What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2022 Field Van Sprinter, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Others had the dealers tried to calibrate the sensors without any different in the result. •Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? oNo •Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? oYes •Here the scenarios that repeats. oAfter you drive the vehicle for an extended period with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) on a road with light to no traffic the "Active Distance Assist" feature that automatically disables the cruise control if it doesn't detect other vehicles in front for a certain period. It is also disabling the Active Brake Assist which I believe one to the safety features and this is the reason I chose this manufacture versus others.
