2007 DODGE SPRINTER

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.

“During 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.”

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 chrysler/dodge dealerships don't service sprinters, as they haven't been rebranded by dodge since 2007, and the mercedes dealerships either don't have access to the Dodge recall system, or are unwilling to assist, as they are not affiliated with the recall. I called 1800- 992-1997, to speak with chrysler, (Case # [XXX]) and spent another 42 minutes on the phone yesterday, still unable to find a solution. They called another handful of dealerships, seemingly not believing that Dodge dealerships would be unwilling to service a dodge sprinter. They stated that I could probably bring it to mercedes sprinter and have the work done, and then apply for reimbursement, although they would not guarantee me in writing that they would cover the expense. I have been working on a solution for probably close to the last 6 months. I have recently been forced to drive this vehicle daily, which makes me more concerned, as my children are frequently inside. “INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).”

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE DODGE RECALL PEOPLE FOR THE LAST YEAR AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANY ACTION ON THEIR PART. THEY HAVE PUT ME IN CONTACT WITH ALL THE DODGE DEALERS IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND NONE OF THEM WILL WORK ON MY SPRINTER. PART OF THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY VEHICLE IS AN RV BUILT ONTO THE DODGE SPRINTER AND ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THAT IN 2007 DODGE WAS OWNED BY MERCEDES BENS AND DODGE DOES NOT FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR MERCEDES PRODUCTS.

TAKATA RECALL; MANUFACTURER IS UNABLE TO REMEDY SAFETY RECALL. NO INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED. LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO REPLACE TAKATA AIRBAGS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT "HAVE THE TOOLS FOR A SPRINTER VAN". THEY ARE NOT HELPFUL IN ARRIVING AT A SOLUTION. DEALERSHIP IS BILLION DODGE-CHRYSLER JEEP IN BOZEMAN, MT 406-556-9076

TAKATA RECALL DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDES. BOTH RECALLED. NO DODGE OR MERCEDES DEALERS WITHIN 60 MILES OF US ARE WILLING TO REPLACE THESE AIRBAGS. INITIALLY, AFTER WE WERE NOTIFIED OF INITIAL RECALL ON DRIVERS SIDE, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT GET PARTS. NOW THEY CAN GET PARTS BUT THEY ALL SAY THEY CANNOT OR WILL NOT PERFORM THIS REPLACEMENT. HOW CAN WE POSSIBLE GET THIS WORK DONE? HOW MANY DEALERS DO WE HAVE TO CONTACT TO FIND ONE WHO WILL DO THIS WORK? WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS? I KEEP READING THAT SO MANY PEOPLE JUST HAVE NOT BOTHERED HAVING THE RECALL WORK DONE, BUT WE HAVE TRIED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES TO DO IT....IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE IT.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED OF AN S14 RECALL SOME TIME AGO I THEN CALLED THE DEALER (DULUTH DODGE) TO TAKE CARE OF THE RECALL. MY INFORMATION WAS TAKEN DOWN & I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD CALL WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I HAVE SINCE RECEIVED A R49 RECALL & UPON CALLING THE DEALER I WAS TOLD PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE & THAT I SHOULD CALL BACK IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE, THIS WAS DIFFERENT INFORMATION THAN THE FIRST RECALL ; TWO DIFFERENT STORIES. WHAT DO I BELIEVE & HOW DO I GET THESE RECALLS RESOLVED.

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITHOUT ELECTRIC LOCKS BUT THE VAN DOESN'T HAVE A WAY OF UNLOCKING/LOCKING THE TWO FRONT DOOR FROM THE INTERIOR. MEANING IF THE PASSENGER WANTED TO UNLOCK/LOCK HIS DOOR HE COULDN'T. THE ONLY WAY OF LOCKING THE DOOR IS FROM OUTSIDE WITH THE KEY. I HAVE READ NHTSA DOOR LOCK REGULATIONS AND IT SAID THAT ALL DOORS MUST BE ABLE TO BE LOCKED/UNLOCKED FROM THE INTERIOR. WAS THIS RULE IN EFFECT IN 2006 WHEN THIS VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED? I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE MANUFACTURE FIX THIS PROBLEM IF THE VAN WAS NOT SAFETY COMPLIANCE WHEN IT WAS PRODUCED.

