What owners report
The SRS malfunction light was on the dashboard. When I went to the dealership I was told that the wires were damaged under the seats. So I had the dealership do the repair. Then I was told that they had a known problem with the wires actually there was a recall stating the same issue. But since it wasnât showing up by the vin. Number they refused to do the repairs by a recall so I had to pay for the repairs. Iâm confused why the problem is actually what is in the recall why wouldnât it be fixed regardless if the vin number didnât show up as being faulty. When itâs the same issue. That they found.
During a drive in an extended rain shower,the adaptive cruise control stopped working, and the accident avoidance system ceased to function, giving multiple warnings on the dashboard information system. It took 2 days to dry out and start functioning again.
The emergency parking brake will not disengage. Renders vehicle immobile.
This report concerns the crosswind assistance function on a Mercedes Sprinter van. Whenever a crosswind is detected, vehicle will radically and unevenly apply brakes. In my case, it most often seems to apply the front driverâs side brake. This results in a sudden dive towards the braking wheel and an uncommanded dramatic slowing of the vehicle. This is unnerving to say the least, and cannot be safe when doing 70 mph on an interstate alongside a tractor trailer, with another behind me, as I was doing in southern Nevada the first time I experienced it. While this form asks for the date the incident occurs, I am citing the first time I experienced it, but it is ongoing.
The contact owns a 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, he briefly lost control of the vehicle after the crosswind stabilization system activated, drastically reducing speed to under 50 MPH and pulling the vehicle into the right lane. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence while driving through light crosswinds. The crosswind warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 2,000.
