What owners report
We've had multiple issues with starting the vehicle. After number attempts to eradicate the issue, I Google searched the problems and found that the y connect harness from battery to alternator and starter had been remanufactured for improvement 3 times. I'm uncertain why this part did not have a recall for my vehicle. Mercedes manufacturer for our motor should be responsible for this issue since there have been so many reported issues with this part. Can you please evaluate the complaint and advise.
Dodge was not able to replace the passenger airbag. No dealers could replace it. I had the passenger airbag replaced by a Mercedes Sprinter dealership and was reimbursed by Dodge. The problem is they can not remove the recall from NHTSA. I still get email and mail telling me to replace the passenger airbag. I've called 4 times over 2 years. Each time they say they'll fix it. It still shows the recall is not complete. How can I remedy this? Dodge has been no help.
The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Sprinter 3500. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the contact noticed that several unknown warning lights were illuminated and suddenly the vehicle failed to accelerate. The vehicle decelerated to 10 MPH with the accelerator pedal depressed to the floorboard. The contact pulled the vehicle into a parking lot, restarted the vehicle and the vehicle temporarily operated as designed before the failure recurred. The contact had the vehicle towed to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure but retrieved a failure code for the ABS control module. The contact was informed that the ABS control module needed to be replaced. Th
THE DODGE DEALER IN BELLEVUE WASHINGTON REFUSED TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIRS. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T PUT THE VEHICLE ON THEIR LIFT, EVEN THOUGH AIRBAG REPLACEMENT DOESN'T REQUIRE THAT. THEY REFERRED ME TO SEATTLE MERCEDES, WHICH ALSO REFUSED TO DO THE RECALL.
TAKATA RECALL. THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED OCT 12 2017. IN 01/2018 I GET A RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I CALLED FREIGHTLINER BUT WAS TOLD THEY CAN NO LONGER REPLACED THE AIRBAG IN NEW YORK STATE AND THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME. THEY NEVER DID. NY DMV SENT ME A NOTICE SO I CALLED FREIGHTLINER AND THEY SHOW NO RECALLS SAME AS YOUR WEBSITE. WHAT HAPPENED? HOW CAN I GET THE AIRBAG REPLACED NOW? *DT *DT
