2016 Mercedes benz SPRINTER 3500 Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1303911

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The vehicle has excessive brake pedal free-play travel before braking occurs. Although the manufacturer's owners manual warns against pumping the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, it is imperative to do so especially in an emergency situation. If the driver has to hesitate to make a decision on whether to brake or accelerate, the free-play travel will not allow the driver enough time to brake safely. The vehicle is difficult to bring to a safe stop unless the brake pedal is pumped at least two pumps before it feels like and brakes like a normal system. The existence of this condition was confirmed by a local mercedes dealership technician. His response was, "this is normal for the 1-ton chassis to have a soft, spongy pedal and may go to the floor before the brake grabs, but in a emergency situation it will stop even if the pedal is almost to the floor."
