  MY 2007 DODGE SPRINTER SUFFERS FROM THE SAME WATER LEAK FROM THE ROOF AC SEAL. THE MERCEDES BENZ BUILT DODGE SPRINTER HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND MB AND DODGE SHUFFLE ME BACK AND FORTH TO EACH OTHER. MANY OWNERS HAVE PAID FOR MULTIPLE DEALER REPAIRS ONLY TO HAVE THE LEAK RETURN. A CLASS ACTION SUIT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL AGAINST MB, BUT THEY WILL NOT EXTEND THE REPAIRS TO DODGED BADGED MODELS. DODGE REFERS ME TO MB. THIS IS DANGEROUS PROBLEM BECAUSE A WATERFALL LEAK POURING INTO YOUR VAN CAN CAUSE A DRIVER TO LOOSE CONCENTRATION AND DRIFT INTO ANOTHER LANE. THE VAN'S ROOF AC TAKES ON WATER WHILE PARKED OR IN MOTION AND CAN DUMP SEVERAL CUPS OF WATER WHILE THE VAN IS IN MOTION.

  DRIVING FREEWAY AT 70MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE DOES WHAT SEEMS LIKE A STALL, QUICKLY DROPPING DOWN TO 35MPH AND CONTINUES TO SLOW DOWN AS WE MANEUVERED TO SIDE IF ROAD. THIS WAS VERY CLOSE TO CAUSING THE SEMI TRUCKS BEHIND US TO REAR-END US. WE PULLED OVER, DRIVING OFF THE FREEWAY AT 15MPH WITH HAZARDS ON. STOPPED AT A TRUCK STOP (I AM A FEMALE HERE, SO SAFETY WAS A CONCERN) AND PROCEEDED TO TALK TO INSURANCE COMPANY/TRY TO FIND A DODGE DEALERSHIP WHO ACTUALLY COULD "WORK" ON THESE SPECIFIC SPRINTER ENGINES. AFTER MUCH TROUBLE, END RESULT IS THE VEHICLE ENDS UP AT A CERTIFIED DODGE DEALERSHIP WHO IS VERY AWARE OF THIS COMMON PROBLEM AMONG SPRINTERS (DEALS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE CONSTANTLY). IT IS THE TURBO RESONATOR THAT IS A FAULTY PLASTIC PIECE THAT OFTEN AND FREQUENTLY BREAKS ON THESE VEHICLES. THE ONLY THING THE DEALERSHIP CAN DO "UNDER WARRANTY" IS REPLACE THE FAULTY PIECE WITH A NEW, SAME, WILL ULTIMATELY CAUSE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN, PLASTIC PIECE! WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED/RECALLED BY DODGE OR MERCEDES IS OUTRAGEOUS AND IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS VEHICLE PUT ME AND MY FAMILY AT GREAT RISK BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THAT CAN BE CORRECTED, A $5 PIECE OF PLASTIC!?! I WOULD HATE TO HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER WRITING THIS FOR ME BECAUSE OF A PREVENTABLE ACCIDENT OCCURRING, SO I ASK, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE, I HAVE SEEN TONS OF SPRINTER OWNERS WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

  TAKATA RECALL DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDES. BOTH RECALLED. NO DODGE OR MERCEDES DEALERS WITHIN 60 MILES OF US ARE WILLING TO REPLACE THESE AIRBAGS. INITIALLY, AFTER WE WERE NOTIFIED OF INITIAL RECALL ON DRIVERS SIDE, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT GET PARTS. NOW THEY CAN GET PARTS BUT THEY ALL SAY THEY CANNOT OR WILL NOT PERFORM THIS REPLACEMENT. HOW CAN WE POSSIBLE GET THIS WORK DONE? HOW MANY DEALERS DO WE HAVE TO CONTACT TO FIND ONE WHO WILL DO THIS WORK? WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS? I KEEP READING THAT SO MANY PEOPLE JUST HAVE NOT BOTHERED HAVING THE RECALL WORK DONE, BUT WE HAVE TRIED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES TO DO IT....IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE IT.

  THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITHOUT ELECTRIC LOCKS BUT THE VAN DOESN'T HAVE A WAY OF UNLOCKING/LOCKING THE TWO FRONT DOOR FROM THE INTERIOR. MEANING IF THE PASSENGER WANTED TO UNLOCK/LOCK HIS DOOR HE COULDN'T. THE ONLY WAY OF LOCKING THE DOOR IS FROM OUTSIDE WITH THE KEY. I HAVE READ NHTSA DOOR LOCK REGULATIONS AND IT SAID THAT ALL DOORS MUST BE ABLE TO BE LOCKED/UNLOCKED FROM THE INTERIOR. WAS THIS RULE IN EFFECT IN 2006 WHEN THIS VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED? I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE MANUFACTURE FIX THIS PROBLEM IF THE VAN WAS NOT SAFETY COMPLIANCE WHEN IT WAS PRODUCED.

