2006 dodge sprinter 2500 t1 extended passenger approx. 23k miles, 2 years old, under chrysler full warranty 1. Vehicle stops running altogether while in drive, total engine cut-out, battery light comes on upon slowing at an intersection, turning a corner at slow rate of speed. You can put van in neutral and immediately re-start it and it runs fine. 2. This tends to happen in the heat of the day with the rear A/C running full blast.
Resonator failure on a 2006 dodge sprinter (winnebago view). When the resonator breaks, it poses a significant danger of an accident occurring due to the sudden and complete loss of engine power. This sudden rapid deceleration without any warning sign of any kind causes a serious and unacceptable safety hazard not only to us but also to any other person on the road. It has broken down on may 17, 2007, may 27, 2009 and august 17, 2010. Repair was made by replacing the resonator.
