The esp dash light came on while leaving parking stall, the Sprinter shifted hard down to first and would not shift. I turned the vehicle off and restarted now the vehicle was in high gear and would not shift driving on city street. I drove a short distance 1/2 mi. And turned the vehicle off, let it sit for a minute or so and restarted, the vehicle drove fine for a mile or so then the esp dash light came on again, no issues with shifting this time. The next day while driving on a residential street the esp light did not come on for a 1/4 mile when it did there was no shifting issue. I turned off the vehicle and restarted and the light did not come back on for several miles on city streets and one stop and restart at fuel station.

2004 Dodge Sprinter - the braking system stiffens up (power brake) if I push the pedal hard especially when I back up the vehicle. It's like the booster has frozen solid and the brake pedal can't travel all the way down. If I let the vehicle sit for a while (1 hr) it will get back to normal. This is a repeat incident and started in the first year but I did not pay too much attention since I did not understand what happened and the problem disappeared for a while. But lately is reappearing more frequently. No accident yet. Nothing has been done to correct the failure. The vehicle is out of warranty by now 66,000 miles. I wonder if there are more people experiencing the same.
