Gasoline Fuel System Problems of Suzuki Grand Vitara

Gas cover doesn't open after pulling lever from drivers seat. I've been to dealer and service manager says to push lever on hinge of cover. Had vehicle for 4 months now and have been pushing this thin metal back every time but at times it still will not open. Been to dealer 3 times now and he keeps telling me to push this thing back. Frustrated, I said that this is a terrible design, he said in return "Honda has same feature". I left.
