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).

 

The dealer fixed mine. Fits perfectly flush now. It needed a new fuel filler houseing if I remember correctly.

Best of luck getting your sorted.

 

I've been denied twice. Same as above...some good ones on the lot and some bad one. They say they wouldn't know what to do to fix it.

 

I was told the same, they didn't know how to fix it and to live with it.

 

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's my whole top half---all the way across

 

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?

 

I noticed mine wasn't flush, but I didn't think it was bad enough to warrant a visit to the dealer. Yesterday, the door wouldn't open at the gas station. Now it IS bad enough to warrant a trip to the dealer. We'll see how it goes...

 

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.

 

Great I've got fuel drops hardened all over the paint and rear windows coming from a warped fuel filler lid :-( I've taken a photo how do I post it so you guys can see

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.

 

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.

I just had mine fixed, a 2014 Grand Cherokee Limited and it was sticking out about 1/4" or more. Even worst I could see in in the side mirror which drove me nuts. One of the older guys at Crowley in Bristol CT. had seen and fixed several of these before. It is the "fuel filler housing" and since they had one in stock they replaced it in less than an hour and did not even have to remove the interior trim to do so. It looks perfect like when I bought it and even better, my extended warranty covered it. If you have the extended warranty insist they do this.
