The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500. The contact received notification of Emissions Recall T21 Reprogram Engine Control Unit. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power and carbon monoxide fumes were coming into the cabin of the travel trailer and setting off the carbon monoxide alarm. Police have also warned the contact that there would be a fine for black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the dealer informed the contact that they were not equipped with the tools or had technicians that could perform the recall repair. The dealer referred the contact to a Mercedes-Benz dealer. However, the Mercedes Benz dealer informed the contact that they only perform recall repairs on Mercedes-Benz ve

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. *tr

2006 Dodge sprinter 2500 hc 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 only in hot weather, 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 four times this week, 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 t

August 22, 2010, I was on I 25 in my winnebago itasca navion traveling at 60 to 70 MPH and suddenly lost power. I stopped, got more diesel and started driving at lower speeds by still lost power and could barely climb hills. I was just limping along with my emergency flashers on hoping I wouldn't be rearended. The model is 2006 with a Mercedes/benz 5 cylinder turbo engine with 19,500 miles on it. This is really dangerous. Is there a recall on this engine? *tr

Resonator failed at 15,200 miles causing a dangerous situation. My sprinter was purchased from maxwell Dodge in austin tx on my behalf by sportsmobile in austin who did an rv conversion on it. The nearest authorized dealer from my home is moss brothers Dodge in san bernardino ca they replaced the resonator on 9/18/09 with mileage at l5,308. With reports of multiple failures, including failures of a newer revision, I am concerned for my safety and others. My van is used exclusively for camping, usually in remote mountain areas with narrow steep roads, often without guard rails which do not have areas to pull over or pass. This would endanger lives in the event of a resonator failure which makes the vehicle incapable of moving on an incline as well as dangerous on a freeway when it su

I was driving on a relatively flat road and heard a pop noise from the engine area and the vehicle lost approximately 40 to 60% engine power, I was able to get it to my home less than 5 miles distance, I got it into a shop for repairs and they were not an authorized warranty repair shop, which cost me $404. I then had the vehicle towed to an authorized repair facility approximately 35 miles away.

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! *tr

I was attempting to pass a big slow moving truck going uphill when my van suddenly lost power. Another 18 wheeled truck was behind me also trying to pass the same slow moving truck which was on the right lane. The truck behind me had to slam on his brakes to avoid rear-ending me. I had to wait until the truck which I was attempting to pass, passed me so I could go back to the left lane causing irate motorists behind me and causing a lot of safety concerns. It was extremely dangerous and I was traveling with wife and two kids. *tr

Gear shifter was able to be moved from park to neutral without the keys in the ignition or the "bypass" switch being pressed. A 5 year old was able to move the shifter into neutral without key in the ignition or pressing the bypass button which allowed the vehicle to roll down a hill.
