| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2017 rv (17,00 mi) mercedes benz chassis in dec 2019 and in feb 2020 while driving home from a camping trip (55 mph highway) the warning light come on and vehicle was surging. I looked up the issue (wheel sensor failure) and slowly drove home. Got app with mb dealer and rear sensor replacement made under warrentry. I talked with previous owner and was given the history of rear wheel sensor failures with this rv. Below is his record nov 2018 (12,00 mi) both rear wheel sensor failures and replaced. April 2019 rear wheel sensor failed and replaced. July 2019 one sensor failed and replaced. I have read where this has been a continued failure issue with mb wheel sensors. Please look into this issue and get mb to correct the problem. Thank you |
