What owners report
Vehicle was driving fine, then warning lights that ABS system was no longer functioning, cruse control inoiperable, "go to shop immediatly" with no apparent cause. I took it to a shop and they attached the electronic scanner which indicated "Front Right Speed Sensor failed". This is the second speed sensor that I have had replaced this year (the first was one of the rear speed sensors). I replaced the front right speed sensor this morning, but the system has not reset. I hate to drive the vehicle with the warnings still indicated and cruise control inoperable, but I have no choice.
I WORK FOR AN EXPEDITE TRANSPORT CARRIER. IN MY NOW CLOSE TO 3 YEARS DRIVING TWO SPRINTER 2500'S I HAVE HAD 7 OF THE 10 RIMS FAIL. IN EACH AND EVERY CASE THE SAME PROBLEM DEVELOPED. A HAIRLINE FRACTURE HAS THE RIM LOSING AIR NEAR WHERE THE VALVE STEM HOLE WAS PUNCHED. I MENTIONED 10 RIMS AS EVEN ONE OF THE TWO SPARES FAILED. IMHO THIS IS A CLEAR INDICATION THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR THING. AFTER GETTING NEW TIRES LAST WEEK ALONG WITH A REPLACEMENT RIM I EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM TO THE TIRE TECHNICIAN. TO MY SURPRISE THEY FOUND A LEAK IN A RIM THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REMOUNTED. THE OWNER OF THE TRANSPORTATION COMPANY I DRIVE FOR ALSO OWNS 3 MERCEDES 2500 SPRINTERS AND ALL 3 VEHICLE
