The SRS malfunction light was on the dashboard. When I went to the dealership I was told that the wires were damaged under the seats. So I had the dealership do the repair. Then I was told that they had a known problem with the wires actually there was a recall stating the same issue. But since it wasn’t showing up by the vin. Number they refused to do the repairs by a recall so I had to pay for the repairs. I’m confused why the problem is actually what is in the recall why wouldn’t it be fixed regardless if the vin number didn’t show up as being faulty. When it’s the same issue. That they found.

The vehicle was involved in a collision on January 26, 2023. I am not claiming that the computer malfunction caused that collision. After the collision, while I continued operating the vehicle, problems developed with the vehicle’s computer, electronic control system, and instrument cluster. The instrument display could become dark or unavailable, and a CHECK ENGINE warning was present. This prevented reliable access to important information such as vehicle speed, warnings, and operating status. I brought the vehicle to a repair facility expecting a complete inspection and repair. An insurance inspector was expected to inspect and document the vehicle before repairs, but the inspector did not arrive after I waited for the entire day. I was told that the inspector would not be available the following days and would come only when available. Relying on the instructions I received, I left the vehicle at the repair facility. I authorized a complete repair, not an incomplete or partial repair. Nevertheless, the vehicle was only partially repaired, and the computer and instrument-cluster condition remained unresolved. A Mercedes-Benz dealer later documented a CHECK ENGINE condition and that the instrument cluster was showing dark, identified an instrument-cluster malfunction, and recommended further repair or replacement. I objected to taking back and operating a vehicle with an unresolved computer and instrument-display malfunction. I was concerned that losing access to speed, warning messages, or other critical information while driving could endanger me, my passengers, and other road users. I requested that the safety-related problem be fully diagnosed and repaired, but the vehicle was presented for return with the condition unresolved. The vehicle and its repair and diagnostic records should be obtained and examined to determine the cause of the electronic and instrument-cluster malfunction. The computer malfunction began approximately February 9-10, 2023.

Front crash with no airbag deployment and no emergency braking. Currently at The Metal Shop in Warm Springs Va. Told by insurance it is totaled. Sustained mild concussion from head trauma. Head hit steering wheel. I notice many Sprinters for sale for parts after similar front end collisions. No warning lights.
Frequently, when I started the car, the instrument cluster's monochrome display will stay blank/black or display completely corrupted garbage - unreadable bit and pieces. I wasn't able to read essential info like level of drive gear and fuel level etc. Often when this happens, the physical speedometer pointers won't settle on accurate current speed level, but keep cycling: from 0 spin to some value and then reset back to 0 and spin to some value ... This makes driving risky as I am not able to see accurate driving speed!

Almost immediately after I got my Van the Aux Balmar Alternator installed by THOR had to be replaced and was not functional. I tried to get it repaired by two warranty repair centers in Colorado and neither one could repair the Alternator or get it to charge the lithium battery that was also new. Thor told me that they would have specialist look at it when I brought it into Blue Compass of Wheatridge and they told me they had fixed the issue but it still will not charge battery even after 17 hours of driving.
