Orlando fuel flap issue

Blast! My 2016 Chevrolet Orlando (gasoline engine) is giving me grief. The fuel flap release isn't working. I get an error message, and it's completely stuck! Plus, a few other car features are acting up. Mileage is at 218499 km. Anyone seen this before?

The problem is identified as a defective linkage, a common issue with this model. The recommended solution is to have the vehicle inspected and repaired at a workshop, which typically costs around 210€.

Oh dear, that sounds familiar! I own an Orlando as well, although not a 2016. I had similar issues with my fuel filler flap a while back – locking and unlocking became impossible. It was quite frustrating!

Interesting! So, the flap just wouldn't budge? Did you also notice other systems acting wonky at the same time?

Exactly! The flap was completely jammed. If I remember correctly, the other issues were minor annoyances but there nonetheless. Given the symptoms, and if the diagnosis points to a defective linkage, which seems plausible, I'd strongly suggest getting it checked out by a workshop. The cost might be around 210€.

Right, thanks for the confirmation and suggestion. I'll book it in. Turns out it was the linkage and that cost me indeed 210€! Cheers!