• 09/28/2007· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  I HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT MODEL YEAR 2007 DODGE SPRINTER VANS HAVE TWO SERIOUS PRODUCT DEFECTS: 1.A DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE WHICH APPARENTLY READS HALF FULL WHEN THE VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF GASOLINE. 2.VERY LOW FUEL ECONOMY OF ABOUT 5 MPG RATHER THAN THE EXPECTED 15 MPG. THE COMBINATION OF HIGH GAS CONSUMPTION AND A DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE RESULTS IN THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY STOPPING WHEN THE GASOLINE TANK IS EMPTY. I AM AWARE OF FOUR VEHICLES OPERATED BY A SMALL COMPANY IN CHICAGO ALL OF WHICH HAVE THIS PROBLEM. BOTH THE DEALER, SHERMAN DODGE IN SKOKIE, IL AND CHRYSLER LLC HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE DEFECTS FOR OVER A MONTH. I PERSONALLY HAVE OVER 38 YEARS OF BUSINESS EXPERIENCE (13 AS A CONSULTANT) IN THE COMMERCIAL VEHICLE INDUSTRY INCLUDING EXPERIENCE AS AN ENGINEER AND EXPERT WITNESS IN PERSONAL INJURY CASES INVOLVING POTENTIAL PRODUCT DEFECTS. BASED ON MY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, IT IS MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION THAT THE PRODUCT DEFECTS ON THESE VEHICLES REPRESENT A SERIOUS RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO THE OWNERS AND DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES, AS WELL AS, OTHER PEOPLE WHO MAY ENCOUNTER ONE OF THESE STALLED VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES ARE UNEXPECTEDLY STALLING ON THE BUSY STREETS AND EXPRESSWAYS IN CHICAGO. THE DRIVER MAY NOT HAVE THE TIME OR OPPORTUNITY TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE LOCATION BEFORE IT ROLLS TO A STOP. OTHER COMPANY EMPLOYEES ARE HAULING GASOLINE IN CANS IN THEIR VEHICLES TO RESCUE THESE STALLED VEHICLES. HAULING GASOLINE IN A CAN, IN A VEHICLE IS NOT A GOOD SITUATION. STANDING ON A BUSY STREET OR EXPRESSWAY WITH TRUCKS AND CAR SPEEDING PAST WHILE POUR GASOLINE FROM A CAN INTO ONE OF THESE STALLED DEFECTIVE SPRINTERS IS VERY RISKY. I BELIEVE IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF ONE OF THESE DODGE SPRINTERS STALLING UNEXPECTEDLY. ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN IMMEDIATELY TO CORRECT THESE PRODUCT DEFECTS BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

• 09/23/2009· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  1. INITIALLY I HAD BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CHASSIS BATTERY FROM THE BEGINNING OF PURCHASE (8/25/08). DURING THE FIRST AUTO DEALER'S SERVICE (5/13/09)), THE CHASSIS BATTERY WAS CHECKED AND CLEARED AS SATISFACTORY. THEN CHASSIS BATTERY BOILED DRY AND HAD TO BE REPLACED (5/30/09) LATER THE DEALER ADMITTED THAT THE TERMINALS ON THE CHASSIS BATTERY HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED. 2. NEXT WAS A FAILURE OF THE ELECTRIC WIRING SYSTEM CONNECTING THE ALTERNATOR TO THE STARTER SYSTEM. THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE BATTERY ISOLATING SWITCH MECHANISM (DISCONNECT SWITCH) WHICH IS LOCATED NEXT TO THE ACCELERATOR BEING JOSTLED BY THE OPERATOR'S FOOT. THIS CAUSES THE BATTERY TO CALL FOR EXCESSIVE VOLTAGE. CONSEQUENTLY THE EXCESSIVE CHARGING OVER A PERIOD OF TIME DESTROYED THE CHASSIS BATTERY, DESTROYED THE WIRING FROM THE ALTERNATOR TO THE STARTER SOLENOID WITH POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE ECM SYSTEMS. 3. I REPLACED THE CHASSIS BATTERY; THE DEALER PERFORMED TESTS AND REPLACED THE DESTROYED WIRING. WITH MY BACKGROUND IN MECHANICS, I DISCOVERED A DESIGN FLAW IN THE BATTERY ISOLATING SWITCH (DISCONNECT SWITCH). THE DEALER PERFORMING THE INSPECTION FOUND THE "DISCONNECT SWITCH" WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED AND THE AUTO MANUFACTURER DOES NOT RECOMMEND MODIFYING THIS DESIGN. AS A CUSTOMER I ASKED FOR THE DISCONNECT SWITCH TO BE STABILIZED WITH A DOUBLE NUT SYSTEM. THE REFUSAL OF THE AUTO MANUFACTURING TO MODIFY THIS DESIGN LEAVES THE BATTERY ISOLATING SWITCH (DISCONNECT SWITCH) SUBJECT TO MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE OR THE DRIVER'S FOOT WHICH CAUSES THE GROUND CONNECTION TO BE WEAK AND THUS CAUSING THE ALTERNATOR TO OVERCHARGE. THE CURRENT DISCONNECT DESIGN ALLOWS FOR THE FAILURE OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. QUOTING: DODGE SPRINTER 2008 MANUAL: "CAUTION! MAKE SURE THAT THE KEY IS IN POSITION 0 IN THE IGNITION LOCK AND WAIT AT LEAST 20 SECONDS BEFORE DISCONNECTING OR CONNECTING THE BATTERY ISOLATING SWITCH. YOU COULD OTHERWISE DAMAGE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPONENTS." *TR

