Consumer writes in regards to early failures on mercedes 642 v6 engine *tgwthe consumer purchased a winnebago navion motorhome which came equipped with an engine manufactured by mercedes. The consumer stated the rv started to shift in a strange manner after a few hundred miles, then after a thousand miles, the shifting became very erratic, so the consumer did mostly manually shifting. After the egr was replaced, the rv shifted fine. However, at 23,576 miles, the power steering pump failed and two pins the held the pump in place failed.
While driving on the expressway in my 2007 itasca navion, the turbo resonator failed. That caused the speed to drop quickly to 40 mph. I nearly avoided an accident with a truck that was behind me. The part is made of plastic and is in a hot environment. The seams separate and causes the vehicle to go into limp home mode. This defect has been discussed widely in several internet forums. The part was replaced by a dodge sprinter dealer and the parts man said that they have replaced many of them.
The turbo resonators on 2002-2007, 2.7 mercedes benz diesel engines are defective!i am on my third one, and i only have 15,000 miles on my engine, which is in a 2007 itasca navion motor home. When they go out on the interstate, you are put in a very dangerous situation because you cannot go over 45 mph, and you're life is putin danger. I have emailed mercedes benz/dodge/winnebago and they say they don't have a problem, but they do!! i have gone online searching out this defect and could not believe the number of people who have experienced this same life or death situation, due to their turbo resonator going bad. It seems that this warrants a recall,to fix this dangerous defective product and we need your intervention.. There is a company that makes a replacement turbo resonator and guarantees it for the life of the engine, but mercedes benz nor dodge will put it on, instead they keep replacing it with one that will not withstand the vibration and heat of the turbo.so, in about 4000 miles, when it goes out again, i pray i can get off the road safely, then hope there's a dodge dealer close by to repair it quickly. Please help us before wemight become a highway statistic. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I have a 2007 itasca navionwith a 2.7 mercedes benz diesel engine on a dodge sprinter chassis. This past saturday, may 29, 2010, i had to take my rv into kings dodge to have my third resonator replaced because when one goes out, you cannot go over 45 mph on the interstate, and this is dangerous.my rv only has15,649 miles on it!, so i think that a recall needs to be made, by you, so mercedes benz corrects this resonator problem. I got online with this problem and could not believe the number of resonator complaints there were.thank you for your help..
Failure of the plastic turbo noise dampener caused immediate loss of power and placing us in a precarious situation while going uphill on a busy highway.
