Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“At 24,000 miles two wheel speed sensors failed causing esp, ABS, and check engine warning lights to illuminate. Also this disabled the cruise control. Vehicle sat overnight and upon starting no error messages appeared. The following day these issues reoccurred. Took vehicle to mb dealer for diagnostics, which confirmed the speed sensor failures. Cost of repair $1,100. Understand this is a known, commonly reported problem with sprinters between 2013 - 2016. Mb should be held responsible for recalls and the cost of repairs.”
