2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Electronic stability control Problems

“Our 2018 class c tiffin wayfarer is built on the 2017 mercedes SPRINTER 3500 chassis. At 17,380 miles, with no warning, while moving, the vehicle began banging, lurching and sped up. All this occurred while attempting to go through a city street intersection. To stop the vehicle from this erratic motion, I immediately switched it off and coasted to the side. Had there been a vehicle or person directly in front of me, there is no question that I unfortunately would have hit them as the vehicle sped up even with brakes applied. I restarted the vehicle and moved it out of the intersection. …”

“Rmp sensor failed causing vehicle to lose anti lock brakes, traction control and cruise control. Plus forced vehicle into limp mode so it would barely move to rest area to call for assistance. I've been to three dealerships with this issue and they are all very aware that these faulty sensors exist. They have been and issue for years putting 100s if not thousands of sprinter owners at extreme risk with loss of anti lock brakes and traction control at the same time. Mercedes benz needs to correct this faulty part and recall all vehicles and fix”
