Sticky fuel filler door. To the point where you press the release button repeatedly and it refuses to open. Dealer lubricated and it’s a bit better, but it still happens. If it continues to happen, dealer will replace door under warranty if I bring it back under 60K miles.

Bought a $9 file from Home Depot and filed 1mm of plastic material from the pointy end of the plastic pin holding the fuel filler door closed - the electric release doesn't pull the pin back far enough without this.
