Copy of text message to k and m Dodge in grand rapids, mi who currently has my RV :mike blattner and missy willman, I need an appt to discuss my Dodge Sprinter chassis RV that was towed 02/21/18 in there because it would not shift out of park. Nick with service said a brake switch and the battery were needed and I authorized that work, and it was completed. Then nick contacted me saying it would not shift out of park and that a shifter assembly and an ambient air sensor replacement were now required to get the RV working. The shifting problem is why it was originally towed in. I am feeling that the focus of my concerns were unaddressed initially by the service dept. I spoke with the previous owner and was told the battery was not even three yrs old, yet nick said that the battery they took out was no longer there, that two days after it was taken out, it was picked up to be recycled. Was the battery still under warranty? was the brake switch replacement necessary, since it did not take care of the shifting problem after the service technician replaced it? I was told by a mechanic to make a complaint with NHTSA as this was a common problem he encountered with the Dodge Sprinter 3500. Nhtsa agent, beau, gave me an odi complaint #: 11078745, then recommended I log a complaint with fca north America, which I did, and was given a case # 33667091. I am not happy. I need to meet with your k and m management team to address my concerns.
This vehicle was purchased without electric locks but the van doesn't have a way of unlocking/locking the two front door from the interior. Meaning if the passenger wanted to unlock/lock his door he couldn't. The only way of locking the door is from outside with the key. I have read NHTSA door lock regulations and it said that all doors must be able to be locked/unlocked from the interior. Was this rule in effect in 2006 when this vehicle was produced? I would like to have the manufacture fix this problem if the van was not safety compliance when it was produced.
We lost mos of our power while driving home from a trip. It felt like the transmission was completely slipping. We pulled over multiple times when it wouldn't auto shift and turned it off for awhile each time. Fortunately, we were able to limp home. We are suspecting that is is the turbo resonator. We know that there have been many complaints about this faulty part.
My 2007 Dodge Sprinter suffers from the same water leak from the roof ac seal. The Mercedes Benz built Dodge Sprinter has a known problem and mb and Dodge shuffle me back and forth to each other. Many owners have paid for multiple dealer repairs only to have the leak return. A class action suit has been successful against mb, but they will not extend the repairs to Dodged badged models. Dodge refers me to mb. This is dangerous problem because a waterfall leak pouring into your van can cause a driver to loose concentration and drift into another lane. The van's roof ac takes on water while parked or in motion and can dump several cups of water while the van is in motion.
