Power Assist Brake Vacuum Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problem #1

2007 Dodge Sprinter 2500 had no brakes. Consumer wants to know how can an automobile have absolutely no driver warning device to advise the driver that he has no brakes. The consumer stated the problem was a melted vacuum hose.

Brake Light On problem #2

While driving on interstate 40 in arizona, the Dodge lost power and the abs light came on along with the esp light and brake light. When lights illuminated the engine lost power and went into limp mode that significantly reduced speed. Once that happened a semi was behind me and he had to slam on his brakes. I was able to pull RV over and let it rest. After 2 hours of being on side of highway, I was able to get RV started and back on the road. I fixed the rear speed sensors and tried driving RV again. Same issue. I was on interstate 17 when the 3 lights illuminated and the RV stalled completely. I had no powering steering and struggled to safely pull over. Rv will be taken back to mercedes and try to troubleshoot. There needs to be a recall and mercedes needs to fix the issue as I see on forums that a lot of other people are having the same issue. Luckily, I have not heard of any injuries but if this issue happens to an inexperienced driver, they might panic and cause an accident.
