The emergency parking brake will not disengage. Renders vehicle immobile.
This report concerns the crosswind assistance function on a Mercedes Sprinter van. Whenever a crosswind is detected, vehicle will radically and unevenly apply brakes. In my case, it most often seems to apply the front driver’s side brake. This results in a sudden dive towards the braking wheel and an uncommanded dramatic slowing of the vehicle. This is unnerving to say the least, and cannot be safe when doing 70 mph on an interstate alongside a tractor trailer, with another behind me, as I was doing in southern Nevada the first time I experienced it. While this form asks for the date the incident occurs, I am citing the first time I experienced it, but it is ongoing.
The contact owns a 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, he briefly lost control of the vehicle after the crosswind stabilization system activated, drastically reducing speed to under 50 MPH and pulling the vehicle into the right lane. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence while driving through light crosswinds. The crosswind warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 2,000.
During the week of [XXX], 2024 my Sprinter 3500, engine will not start. All lights come on dash. Called AAA insurance and they tried to jump start, vehicle would not start. Battery voltage good 12. 3 voltages. Towed the vehicle to Dealer. Dealer performed several tests, found ground W105 /3 missing securing nut. W105 is ground under the driver's seat grounded to the vehicle to provide grounding. This can only be reached by removing the driver's seat. The grounding nut was missing. The Dealer charged me $916.08. I mention to Mecedes-Benz Service advisor Brock Keck in Sacramento, it should be covered under warranty. They told me it is not covered under warranty. I bought the vehicle in 2022. I strongly believe that the ground nut was not installed properly by the Mercedes-Benz where the vehicle was assembled or manufactured. The millage in the vehicle is approximately 5,800 miles now. I am the first owner. Please help me to resolve this issue with the dealer. Thank you for your assistance to this matter.

The contact owns a 2023 Renegade RV built on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Chassis. The contact stated that while an independent mechanic was servicing the vehicle, he noticed that the rear inner tires had rubber valve stems. The contact stated that an independent mechanic had informed him that the rubber material of the valve stems was inadequate for the RV weight capacity. The mechanic informed the contact that the rubber material was inadequate because the generation of heat while driving could add more pressure to the tire, which could in turn damage the rubber valve stems, and could cause the tire to deflate or to blow out. The mechanic replaced the rear inner tires rubber valve stems with steel valve stems. The contact stated that the information had raised concerns because the rubber valve stems had caused the tires of the RV he previously owned to fail while driving. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 8,000.
This is regarding a 2023 Winnebago View 24D RV on a 2022 Mercedes Sprinter chassis. While attempting to back up an incline (transmission in reverse gear) the RV will not move. Engine revs up to only approximately 1800 rpm, but the RV remains stationary. Incline is our driveway, connecting to a parking area for the RV off to the side. Climbing hills with transmission in "Drive" is no problem. I took the RV to Mercedes Benz of Knoxville, Tenn., and they stated that they could not duplicate the issue, that the vehicle performs "as designed". They further stated that they had another vehicle in the shop for service and it performed in the same manner. I have no idea how steep an incline they tried, but our driveway is fairly steep. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is 11,030 lbs. I had the RV weighed after loading it fully, and it totaled 10,725 lbs. No warnings appeared on the dash and no telltale symptoms. Mileage on the RV is 3150. Issue first appeared at approx. 2700, after I had the parking area built, so I can only assume the issue was present since new; I had never tried to back uphill before this. Backing up on level ground presents no problem. I tried calling MB technical support, but they only told me that I had to take it to a dealer; that they had no other options. I have a copy of the service order from Mercedes of Knoxville, but currently not able to scan. Will be able to at a later date.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
