I love the 2015 Sprinter 2500 V6 diesel
I got my Sprinter March 2015 since than ,I run in few unpleasant issues ,everything that happened with my van in a 10 months period time ,hard to find Mercedes dealers that do service for Sprinter vans when I'm out of state,I live in Michigan ,very frustrating .
Least 4 aligniaments and still have issues on front,
After my first 500 miles issues with DEF / DPF system .
Bad Nox sensor about few times witch is time consuming and money loss and no one sims to care and do something about.
Even now the van is still in warranty 120000 miles since March 2015 but soon won't be in warranty and I'm about to lose my minde ,do to the fact that now I'm losing money for the down time and once the warranty it is over I will lose big money for down time and repaire do to the bad and faulty DEF/DPF SYSTEM.
I'm planing to trade it for another Sprinter,but if the things doesn't work as I planed ,I will have to
