My two nearby dealers (Hudson Valley Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and Dutchess Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram) both state they sold their tools to work on sprinter vans and refuse to complete the recall. I currently have no nearby options to complete this safety recall, and i cannot get my vehicle inspected.

Equipment adaptive/mobility
- What is wrong
- Sunset vans is recalling 169 my 2005-2007 econoline, g series and sprinter trucks built on dodge, ford and chevrolet chassis and equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift system accessible for motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user.

What 2007 Dodge Sprinter owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
“During inspection, both rear main leaf springs were found cracked symmetrically due to fatigue failure. Similar rear leaf spring defect was previously recalled on adjacent VIN ranges. Failure affects rear ride height and vehicle stability. No signs of overload or impact damage observed.”
I have received a letter from the FCA US LLC regarding recalls for both airbags. I have called 3-4 times requesting this service. Because the van is technically a dodge (although made by mercedes, back in 2007) there is no Dodge dealerships that will agree to service the vehicle. The chrysler/dodge dealerships don't service sprinters, as they haven't been rebranded by dodge since 2007, and the mercedes dealerships either don't have access to the Dodge recall system, or are unwilling to assist, as they are not affiliated with the recall. I called 1800- 992-1997, to speak with chrysler, (Case # [XXX]) and spent another 42 minutes on the phone yesterday, still unable to find a solution. They called another handful of dealerships, seemingly not believing that Dodge dealerships would be unwilling to service a dodge sprinter. They stated that I could probably bring it to mercedes sprinter and have the work done, and then apply for reimbursement, although they would not guarantee me in writing that they would cover the expense. I have been working on a solution for probably close to the last 6 months. I have recently been forced to drive this vehicle daily, which makes me more concerned, as my children are frequently inside. “INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).”

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 (na) dodge sprinter. The contact stated that the vehicle lost power, failed to start, and decelerated while driving on a weekly basis. In addition, the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to towbin dodge (275 auto mall dr, henderson, nv 89014, (702) 558-3800) where an appointment was scheduled. When the contact arrived at the dealer, they stated that there was no appointment in their system. The vehicle was then taken to chapman dodge sahara (3175 e sahara ave, las vegas, nv 89104, (702) 457-1061) where the staff was extremely rude and shunned the contact away. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and scheduled an appointment at the first dodge dealer.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge sprinter cargo van. The contact stated that the fuel tank fastening straps became loose, which caused the plastic valve in the fuel tank to detach.

Takata recall: I have been in contact with the dodge recall people for the last year and have not been able to get any action on their part. They have put me in contact with all the dodge dealers in south florida and none of them will work on my sprinter. Part of the problem is that my vehicle is an rv built onto the dodge sprinter and another problem is that in 2007 dodge was owned by mercedes bens and dodge does not feel responsible for mercedes products.
Takata recall; manufacturer is unable to remedy safety recall. No incidents have occurred. Local dodge dealership is unable to replace takata airbags because they do not "have the tools for a sprinter van". They are not helpful in arriving at a solution. Dealership is billion dodge-chrysler jeep in bozeman, mt 406‑556‑9076
2007 dodge sprinter. Consumer writes in regards to driver airbag module safety recall. *ld the consumer stated after the dealer completed the recall, there were SRS error codes present that they refused to repair. Upated 11/07/2017
Takata recall driver & passenger sides. Both recalled. No dodge or mercedes dealers within 60 miles of us are willing to replace these airbags. Initially, after we were notified of initial recall on drivers side, they said they could not get parts. Now they can get parts but they all say they cannot or will not perform this replacement. How can we possible get this work done? How many dealers do we have to contact to find one who will do this work? Who is responsible for this? I keep reading that so many people just have not bothered having the recall work done, but we have tried on several different times to do it....it just doesn't seem possible to achieve it.
