This is a mercedes sprinter with a freightliner name plate. On several occasions the van will not start. This is not a uncommon problem for this sprinter . It is the topic of many internet chat boards. I have taken it to a sprinter dealer and they can't find the problem but it continues to intermittently not start. I believe mercedes knows about the problem but refuses to acknowledge it.
