The van engine was on and idling while heating up with the van heater blower on level 6 (out of 7). After about 45 minutes, I saw a haze first and then smelled smoke. Unsure of the source, I turned the vehicle off and exited with my dog. I opened the hood to look for smoke in the engine bay.

Had hardly driven it 100 miles or 5 times since then when I noticed it was not always going into park. One recall had to do with not going in park when you push park button while foot on brake. I was not having that problem until the MB Sprinter dealership did the recall work.

No safe! https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-sprinter-2500 https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-sprinter-2500#complaint-2140174 Wed, 15 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT While driving in the freeway, the crosswind assist feature over-engaged and skewed the vehicle dangerously while also drastically slowing the vehicle and causing a hazardous near collision with the following vehicle. The system is way too aggressive and cannot be turned off or desensitized. https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-sprinter-2500 https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-sprinter-2500#complaint-2139463 Tue, 14 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT The van has a cross wind assist mode. When it activates it aggressively activates only one front wheel brake so dramatically that the van dives down and swerves out of the lane into the adjacent lane. The front wheel happened to be on wet pavement and it was chattering from braking so hard and not getting traction. I passed a slower motorcycle on the road and the crosswind assist almost caused me https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-sprinter-2500 https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-sprinter-2500#complaint-2139464 Tue, 14 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT The van has a cross wind assist mode.

There is a Crosswind Assist feature on the van that is downright dangerous. When it engages it breaks and corrects the vehicle in a way that will result in an actual crash, worse than what the feature is intended to do. This could be a great feature if it didn’t cause more harm than good. It overcorrects. Almost caused me to hit another vehicle and run off the road. https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-sprinter-2500 https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-sprinter-2500#complaint-2137067 Tue, 07 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT one or more of the rear-wheel speed sensors may experience an electrical failure, which potentially could lead to a disablement of the Electronic Stability Control (“ESP”) control unit functions.
