What owners report
Short excerpts of US owner complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by the regulator; personal data removed.
My two nearby dealers (Hudson Valley Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and Dutchess Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram) both state they sold their tools to work on sprinter vans and refuse to complete the recall. I currently have no nearby options to complete this safety recall, and i cannot get my vehicle inspected.
âDuring inspection, both rear main leaf springs were found cracked symmetrically due to fatigue failure. Similar rear leaf spring defect was previously recalled on adjacent VIN ranges. Failure affects rear ride height and vehicle stability. No signs of overload or impact damage observed.â
I have received a letter from the FCA US LLC regarding recalls for both airbags. I have called 3-4 times requesting this service. Because the van is technically a dodge (although made by mercedes, back in 2007) there is no Dodge dealerships that will agree to service the vehicle.
The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V077000 (Air Bags) and 17V478000 (Air Bags) however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The dealer was made aware of the issue.
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 ([address], henderson, [ZIP], [phone]) where an appointment was scheduled.
As a result, there was a fuel leak. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was informed of nhtsa campaign number: 07v325000 (fuel system) for certain 2007 dodge sprinters. The dealer (peterson dodge chrysler jeep ram, [address], nampa, [ZIP]) stated that the vehicle was not on the recall list.
The contact stated that the tail lights failed to illuminate. The bulbs were replaced, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the technician was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge sprinter. The contact stated that while attempting to exit the vehicle, the passenger's side rear sliding door closed erroneously, striking the contact abruptly on the head. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.
