it was warped at both ends. Fit better at the bottom than the top. Looked like it stuck out almost the thickness of the painted door portion.
I made sure to take mine to a top notch dealership.

I was worried that if the door is not flush then water and dirt may settle in the capless filler....so I've made a cap for mine using drainpipe and a jar lid... not very sophisticated but.....
am attempting to attached pics....hopefully this works.

I've had my assembly replaced 3 times now and it's still screwed up. It get water inside and it's way off center. They are saying that Jeep is aware of the problem but no fix. So they told me to deal with it.

See the lid is closed and locked but the upper edge is not flush with the body but warped and bowed out away from the seal.
