REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILURE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR IN EACH OF THE LAST 3 YEARS. WHEN THE SENSOR FAILS THE ABS SYSTEM STOPS OPERATING. CRUISE CONTROL IS DISABLED AND TRACTION CONTROL IS DISABLED. VEHICLE IS STILL DRIVABLE, BUT SAFETY SYSTEMS ARE LOST UNTIL REPAIRED. BASED ON WEB SEARCHES THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE AND MODEL YEAR. I HAVE NOT HAD A DANGEROUS INCIDENT WHEN THE SENSOR GAVE OUT THOUGH I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH SOME UNCOMMANDED BRAKING.
I HAVE HAD TWO FAILURES OF A REAR SPEED SENSOR WHICH HAVE CAUSED A LOSS OF ANTI LOCK BRAKING, TRACTION CONTROL, AND CRUISE CONTROL. THE MOST RECENT FAILURE ON OCT 14, 2020 ALSO RESULTED IN SOME ERRATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. ALL OF THESE THINGS IMPACT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. IN BOTH FAILURES THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.
The contact owns a 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500.

My Sprinter van was purchased used, and I was alerted of a recall on my vehicle where I took it in for service. However, the issues were not addressed and caused further damage to my vehicle. When I addressed those issues, I contacted the manufacturer, who refused to reimburse me for the repairs. The vehicle, despite it still being "fixed", continues to have ongoing issues related to the recall.

VEHICLE HAS A HIGH FAILURE RATE FOR TIRE ROTATION SPEED SENSORS. THIS CONDITION IMMEDIATELY DISABLES THE ANTILOCK BRAKES, STABILITY CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL AND CRUISE CONTROL. VEHICLE MILEAGE WAS 31000 MILES AT LOSS OF THIRD SENSOR. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AT THE TIME OF ALL FAILURES.
REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILURE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR IN EACH OF THE LAST 3 YEARS. WHEN THE SENSOR FAILS THE ABS SYSTEM STOPS OPERATING. CRUISE CONTROL IS DISABLED AND TRACTION CONTROL IS DISABLED. VEHICLE IS STILL DRIVABLE, BUT SAFETY SYSTEMS ARE LOST UNTIL REPAIRED. BASED ON WEB SEARCHES THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE AND MODEL YEAR. I HAVE NOT HAD A DANGEROUS INCIDENT WHEN THE SENSOR GAVE OUT THOUGH I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH SOME UNCOMMANDED BRAKING.
I HAVE HAD TWO FAILURES OF A REAR SPEED SENSOR WHICH HAVE CAUSED A LOSS OF ANTI LOCK BRAKING, TRACTION CONTROL, AND CRUISE CONTROL. THE MOST RECENT FAILURE ON OCT 14, 2020 ALSO RESULTED IN SOME ERRATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. ALL OF THESE THINGS IMPACT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. IN BOTH FAILURES THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MILES AN HOUR ON INTERSTATE AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THEN ACCELERATED AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON AT THE TIME.
