I have a 2021 armada platinum. I recall the fuel door locking when I purchased it a few months ago. I took my vehicle to a dealer and got oil change and tires rotated. I spoke to the service department about the fuel door not locking when the vehicle was locked. I was told that armada doesn’t have locking fuel door. My manual indicates that you can lock all doors including the fuel door. My fuel door looked when I purchased the vehicle, now it doesn’t. What going on?
