Description of the problem	I own an rv on a mercedes 3500 sprinter chasis. I have experienced numerous failures that cause the rv to speed up rapidly and i have to take emergency action to avoid an accident. Usually, i shift into neutral to disengage the transmission. I have ~43,000 miles on my rv and i have experienced this issue and mercedes has replaced the wheel sensors 6 different times. All maintenance performed on the vehicle has been provided by a mercedes dealer service center. Doesn't seem to matter if i am driving on the freeway or city streets, when the failure happens, the vehicle starts to accelerate rapidly, rpms skyrocket, the dashboard gets three trouble indicator lights that come on, the check engine light comes on. I am picking up the vehicle from the local mercedes dealer today after just having another sensor failure. I was driving on i-10 when the most recent failure occurred. The vehicle began to accelerate, rpms went very high. Very scary situation. The "when did this happen" date i've entered is for the most recent failure. I have experienced this issue numerous times.
