problem #1

Forte S 2.0L

I've been having problems with opening the fuel door by inside release lever. I had taken it to dealer and they found it was not always opening. They replaced a part and said it is "opening improvement." Next, gas fill-up, and the same problem, had to pull lever multiple times and did not open. I had friend with me, who pushed on the fuel door while I pulled lever and got it to open.

I took it back to the dealer and an employee tried it and first attempt did not open, so they kept attempting and he pushed on door and it popped open. Then, multiple tries and it opened all the time for them. Next gas fill-up, does not open and had to push on fuel door. So, it still does not work properly.
