Resonator failure on a 2006 dodge sprinter (winnebago view). When the resonator breaks, it poses a significant danger of an accident occurring due to the sudden and complete loss of engine power. This sudden rapid deceleration without any warning sign of any kind causes a serious and unacceptable safety hazard not only to us but also to any other person on the road. It has broken down on may 17, 2007, may 27, 2009 and august 17, 2010. Repair was made by replacing the resonator.

August 22, 2010, I was on I 25 in my winnebago itasca navion traveling at 60 to 70 MPH and suddenly lost power. I stopped, got more diesel and started driving at lower speeds by still lost power and could barely climb hills. I was just limping along with my emergency flashers on hoping I wouldn't be rearended. The model is 2006 with a mercedes/benz 5 cylinder turbo engine with 19,500 miles on it. This is really dangerous. Is there a recall on this engine?

Resonator failed at 15,200 miles causing a dangerous situation. My sprinter was purchased from maxwell dodge in austin tx on my behalf by sportsmobile in austin who did an rv conversion on it. The nearest authorized dealer from my home is moss brothers dodge in san bernardino ca they replaced the resonator on 9/18/09 with mileage at l5,308. With reports of multiple failures, including failures of a newer revision, I am concerned for my safety and others. My van is used exclusively for camping, usually in remote mountain areas with narrow steep roads, often without guard rails which do not have areas to pull over or pass. This would endanger lives in the event of a resonator failure which makes the vehicle incapable of moving on an incline as well as dangerous on a freeway when it suddenly loses power. In my research I found an aluminum resonator which eliminates the problem. Moss brothers dodge told me they have installed this resonator, however the customer has to provide it and sign a waiver because it does not have a filter. If a problem occurs with the turbo which is determined to be caused by particles that got through the system, it would not be covered by the warranty. Please advise me on how to handle this dangerous situation. Updated 10/26/10. *lj updated 10/26/10
