 Description of the problemOn july 7, 2019, we were driving our 2016 mercedes-benz sprinter 3500 rv in heavy traffic during a rainstorm in branson, missouri. Multiple dash warning lights came on indicating the vehicle abs braking system had failed. This was the same failure we had experienced with this vehicle in february, 2019. The branson area is extremely hilly being part of the ozark ? Mountains?. We were obviously very concerned about the significant dangers of trying to drive in this area without a working braking system. We were able to drive our sprinter to our rv park and park it. We spent all day on monday, july 8, getting the unit towed 90 miles to bentonville, arkansas, the nearest mercedes-benz sprinter service center. We spent all the next day at the service center getting the unit repaired. Again, one of the rear speed sensors was found to be the problem and it was replaced. Our repair was delayed at the service center while the mercedes-benz service center was waiting for approval on repairing this speed sensor. The service manager indicated that mercedes-benz had issued a service bulletin related to speed sensor failures on mercedes-benz sprinters within the last month and they had to get approval mercedes-benz in germany before making repairs. The repairs were made by mercedes-benz as an extension of our warranty. There have been multiple reports of speed sensor failures on mercedes-benz sprinters on the nhtsa website and numerous other sprinter/sprinter rv websites. Speed sensor failure on the mercedes-benz sprinter 3500 has been reported by others under nhtsa id numbers 11196530,11138785,11124129, 11093070, 11232230.
