Issue ID	1705340
Internal NHTSA #	11375403
Manufacurer	Daimler Vans USA, LLC
Brand	MERCEDES BENZ
Model	SPRINTER 3500
Model Year	2014
File date	25/10/20
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I was driving on the highway during rain and 3 messages displayed on the dash: 1) esp (electronic stability program) visit workshop, 2) asr (acceleration slip regulation) icon visit workshop and 3) abs (anti-lock braking system) visit workshop. Also received collision avoidance assist inoperative notification. I pulled off the highway and experienced unexpected acceleration and erratic gear shifting resulting in extremely unsafe operation. Later, mercedes service determined the left rear wheel speed sensor was the problem (see attached). Diagnosis and fix was $473. 99 plus tax. They said this is a common problem with sprinters especially if uplifted to rv. I understand there is an ongoing nhtsa investigation of this problem. I strongly believe these wheel speed sensors should be recalled due to their effect on esp, asr, abs and collision avoidance assist causing unexpected acceleration and erratic gear shifting which results in extremely unsafe operation.
