So, the C7 gas door solenoid working intermittently bug got me. If you've pulled into a gas station to fill up and the gas door doesn't open, it will send a sense of "fear" up your spine. I took it to a local Chevrolet dealer and was told that the "entire gas door assembly" needed to be replaced. Oh, and this would include the gas door itself, which of course would have to be painted. (Really?)
The question is, has anyone else been told this? I know there are "fixes" out there with suggestions of "plugging the hole" with a "body plug," but I would be interested in ... fixing it. I've googled this to death and all I'm finding is that the solenoid (PN: 22847380) needs to be replaced and you're good to go. The dealer is telling me it's a "fully assembled unit" and that includes the gas door AND the solenoid. So, hmmmmmm... what's the true story? What's "really" needed as far as parts are concerned? Has anyone had a (dealership) experience to share? Thank you in advance!
