The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Sprinter 2500. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle failed to restart. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that he watched a youtube video and changed the fuel pressure sensor, but the failure recurred. The contact checked the wire harness, which was fine and pristine. There was a perturbing section on the manifold, and the two wires were cut. The wire webbing was frayed due to rubbing. The local dealer was contacted, who informed him there were no recalls. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, who opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 252,858.

Tl the contact owns a 2006 (na) Dodge Sprinter. The contact stated that the vehicle lost power, failed to start, and decelerated while driving on a weekly basis. In addition, the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to towbin Dodge (275 auto mall dr, henderson, nv 89014, (702) 558-3800) where an appointment was scheduled. When the contact arrived at the dealer, they stated that there was no appointment in their system. The vehicle was then taken to chapman Dodge sahara (3175 e sahara Ave, las vegas, nv 89104, (702) 457-1061) where the staff was extremely rude and shunned the contact away. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and scheduled an appointment at the first Dodge dealer. Again, the dealer stated that the appointment did not show up in their system. The failure mileage was 94,300.

I have two recalls that needs to be done by a Dodge dealer which I tried two years ago with no success, the first one is brake light recall none of the Dodge dealers in my area up to 50 miles radius were able to fix the recall. Now I am trying to register my vehicle with dmv and I was told about the proof of correction that I need to provide for an emission recall. I called multiple Dodge dealers with no success to have it worked on plus I was suggested to call Mercedes Benz since it is a mercedes engineered vehicle and since its a Dodge they won't do the recall. Now I am stuck with a vehicle I can get fixed and registered. The vehicle is my work vehicle and I can't do any work/income because it can't be registered. Please advice.

Tl- the contact owns a 2004 Dodge Sprinter. The contact stated that there had been a progressing failure with the vehicle misfiring. The manufacturer included the vehicle in a recall campaign t21 however the tools, an available technician and the part was not available to schedule the recall repair after contacting several dealers: ed voyles Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (844) 715-5921), shottenkirk Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram ((678) 535-3417), landmark Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram (770) 968-4900), don jackson Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (770) 969-7229), mall of georgia Chrysler Dodge Jeep ( (888) 522-5112). The vehicle was not being driven due to the failure and until the manufacturer supplies the tools and a technician to repair the vehicle from a dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and assigned a case manager who was to respond within a business day. The contact was waiting for a response from the manufacturer and was uncertain as to when the vehicle may be repaired. The approximate failure mileage was not available. VIN tool confirms parts not available. Dyd.

Emissions recall. Manufacturer fca totally unresponsive. Hours on phone. Dealers too cannot get response, vehicle computer shuts engine off on highway as engine detects problem. Truck can then be restarted usually. Fumes beginning. Europe suing manufacturer over this and epa may be. Fca recall # is t21.

Sprinter in loosing power when its going to even little hill,after that works fine. Chk with shop trans ok. Other situation is ac vents giving only cold air from top vents and side vents giving full heat like over hot.

While in motion the vehicles wiper motor stopped working. After further inspection it was determined that the main wiring harness had failed and several electrical conductors had melted away their protective coating causing several systems to short out and stop working. This also caused the wiper motor to prematurely fail. Wiper motor was replaced hoping that it would still work after the exposed wiring was cut back and new wiring was spliced in. However the wiring harness continued to wear down and the wiper motor electrical circuit has completely shorted out.

I'm replacing the O2 sensor for the second time in three years. After researching it seems like a common problem related to the resonator. I am surprised Dodge or mercedes does not want to offer a solution especially since the engine is otherwise reliable. It's a case of a cheap part causing a lot of grief (and some safety risk as you never know when it will go into limp mode. ) with no response from the manufacturer. This most recent sensor replacement will cost me $762. 00.

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.

When I am driving a freeway speed this vehicle loses power and the speed drops to about 40 mph. This happens randomly. I have had this truck into the dealer several times. They have replaced the main computer, O2 sensors the resonator and they cannot find the problem. This problem started when the vehicle had approx. 95000 miles on it. We have been dealing with this intermittent problem for over a year and it has become a real safety issue when you are trying to get to the side of the road. When you pull over you can shut the vehicle off and restart it and it will reset the motor and run fine until it happens again. This is happening 3-4 times a day now and I am at a loss of how to solve this problem. From what I have read this is a big problem with other Sprinter owners.

Engine die's driving at unknown times (key turn on) found test of power windows at same time stop due to no power (12volts) engine cut in and out but stops running. Deal never found the trouble. 1 click (relay) turn key to start (starter never turn) truck mite start 15 min or next day . Found bad mfg engine grounding. Added ground engine back to ground post fix the missing ground. / 2nd the mfg turbo resonator split making limp home mode.

The turbo resonator came apart and completely shut down the turbo, resulting in complete loss of power on the freeway. Very unsafe and have found that this is a common problem, but Dodge will not do anything about it. A google search online will atleast to this fact and it is very dangerous. I was on the freeway when this happened and when you loose all power at once it makes for a very unsafe situation for everyone around and behind you as there is no way to accelerate to get to the side of the road, only able to coast. Please make sure this problem is documented. ## VIN failed ## Dodge Sprinter 2500 2005 ##.

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).

Driving at freeway speed the vehicle losses power and the speed decreases to about 40 mph. I can pull over and turn of the motor for about 10 seconds and start up and the vehicle will reset and run fine until it does it again randomly. This is very dangerous especially when you are in the left hand lane and you are trying to get to a safe place to pull over. This has happened several times and I have replaced the turbo resonator 3 time on this truck. This is a plastic part and the body cracks from the vibration and pressure.

