“The sliding door which is the only egress for passengers in the back of the van will not open. I have had it fixed 4 times and it continuously fails. I have talked to other Sprinter owners and they have the same problem. Should there be an incident that required the quick evacuation of the van by passengers in the rear of the van they could be very seriously harmed. This is a very serious defect that chrysler will not acknowledge.”
NHTSA complaint #10610216, filed 2014-07, 11,000 miles“In may of 2005 I purchased a new Dodge (mercedes benz) Sprinter 2500 passenger van. Within the first 3 months and 7,500 miles of date of purchase the vehicle began to show signs of premature rusting and leakage over the entire vehicle. I pursued remedy thru all authorized Sprinter dealerships adhering to chrysler protocols and recommendations. No remedy was ever forthcoming, I repeatedly and continue to challenge chrysler, their refusal to provide warranty service for the entire time I have owed this vehicle is documented and too extensive to provide here. …”
