My 2002 altima gas door is bent out of alignment. Anyone else having this problem?

My 2000 Altima has a problem with gas door although it looks closed it will from time to time pop open particularly distressing when going through a car wash because I always wonder if this time it will get ripped off. I don't attribute this to a door aligment problem but I think rather the latching mechanism is obviously failing to lock the gas door down properly everytime although it looks perfectly closed when it is obviously not!

I own a 2002 Maxima that has 30,000 miles and is still under warranty that has a gas door lid that is no longer flush and is very difficult to open. The dealer would not cover the cost to repair it under warranty and said that I should have oiled the hinges at every oil change. These instructions are no where to be found in an owner manual. Needless to say, I was not happy.
