It's the second time it happens in seven months and we bought it brand new here in South Florida. It's a real shame because it's a beautiful truck and I love it.
My question is : Has anybody ever heard of this problem happening this often? :
First the computer went ,now it's something else related to the key.Please if anybody had similar problem ,please let me know .Thank you. :confuse: :sick:
Thanks
Philips Vision Plus Replacement Bulbs H7 Item: "H7VPCD" $19.99 a pair
from: WWW. aidauto.com
Philips bulb site listed a lot of dealers but only these guys had the Headlight Bulbs.
(you should also get an all metal Turbo Resonator from www.Upscaleauto.com they are also the Sprinter Store. The factory unit has a plastic part in it that blows then you go into Limp_Home_Mode. Jere

80k on my '04 and am tickled to death with it..don't seem to get as good a milage as some i have read about here ( 18/20) though i haul around a complete plumbing service business in it. the fuel savings have made about half the payment on the new truck over the "B" van i used to drive!!
But I don't know if the 2007 wheels are different.
I believe this topic has been discussed on this forum before--you might try doing a search. And here is the Yahoo forum on this: http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/sprintervan/message/26246
If you click on Photos on the left side of the page I think you'll see a 118" 2500 that was fitted with the larger alloy wheels.
You'll have to register with Yahoo, and you might do a search there also.
I really like the 16" wheels on my van--it rides great, cruises quieter, and I get around 26 mpg.
Good luck,
KenBob
The problem seems to be temperture related as this only happens during the summer months.
I am going back to the dealer soon for another try.It will be the sixth trip for the same problem
I had this issue last year and did some little thing to get it to go off but I can not recall what it was.
Could you be more specific about the performance of the 2007 Gas model. I am in the process of buying one but i still have time to change if it is flawed for towing, mileage, or otherwise. bldgtech
Is there any chance that we can get these for much better prices? 42K base for 2500 extended cargo seems a bit much.
They might be willing to deal just to cut their overhead.
Anybody have an good recent sales data?

It doesn't help though when the dealerships still have not worked out how to extract a frozen plug, It can be done, as to genuine qualified Mechanics able to do this at a reasonable cost stateside.

I got the truck back on the 20th of Jan. Anybody want to guess what it cost?
I agree about the mechanic. My thought had been that the work would have to be done by the dealer to be under warranty. I have a local mechanic who has worked on it and been fair and timely. I run a plumbing business, and not having the van for nearly a month was a real killer.
Glow plug have a use by limit 100 thousand miles or five years which ever comes first. therefore a seven year warranty on drive trains by Chrysler warranty is void as Glow Plugs and injectors are not to be included with the actual drive-train warranty.
Warranty replacement is dependent on the actual cause of failure but it's a Grey area as to who is responsible towards warranty replacements.
It's contentious. :confuse:

This is with the new 4 cylinder. Whether Dodge is going to carry the 2010 or include the 4 cylinder , who knows.
.
Any Ideas on reliability?
I am a Canadian and am concerned about the warranty but since this will be my vacation vehicle I will put more miles on in the US than in Canada. I figure the chances of needing warranty will be highest where I put on the most miles and therefore buying in the US makes sense to me. Besides Canadian prices are about45% higher than US prices. Is the network of Dodge Sprinter dealers good and how do they take to a traveler dropping in for warranty work?
The MH weighs 8550 with a 170" wheelbase I believe that allows for another 5,000lbs before it is maxed out to its total GVCW of 13550. Is this a concern?

It seems that Chrysler might not sell or service? the new units.
I own an 06 unit long and tall,I have 89,000 miles with no problems at all,since new.
I hope your Sprinter serves you as well.
Best regards

As of January 1, 2010 , Mercedes will SELL and SERVICE the Sprinter. It will have the 3 point star on the front. There will be about 150 mercedes dealers authorized for Sprinter. They know how to maintain a Mercedes. I would not go anywhere else.

I would expect the warranty to just carry over but we will see. I would be surprised to learn that Dodge enhanced the original MB Sprinter warranty.
What is the difference between the warrarty offered by Freightliner and Dodge. Freightliner is owned by Mercedez Benz so that might be a good indicator.
Also, it has been reported that the diesel in the 2010 models for USA will be upgraded to the 210hp Bluetec 3 liter. Hopefully that is true and you will also now be able to get the NAV and the electric doors and the keyless entry options too - like a regular mercedes.
So I cleaned the plates and pins, then all was well again. Check each door to be sure they are connecting and are clean and you will be happy again # 1254.
I do hope that this helps if I am not to late, and someone elsehas already helped you.
6 weeks to go !
