“I recently bought a used 2022 Mercedes A220 and brought it to a dealership on 09/18 to address a recall notice; I was informed the recall remains pending and cannot be resolved until around November 2026. The following day, 09/19, I attempted to refuel for the first time and found the fuel door stuck shut after one week and four days of ownership.”
