2008 Dodge Sprinter 3500 Problems

Dodge was not able to replace the passenger airbag. No dealers could replace it. I had the passenger airbag replaced by a Mercedes Sprinter dealership and was reimbursed by Dodge. The problem is they can not remove the recall from NHTSA. I still get email and mail telling me to replace the passenger airbag. I've called 4 times over 2 years. Each time they say they'll fix it. It still shows the recall is not complete. How can I remedy this? Dodge has been no help.

THE DODGE DEALER IN BELLEVUE WASHINGTON REFUSED TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIRS. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T PUT THE VEHICLE ON THEIR LIFT, EVEN THOUGH AIRBAG REPLACEMENT DOESN'T REQUIRE THAT. THEY REFERRED ME TO SEATTLE MERCEDES, WHICH ALSO REFUSED TO DO THE RECALL.

The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Sprinter 3500. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the contact noticed that several unknown warning lights were illuminated and suddenly the vehicle failed to accelerate. The vehicle decelerated to 10 MPH with the accelerator pedal depressed to the floorboard. The contact pulled the vehicle into a parking lot, restarted the vehicle and the vehicle temporarily operated as designed before the failure recurred. The contact had the vehicle towed to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure but retrieved a failure code for the ABS control module. The contact was informed that the ABS control module needed to be replaced. The ABS control module was replaced however, the failure code remained. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown,

THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS WORN OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING TOO LARGE TO LIFT. THE CONTACT HAD THE SPARE TIRE INSTALLED AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 7,000 MILES WHEN IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE SPARE TIRE HAD WORN. NONE OF THE OTHER TIRES HAD WORN. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR BOARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED CONTINUOUSLY IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A STOP. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

We've had multiple issues with starting the vehicle. After number attempts to eradicate the issue, I Google searched the problems and found that the y connect harness from battery to alternator and starter had been remanufactured for improvement 3 times. I'm uncertain why this part did not have a recall for my vehicle. Mercedes manufacturer for our motor should be responsible for this issue since there have been so many reported issues with this part. Can you please evaluate the complaint and advise.

2010 FLEETWOOD "ICON" (2008 SPRINTER CHASSIS) 33,612 MILES VIN [XXX] THE DODGE SPRINTER RV I PURCHASED (USED, 16,500 MILES) IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR (2013) FROM A PRIVATE RV DEALER IN OREGON HAS A SERIOUS (INTERMITTENT) ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT DODGE/CHRYSLER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REPAIR AFTER 5 OR 6 ATTEMPTS IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS, BOTH IN OREGON AND CALIFORNIA. I DROVE THE RV TO ALASKA STARTING IN MAY OF THIS YEAR AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO VALDEZ, AK THE ENGINE JUST CUT OUT AND I LOST ALL ELECTRICAL. I COASTED TO A STOP AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STARTED, BUT I HAD A NUMBER OF WARNING LIGHTS ON MY DASH. FROM THIS POINT FORWARD I DEVELOPED ISSUES WITH MY GLOW-PLUG LIGHT NOT ILLUMINATING AND BEING UNABLE TO START MY MOTOR. DRIVING THROUGH WASHINGTON/OREGON I CONTINUED TO LOOK FOR A DEALERSHIP THAT COULD CHECK MY RV OUT, BUT ALL BUT ONE IN BEAVERTON, OREGON COULDN'T ACCOMMODATE THE SIZE OF MY RV. MEANWHILE I EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH STARTING/DYING. THE DEALERSHIP IN BEAVERTON COULDN'T LOCATE MY PROBLEM, BUT GAVE ME COPIES OF THE NUMEROUS AND STRANGE TROUBLE CODES MY VEHICLE WAS POSTING WHEN IT DIED/OR WOULDN'T START. THE RV IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS BEEN IN TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE OF DYING WHILE DRIVING (SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH THE MECHANIC AT CROWN DODGE DUPLICATED). THE OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE "NO START" (INTERMITTENT) AND NO CLEARANCE LIGHTS (CONSTANT). INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE IN MOTION. PROGRESSIVELY WORSE VIBRATION TO THE POINT OF REQUIRING A TOW.