MY 2007 DODGE SPRINTER SUFFERS FROM THE SAME WATER LEAK FROM THE ROOF AC SEAL. THE MERCEDES BENZ BUILT DODGE SPRINTER HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND MB AND DODGE SHUFFLE ME BACK AND FORTH TO EACH OTHER. MANY OWNERS HAVE PAID FOR MULTIPLE DEALER REPAIRS ONLY TO HAVE THE LEAK RETURN. A CLASS ACTION SUIT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL AGAINST MB, BUT THEY WILL NOT EXTEND THE REPAIRS TO DODGED BADGED MODELS. DODGE REFERS ME TO MB. THIS IS DANGEROUS PROBLEM BECAUSE A WATERFALL LEAK POURING INTO YOUR VAN CAN CAUSE A DRIVER TO LOOSE CONCENTRATION AND DRIFT INTO ANOTHER LANE. THE VAN'S ROOF AC TAKES ON WATER WHILE PARKED OR IN MOTION AND CAN DUMP SEVERAL CUPS OF WATER WHILE THE VAN IS IN MOTION.

2007 WINNEBAGO VIEW ,RIGHT SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR HAS A LARGE BLIND SPOT. DUE TO WHAT I BELIEVE IS A DEFECTIVE MIRROR AS IT IS 2 INCHES SHORTER THAN THE DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR.

ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

I HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT MODEL YEAR 2007 DODGE SPRINTER VANS HAVE TWO SERIOUS PRODUCT DEFECTS: 1.A DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE WHICH APPARENTLY READS HALF FULL WHEN THE VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF GASOLINE. 2.VERY LOW FUEL ECONOMY OF ABOUT 5 MPG RATHER THAN THE EXPECTED 15 MPG. THE COMBINATION OF HIGH GAS CONSUMPTION AND A DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE RESULTS IN THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY STOPPING WHEN THE GASOLINE TANK IS EMPTY. I AM AWARE OF FOUR VEHICLES OPERATED BY A SMALL COMPANY IN CHICAGO ALL OF WHICH HAVE THIS PROBLEM. BOTH THE DEALER, SHERMAN DODGE IN SKOKIE, IL AND CHRYSLER LLC HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE DEFECTS FOR OVER A MONTH. I PERSONALLY HAVE OVER 38 YEARS OF BUSINESS EXPERIENCE (13 AS A CONSULTANT) IN THE COMMERCIAL VEHICLE INDUSTRY INCLUDING EXPERIENCE AS AN ENGINEER AND EXPERT WITNESS IN PERSONAL INJURY CASES INVOLVING POTENTIAL PRODUCT DEFECTS. BASED ON MY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, IT IS MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION THAT THE PRODUCT DEFECTS ON THESE VEHICLES REPRESENT A SERIOUS RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO THE OWNERS AND DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES, AS WELL AS, OTHER PEOPLE WHO MAY ENCOUNTER ONE OF THESE STALLED VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES ARE UNEXPECTEDLY STALLING ON THE BUSY STREETS AND EXPRESSWAYS IN CHICAGO. THE DRIVER MAY NOT HAVE THE TIME OR OPPORTUNITY TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE LOCATION BEFORE IT ROLLS TO A STOP. OTHER COMPANY EMPLOYEES ARE HAULING GASOLINE IN CANS IN THEIR VEHICLES TO RESCUE THESE STALLED VEHICLES. HAULING GASOLINE IN A CAN, IN A VEHICLE IS NOT A GOOD SITUATION. STANDING ON A BUSY STREET OR EXPRESSWAY WITH TRUCKS AND CAR SPEEDING PAST WHILE POUR GASOLINE FROM A CAN INTO ONE OF THESE STALLED DEFECTIVE SPRINTERS IS VERY RISKY. I BELIEVE IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF ONE OF THESE DODGE SPRINTERS STALLING UNEXPECTEDLY. ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN IMMEDIATELY TO CORRECT THESE PRODUCT DEFECTS BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR
