| Description of the problem | On february 14, 2019, we were driving our 2016 mercedes-benz sprinter 3500 rv in heavy traffic during a rainstorm in spring hill, florida. Multiple dash warning lights came on indicating the vehicle abs braking system had failed. The vehicle began shifting very erratically while we were in traffic. The vehicle eventually would not shift out of first gear which placed us in a very dangerous situation as we tried to get out of the traffic stream and find a safe place to park the vehicle. We had to have the vehicle towed approximately 35 miles to the nearest mercedes-benz sprinter service center in wesley chapel, florida. They ultimately determined that one of the vehicle? S rear speed sensors had failed and they replaced it. The repairs were made under mercedes-benz warranty. Speed sensor failure on the mercedes-benz sprinter 3500 has been previously reported by others under nhtsa id numbers 11196530,11138785,11124129, 11093070. |
