What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Failure of the plastic turbo noise dampener caused immediate loss of power and placing us in a precarious situation while going uphill on a busy highway.
However, at 23,576 miles, the power steering pump failed and two pins the held the pump in place failed.
There is a company that makes a replacement turbo resonator and guarantees it for the life of the engine, but mercedes benz nor dodge will put it on, instead they keep replacing it with one that will not withstand the vibration and heat of the turbo.so, in about 4000 miles, when it goes out again, I pray I can get off…
I have a 2007 itasca navion with a 2.7 mercedes benz diesel engine on a dodge sprinter chassis. This past saturday, may 29, 2010, I had to take my rv into kings dodge to have my third resonator replaced because when one goes out, you cannot go over 45 mph on the interstate, and this is dangerous.
