Gas Door Problem

Hi all...anyone having a problem with their fuel door not staying open when pumping gas? This just started on my '04 F-150 with 24K. Suggestions?

The fuel door has a return and hold spring that will come out of place, since your under warranty it should be no problem to fix, they just need to replace the fuel tank door hinge assembly. That is seperate from the door itself that is painted. Takes only 10 min to do this, provided thay are able to get to it right away.

Centerfield, you are lucky, mine broke @ 2k miles. It is an easy fix for the dealer just as xtrm1stang suggested. Just call ahead to make sure they have one in stock.
