We've had multiple issues with starting the vehicle. After number attempts to eradicate the issue, I google searched the problems and found that the y connect harness from battery to alternator and starter had been remanufactured for improvement 3 times. I'm uncertain why this part did not have a recall for my vehicle. Mercedes manufacturer for our motor should be responsible for this issue since there have been so many reported issues with this part. Can you please evaluate the complaint and advise.

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.

Dodge Sprinter 2500 converted to recreational vehicle by winnebago (2010 winnebago era). On may 11, 2018 after driving for ~4 hours, parked in campsite. Immediately caught fire under driver's side floor in battery compartment. Fire spread under dash, unable to extinguish with onboard fire extinguisher. Fire department extinguished blaze after entire dash melted.

Vehicle was parked in hospital parking lot for about 6 hours. Left hospital and while trying to start vehicle the dashboard information center indicated a no start condition. The engine would not attempt to crank. Thinking my key was faulty, I tried my wife's key. Same result. No crank. Dashboard displayed "start error". An attached device by garmin that reads the computer bus and communicates to the garmin gps had no illumination of it's communications established confidence light. . Since the vehicle was cold I activated the auxillary heater for warrnth. My wife and I sat there for 15 minutes making phone calls and trying to get help. The cabin had warmed up some and I tried to start the vehicle again. I was successful. In trying to research this problem on the Sprinter user forums, I found reference to a screem module having to do with vehicle security. Other users attributed this condition to a "cold solder joint" in the module. Replacing this module requires reprogamming the Smart keys. A substantial cost.

Driving on hwy I felt a sudden loss of power/ no boost. On empty cargo I couldn't make it over 55-65 mph.

2010 fleetwood "icon" (2008 Sprinter chassis) 33,612 miles VIN wdxpf445389380901 the Dodge Sprinter RV I purchased (used, 16,500 miles) in February of this year (2013) from a private RV dealer in oregon has a serious (intermittent) electrical problem that Dodge/Chrysler has been unable to repair after 5 or 6 attempts in the past 3 months, both in oregon and California. I drove the RV to alaska starting in may of this year and when I was driving to valdez, ak the engine just cut out and I lost all electrical. I coasted to a stop and the vehicle immediately started, but I had a number of warning lights on my dash. From this point forward I developed issues with my glow-plug light not illuminating and being unable to start my motor. Driving through washington/oregon I continued to look for a dealership that could check my RV out, but all but one in beaverton, oregon couldn't accommodate the size of my RV. Meanwhile I experienced intermittent problems with starting/dying. The dealership in beaverton couldn't locate my problem, but gave me copies of the numerous and strange trouble codes my vehicle was posting when it died/or wouldn't start. The RV is still under warranty and has been in two different dealerships to resolve the issue of dying while driving (serious safety issue which the mechanic at crown Dodge duplicated). The other electrical problems are "no start" (intermittent) and no clearance lights (constant).

I purchased a 2003 Dodge intrepid in November of 2005 and the car runs fine up until about a month and a half ago. The check engine light came on and the car would get stuck in one gear and my rpm would go up into the red line unless I pulled over and restarted the car. Other times it would get stuck and then jerk into the next gear. Then about four days ago I was on the freeway and the whole car just shut off. I could not move it and traffic was speeding past me and a few had to slam on breaks to avoid hitting me and my ten month old daughter. I had to have some people help me to push it off the freeway so that I could restart it to make it back home. I am very frightened to drive now especially with my daughter in the car because I am afraid this may happen again. I had the codes read on the car and about seven came up all pointing to different things. A mechanic suggested the transmission ecm. The estimated cost of fixing this if it is the problem is about 750. 00 dollars.

I bought this van new in April 2006. The van came with an e. O. M. Roof a/c which is the cause for the vehicle stalling when decelerating. The first time this happened was about 2 months after we bought the van. I reported this incident to the dealership and was told that Dodge was aware of it and would issue a recall as soon as it has a fix - it never did. The current odometer reading is 35,125 miles. The van was mostly driven short distances as I use it mainly to transport my wheelchair bound daughter to and from doctors and hospitals visits. Time went by until it happened again. It appeared that the stalling, the engine suddenly shut off when the roof a/c is running while the engine is at a certain temperature. I contacted Dodge which told me that my warranty had expired. It would cost approximately $1000 to install the "rear a/c idle cutout module". After doing some researches, I found out that there was a Dodge service bulletin # 24-001-2009 dated April 24, 2009 with subject: idle instability - rear a/c idle cutout module installation. In my opinion the stalling was caused by a design flaw which the manufacturer should fix regardless of the warranty time limit. Could you help us with this issue?.
