Hi, Is anyone having problem in fueling, the gas pump shuts off in its position, one has to try different angles and even then it shuts off. I have noticed this works only in some gas stations but then also its not consistent, as a result am unable to fill gas and have to try 2-3 places before getting my tank full.

Please let me know if you have faced a similar situations, MBUSA says its a known problem and blames it on smaller nozzles of gas pumps in California

I've encountered it 3 or 4 times in California and I think each time I was at a Chevron station. But like you said, if you try different angles I always get the tank full.

Yes problems at Chevron. At Costco, I just have to align the nozzle perfectly perpendicular to inlet and it works fine.

I've actually encountered this with the 2013 C300 4Matic that I drove before my 2016 GLC 300 4Matic, but since it only happened at one particular gas station, I determined it was an issue with the gas station's pump, not the car. I don't go to that gas station, and so I've never had this problem with my GLC. I DO think that the issue at the one gas station was that the pump nozzle was indeed kind of small so it did not fit very securely.
