| Description of the problem | My sprinter is a very low mileage sprinter, i just recently passed the 6,000 miles ( it is a 2011 model) the car has been incorporated in my company's fleet. I own an executive ground transportation company, recently on a local trip transporting some executive passengers, it started to rain heavily and water started to pour inside the rear section of the van just where the passengers were seating! The water was coming down thru the a/c vents!! This is terrible. I looked everywhere only and it is a common issue with the sprinters, i just don't understand why is not a recall, also there is a major lawsuit going on in california. |
