| Description of the problem | Driving down the road, and turbo resonator cracked on 2006 itasca navion (dodge sprinter chassis/mercedes diesel). This has happened twice, resulting in deceleration necessitating stopping and calling service, or if you continue to drive, progressive deceleration until the vehicle quits moving altogether. Not very safe at all, and this should be addressed by the manufacturer who, like toyota, continues to ignore this common, not coincidental, poor part design. Warranty replacement isn't enough after failure and near death! Let's get some action: write your state's attorney general and the better business bureau with copies of mercedes. This needs to be exposed! |
