Consumer Description

I purchased my van Feb 5, 2021 with 8 miles on it. By April, it was hesitating intermittently at low speeds. It got progressively worse. MB of Athens could not diagnose it in 2 visits in May and June of 2021. By August, the Sprinter service manager at RBM of Atlanta, Charles told me on the phone that he was sure it was the EGR valve and none were available. ETA of a valve was Nov, 2021. The date then moved to Jan, 2022. It is April and there are no EGR valves in the world to be put on my van. The hesitation has progressed to higher speeds. I am going to be killed in this van, my only work van, as I never know when the hesitation will occur. It is dangerous. Mercedes knows they have a problem. I have 2 MB Customer Care complaint files and no results. This problem is a result of their faulty emissions system. I know they are fully aware and do not want to admit their issue and take liability. I bought this van on the MB reputation for quality and service as my job depends on it. I am scared to drive it, but must make a living. I need help. The public should be made aware. I know I am one on many, many with this issue and no resolve. They continue to manufacture new vans in Charleston, SC daily with EGR valves. This is wrong. Please respond. Thank you!
