2 bad the vents leak water and disappeared and u stuck like chuck fro. Water in intake manifold,with a van full tile late late 4 werk

I chose this van over the Sprinter, based on the many complaints for de German car on the sophisticated Diesel engine sensors systems. I don’t think I made a good choice. Over the almost 3 years of owning it, I got stuck once on the road with a fuel hose broken, half hour drive to a desert area. I don’t want to think about it happening there, in above 100 F temperatures, not being able to run the engine! Then I had to go back to the dealership 3 times for check engine light on: once for fuel filter, once for DEF (blue stuff) heater and last time for DPF. I had the good idea to ask how much would the last visit cost and they said at least 5k. Hopefully, it was still under warranty! And one more thing: after less than one year owning it I have noticed the whole powertrain being rusted. The dealership explained it is only “surface superficial rust because the powertrain was sitting for a while somewhere in a warehouse, not being used” (this van was a special order with a heavy duty transmission - 7500 lbs towing capacity). Hopefully, the dealership made it right and painted it at their cost. This is for now. I might be back with some updates. Hopefully not bad ones!

Its the kind of commercial vehicle I was looking for and could not ask for something more reliable . I usually take to a ford dealership twice a year for maintenance and it has produced great mechanical results for my long distance rides. Hey guys, go for it!!!! would not regret it.
