I know just 3 sprinter owners, none of them are happy with them.  One guy (
deisel) says he's just given up going back and back to the dealership with
his, and now just drives it in it's "limp home" mode all the time, because
every dealership visit cost him a lot, and the thing would only run
properly for a couple of weeks...One gal gave hers away, she said "to an
enemy.".
 They must have something, though, because they're all over the Columbia
River gorge area..
