THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN SENT TO MERCEDES CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE All of the following has started happening since an exhaust recall was done by Mercedes. In September 2022, we were driving cross country to Denver Colorado and enough codes piled up in the background that we went into limp mode in the middle of 70 MPH highway traffic. This happened without warning and was an extreme safety concern. But I was lucky to be near an exit and already in the right lane. I reset these codes and finished going to Denver the next day. The two Sprinter dealers in Denver were backlogged several weeks; so we spent over $600 trying to troubleshoot the issues with Colorado Fleetworks, a qualified Sprinter specialist. He checked codes too; ran other diagnostics; replaced the fuel filter and air filter even though they had been done only 10,000 miles earlier; and performed a forced DPF regeneration. He also replaced the DPF pressure sensor. This work did not help change the daily multiple code proble

IN JUNE OF 2020 THIS VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE, ORIGINATING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ACCORDING TO MY DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS RESULTING IN NO BODILY HARM AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY PAID ME A SETTLEMENT AND IS STILL INVESTIGATING LAST I HEARD. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE TWO WHEEL SPEED SENSORS OUT OF POCKET THAT MY LOCAL DEALER DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY DEALER DID EVENTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED, BUT REFUSE TO REIMBURSE SINCE THEY DIDN'T DO THE WORK.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RAIN AND 3 MESSAGES DISPLAYED ON THE DASH: 1) ESP (ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM) VISIT WORKSHOP, 2) ASR (ACCELERATION SLIP REGULATION) ICON VISIT WORKSHOP AND 3) ABS (ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM) VISIT WORKSHOP. ALSO RECEIVED COLLISION AVOIDANCE ASSIST INOPERATIVE NOTIFICATION. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND EXPERIENCED UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION AND ERRATIC GEAR SHIFTING RESULTING IN EXTREMELY UNSAFE OPERATION. LATER, MERCEDES SERVICE DETERMINED THE LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WAS THE PROBLEM (SEE ATTACHED). DIAGNOSIS AND FIX WAS $473.99 PLUS TAX. THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SPRINTERS ESPECIALLY IF UPLIFTED TO RV. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS AN ONGOING NHTSA INVESTIGATION OF THIS PROBLEM. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THESE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO THEIR EFFECT ON ESP, ASR, ABS AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE ASSIST CAUSING UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION AND ERRATIC GEAR SHIFTING WHICH RESULTS IN EXTREMELY UNSAFE OPERATION.