On more than 1 occasion, my vehicle died out while traveling on expressways. In all instances, the engine stopped working. Fortunately nobody was injured. The vehicle needs an engine replacement again and has less than 69,000 miles on it.

I left for vacation October 15, 2010 and have a loss of power , can't go over 55mph, which is good for saving diesel fuel but not for wanting to get to my vacation place. This Sprinter has only 9,300 miles on it.

We have had three vacations that have been ruined due to the failure of the turbo resonator in our 2006 winnebego view with a 2005 Sprinter engine. We have had failure going over the los angles grapvine grade, the northern California, 101 corridor and just this past week, the sierra mt. Range going into reno, nv. On our way to yellowstone. Three vacations ruined, three turbo resonators later and lots of money, time and stress. Not sure why we have not received a recall on this plastic piece of junk that has put our lives in danger???.

My Dodge Sprinter, 2006, winnebago's turbo resonator has failed on me twice, 11-5-2007 and 5-28-2010. The failure is fast and the Sprinter goes down to 10 to 40 mph which is very dangerous! Chrysler has replaced the resonator both times but obviously it will fail again!.

Faulty turbo resonator on a motorhome Dodge Sprinter 2006 the problem with the power resonator is that the speed is suddenly reduced and other vehicle behind must brake or change is short notice due to the reduced speed form an average of 65 miles to 20 miles in no time because of the power failure. This condition happened to me e times in the last 2 years, finally I changed the plastic faulty resonator for an aftermarket straight aluminum resonator , but with this change now I have more noise in the cabin.

Vehicle is winnebago view on a Dodge Sprinter 3500 chassis. Traveling at highway speeds the vehicle suddenly loses acceleration. Will not engage the turbo. When climbing a hill it will not accelerate beyond 20mph. This happened the first time with only 5,000 miles and it happened the second at 11,000 miles. Both times the dealer had to replace the plastic resonator. The mechanic told me this had been happening quite often with other owners. In reviewing the odi complaints I have found the same complaint repeated many times.

This 2006 winnebago navion (on a Sprinter 3500 chassis) has suffered two failures of the turbocharger resonator. When the failure occurs there is an immediate and almost total loss of power and the loss of the ability to climb hills as the vehicle goes into "limp home mode" with a top speed of 35 mpg on level ground. The vehicle is unable to keep up with or stay ahead of, or get out of the way of, other traffic. The first failure was initially not correctly diagnosed by the dealer, and after two additional incidents the resonator was replaced under warranty. The resonator has totally failed a second time and the dealer has refused to perform the repair under warranty. I have researched the problem and found that this is a well known defect with the Sprinter that is not being addressed by dealers or the manufacturer. This is the most unreliable and unsafe vehicle I have ever owned or driven. I have had to pull over to the side, unable to get to a turnout, and still partially blocking an active lane of high speed traffic. The vehicles should be recalled and properly repaired, or the manufacturer should buy them back if they are not repairable.

Sudden loss of power while climbing hill in heavy traffic. Could proceed at only 5 mph to get off road into shopping center parking lot. Had to be towed to a safe overnight location. Was a dangerous situation when it happened. We were very lucky not to be hit from behind. Failed part was a plastic "turbo resonator". Replaced by dealer. Code #43358.

2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500 t1 extended passenger approx. 23k miles, 2 years old, under Chrysler full warranty 1. Vehicle stops running altogether while in drive, total engine cut-out, battery light comes on upon slowing at an intersection, turning a corner at slow rate of speed. You can put van in neutral and immediately re-start it and it runs fine. 2. This tends to happen in the heat of the day with the rear a/c running full blast. This has been happening randomly for 10 months or more, but never in the winter when not running the a/c. There is no way to predict it. It happened twice last weekend, many times off and on before that. The van will tend to be "sluggish" sometimes in the same circumstances without dying. 3. We have been trying to correct this failure since this spring. We have been to 2 separate dealerships, in and out several times at northwest Dodge in houston, and in once for this issue at allen samuels Dodge in katy, TX. The van has had full tune up, replace turbo resonator, checking of battery and alternator issue, checking all codes, checked for wire chafing in particular areas. All to no avail. The dealers cannot fix because they can't "duplicate" the issue. Allen samuels tried very hard for 4 days, looked closely, listened to online Sprinter board troubleshooting. The other dealership doesn't care and won't try. This issue is not resolved, nor do we know where to take it. It is a safety hazard to our family as this is a huge passenger vehicle that dies without notice.

Turbo resonator failure. Part has been replaced twice and Dodge dealer says this is all I can keep doing. Sprinter winnebago only has 10,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Sprinter 3500. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle lost power and was towed to the dealer. The dealer stated that the turbo in the engine caused the failure and also blew the hose in the air induction. The hose was replaced under warranty. The contact is aware of the safety risk involved and the possibility of a rear end crash. The dealer also stated that the failure could recur and has noticed duplicate failures in several related vehicles. The vehicle was purchased in August of 2007 and repaired in October of the same year. The failure mileage was 10,000 and current mileage was 20,000. Updated 04/23/08 updated 04/23/08.

The roof top air conditioner units are not properly seal and leak rain waiter. This is an on going problem.

Resonator failure on a 2006 Dodge Sprinter (winnebago view). When the resonator breaks, it poses a significant danger of an accident occurring due to the sudden and complete loss of engine power. This sudden rapid deceleration without any warning sign of any kind causes a serious and unacceptable safety hazard not only to us but also to any other person on the road. It has broken down on may 17, 2007, may 27, 2009 and August 17, 2010. Repair was made by replacing the resonator.

Pn/ 07551201, resonator, failure 3 time in 60,000 miles, lost power,.
