Has anyone had any experience with getting any warranty coverage/repair on rust after the official warranty period?
Thanks!
Great!
Do you have a link to the 2010 specs ?
It is the most popular engine in Europe.
$4 gas is coming back sooner or later.
These are the published UK mpg specs - note that UK gallons are 4.5 liers and US gallons are 3.8 liters.

2007 High Top 144 WB White.
My 2000 Chevy Astro, also fleet white, even with lots of paint CHIPS has yet to show a single spot of rust.
Is Mercedes going to call this "driver error" or "abuse" or US air "defective" ?
What is the experience of Mercedes stepping up to the plate?
Is there history of the 2007 and up vans developing rust?
Also, the keyless entry is abysmal, in a FEW ways:
1. What with the lack of a keyhole in slider, and the remote disabled when key is in ignition, I am unable to use this van as a commercial vehicle in a way that allows me to secure it while doing service calls. I am a locksmith, so work from van, but do not want someone hopping in and driving off when I am working on a client vehicle ).
When I inquired, the Dodge dealer was pleasant enough, but not too knowledgeable as the the possibility the behavior of remote may be programmable by dealer. I am fairly sure it is not programmable via steering wheel buttons.
Perhaps there is an EXPERT here that can chime in.
2. Remotes incredibly week, even if I am within 3 feet of vehicle. Batteries fresh, all 4 remotes the same... unlock of driver door is decent, but not for the remaining doors, and intermittently poor for LOCKING.
No chime or churp is also a royal pita... can NOT see the all-ways lights flash in sunlight.
If I had transponder chip keys w/o remote, I would put in after market product, as this factory system is inadequate. Are these to be made available ?
Love the vehicle for the height, but the basics need some attention...... ok vehicle, not quite a :lemon:
The rust is coming out all over the place.Tiny spots .
I have been noticing other Sprinters around and same problem.
I have been spot painting it up until now and will have to have it completely next summer.
It is now just over the warranty ,so obviously ,they will not do nothing for me,and even if they did,it would probably only be a patch up job.
Good machine but very poor metal.

The safety of installing carseats with the seatbelt is equal to that of LATCH, but tethering should be used with FF carseats to increase safety. I dont' really care how much it would cost, just that I can get it done.
TIA

I have now found out that the cruise control will not release after depressing the brake peddle as well.
I have been advised there is a small switch on the brake peddle that allows a contact closure to release either the gear shifter from park and releases the cruise control... Is this true.... I took the Sprinter to the Dodge dealer they advised to correct the problem would cost $670.00, they did no tests to see if the problem was a control module or the brake switch. Any one experience this problems before... Thanks SR Brazil Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Thanks
It is just as big, will probably be cheaper and could be serviced at any Ford dealer.