  MY SERVICE TECH STARTED THIS VAN AND WENT BACK INTO THE HOUSE TO GET HIS CUP OF COFFEE. WHEN HE CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE HE FOUND THE VAN ON FIRE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE VAN WAS TOWED TO TOMBALL DODGE. THE FIRE WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE STARTED IN THE LEFT SIDE HEAD LIGHT, CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE WIRING, HOOD, FENDER, BUMPER, MIRROR, INSULATION AND MUCH MORE. DODGE HAS NOT TAKEN ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND AFTER 4 MONTHS BEING REPAIRED AND AT A COST OF $12,763.50. I HAVE FOUR OTHER SPRINTERS IN MY FLEET, AND I AM VERY CONCERNED.

• 07/30/2023· AIR BAGS

  I have received a letter from the FCA US LLC regarding recalls for both airbags. I have called 3-4 times requesting this service. Because the van is technically a dodge (although made by mercedes, back in 2007) there is no Dodge dealerships that will agree to service the vehicle. The chrysler/dodge dealerships don't service sprinters, as they haven't been rebranded by dodge since 2007, and the mercedes dealerships either don't have access to the Dodge recall system, or are unwilling to assist, as they are not affiliated with the recall. I called 1800- 992-1997, to speak with chrysler, (Case # [XXX]) and spent another 42 minutes on the phone yesterday, still unable to find a solution. They called another handful of dealerships, seemingly not believing that Dodge dealerships would be unwilling to service a dodge sprinter. They stated that I could probably bring it to mercedes sprinter and have the work done, and then apply for reimbursement, although they would not guarantee me in writing that they would cover the expense. I have been working on a solution for probably close to the last 6 months. I have recently been forced to drive this vehicle daily, which makes me more concerned, as my children are frequently inside. “INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).”

• 05/16/2009· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  THE 2006 SPRINTER VAN SOLD UNDER THE DODGE AND FREIGHTLINER BRAND (MADE BY MERCEDES) HAS A SERIOUS DEFECT THAT CAUSES AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER. THIS IS CAUSED BY A FAILURE OF THE "RESONATOR", A PLASTIC PART THAT IS PART OF THE AIR INTAKE FOR THE TURBO CHARGER. THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THIS PART IS TO REDUCE THE "WHINE" OF THE TURBOCHARGER. THE PART IS MOLDED PLASTIC, AND IT FAILS BETWEEN WHERE THE TWO PARTS ARE MOLDED. WHEN IT FAILS, THE ENGINE COMPUTER THINKS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE HAS OCCURRED, AND PUTS THE ENGINE IN "LIMP HOME" MODE, WITH AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER. IF PASSING, OR GOING UPHILL, THE CAR WILL BEHAVE AS IF THE ACCELERATOR HAS BEEN REDUCED TO ZERO POWER RESULTING IN A RAPID DECELERATION. IF PASSING, THERE IS NOT SUFFICIENT POWER TO COMPLETE THE PASS. UPHILL MAXIMUM SPEED IS ABOUT 20 TO 35 MPH, EVEN WITH A FULL THROTTLE. THIS DEFECT AFFECTS ALL 2006 SPRINTER VANS WITH THE 2.7 LITRE ENGINE. MANY RV'S ARE BUILT ON THIS PLATFORM, INCLUDING ROADTREK, PLEASURE WAY, LEISURE WAY, GREAT WESTERN, AND OTHERS. THE VEHICLE IS ALSO USE BY MANY DELIVERY SERVICES. THIS IS SERIOUS DEFECT THAT COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR INJURY AND IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE. MINE FAILED AT 9800 MILES. REPORTS OF OTHERS FAILING WITHIN 2000 MILES AND REPEATED FAILURES AFTER REPLACEMENT. MINE FAILED WHEN GOING 65 ON A STRAIGHT AND LEVEL ROAD. HAD IT OCCURRED WHEN PASSING, I COULD HAVE BEEN EASILY KILLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND HAD THE DEALER CHECK THE RESONATOR BEFORE A LONG TRIP.
