The DPF weld failed, driver and children stranded in no cell area. Hot Exhaust emitted melting the entire CAN wiring network of the coach. This follows a turbo failure/dealership repair that led to another breakdown stranding another driver, resulting in another tow ( ALL BELTS shredded because in the first repair the tensioner was not secured) $9000 repair. Transmission oil leak fixed but less than 4000 miles later, this coach broke down and displayed problems that were supposed to have been fixed. 3 Dealership service centers involved: Mercedes Benz St George 9-2026; Warner Vans 9-2026; Warner Vans 3-20-2026, Mercedes Westminister, CO( documented coach in excellent condition, video shows DPF in tact, but less than 1000 miles later, the WELD snapped leading to major damages. MERCEDES SPRINTERS are a critical SAFETY HAZARD as there are still numerous EMISSIONS, and EXHAUST design problems that are leading to breakdowns, without check engine lights, stranded people at night, disrupting businesses, and their recall and extended warranty systems are inadequate to antiicipate problems. The current DPF "insufficient weld" recall is for 2017-2018 based Sprinters. I DOUBT that the DPF part was made by a different manufacturer in 2015-2017. I have owned a fleet of Sprinters ( over 20) and they are campervans on the Sprinter chassis. So the campervan year is always 1-2 yrs later that the chassis year. I have cases of documentation on EMISSION failures, TURBO failures, Exhaust and Emission failures going bak to 2011 when they redesigned these systems to be in line with Diesel emission legal changes. The customer is always informed CONSIDERABLY after the company ( Mercedes) is aware of problems. Often dealers are "left in the dark" according to several MB Sprinter advisors I have talked to. Since I rent campervans on that chassis, MY CLIENTS ARE ALWAYS AT RISK of BEING STRANDED. I have plenty of documentation- - I need an email to send it to.
