Next time it sticks look at the gap around the door. Mine was off by a tiny bit, but it was enough. Since I discovered this slight misalignment, every time I close the door, I make sure all is lined up. I have not had the door stick since.

 

Just picked up a used 2014 Durango that also has this issue I noticed the door not sitting evenly in the opening. However, even when closing it with everything aligned, it still does not want to open. Have to have someone push the release and then have someone pry the door. So frustrating!! Just talked to the dealer, as it was his wife's and he says she just pryed the door open without pushing the button...well thanks for the info in advance!! And how can you pry without releasing the latch. Grrr.

Thanks Burgh Boy. I will double check next time. I went to my local dealer again today a week or so after the silicone spray. Of course it opened everytime the tech tried it. I went directly to gas station to fill up giving me another week of not having to worry about it! Next time it happens, they said they would replace the door and the actuator. They thought it was tempertaure sensitve, but I first complained soon after I bout the Durango in October....

 

Also mine is not opening, i can hear the sound but the door is not going out , i think they shoud make recall since it is wide problem.

 

I'm not sure it's that wide spread . However on ours(along with many things, Chrysler ended up giving us a lifetime warranty w $0 deductible) the button wasn't even connected at the dash.

I too am having this issue. Dealership ordered a new door. It will have to be painted. No telling how long this will take. Argh!

 

I have the same issue. I will get it fixed next time I bring it in for service. On my DD it appears that the latch is not releasing enough to open the fuel door. To get the door open I lift the fuel door upwards and then I'm able to open it by pressing the fuel door button. It may take 1-2 times to get it open.

 

I'll be keeping an eye on mine. Just filled it last night when filling all my gas cans for my tractor. Out of curiosity, what kind of mileage is everyone experiencing this issue at?

 

About 31,000.

 

my wife's fuel door acted up tonight for me. I had to press the button 3 times to get the door to actually pop open. I heard the typical opening noises on each of my first 2 tries, but alas the fuel door was closed and locked.

We are in a 2015, with 1400 miles on it. this is only the 3 time we've filled the tank. Ours is a lease, so I'm not concerned in the least about it.

 

Make sure the door is aligned. Mine was not which is what cause the issue for me.

 

Mine is very loose in the open position. It's like the hinge is only connected on the top. I'm sure this could cause misalignment issues.

 

I just had the fuel door and spring replaced under warranty. The door would not pop open, so I used a credit card to pry it open. Another symptom was the fuel door was very loose when in the open position (felt like it was hanging on by a thread).

 

Mine too!! Should push the dealer to replace this as it was broken when delivered to me He's a smaller used car dealer specializing in 4x4 trucks mostly. It's got 69k, so past the factory warranty for that

Same issue, came here for answersssss.......wtf why is this happening. It's a 10 minute fight everytime I fuel up.

 

I have a '15 Citadel & it does this too. Slackness in the hinges or cable is my guess. My fix is to pry a corner with my wallet & hit the button again. Voila! Works every time
