Default Fuel Door Poping Open?

As anyone had this issue, I have shut the rear hatch and have had the fuel door come open once and on two other occurense while I was opening the driver door it came open?

Sounds like an issue. Anyone at Chevrolet listening?

Once. I dismissed it as weird, but now I know to check on it to see if it continues to happen. The cockpit is tightly sealed, so the pressure from closing a door or closing the hatch has to go somewhere, but popping the fuel door is NOT the right place.

Someone suffering with this should probably post it up to the Issues & Resolutions sticky
