Description of the problem	Gas station nozzles repeatedly get stuck in car gas tank when refueling. The gas station nozzle do not contain the spring around the nozzle, they are smooth with nothing on the nozzle that could catch on the car. It happens at all gas stations from 76 to costco gas. It takes 5-10 minutes to remove it with varying force and varying angles. Nozzle will spin around freely but will not release . Latest incident required extreme force 200lb man pulling with all body weight. This action caused the internal rolled metal that holds gas cab in to bend up and out which then prevented the gas cap from being screwed back on. It is unexplained how the rolled metal was able to latch to the gas station nozzle and then bend up and out (see picture) when again the gas station nozzle is smooth. When placing gas station nozzle into the car it slides in very smoothly with no hint it will not come out. There is a plastic piece in the car where the nozzle slips in between (see picture). This appears to be preventing the gas station nozzle from being removed but it does not explain the damage caused when removing gas station nozzle. A hammer was used (not safe with chance of spark but only way to bend it, pliers will not work) to bend back the metal (see picture) so that gas cap would seat properly. It is unclear at this moment if the car can be refueled or if damage needs to be repaired. Gas station attendant said "i see many mercedes have this problem". The problem appears to only happen in california. Traveling across country from washington dc to california, not one time did the nozzle get stuck in the car. It has been something i have previously just dealt with knowing each time i can get it out but takes 2-3 minutes. Note, i drive 3-5k miles a year.
