Common 2007 Dodge Sprinter 3500 problems
Based on the complaints from owners of the 2007 Dodge Sprinter 3500, several common problems have been identified:
- Limp Mode/Vehicle Losing Power: Owners have reported issues with the vehicle entering "Limp Mode," which is a safety feature that reduces engine power to prevent damage. This can be triggered by pushing the engine to its limits and is indicated by the Check Engine Light flashing on the dashboard. Possible causes include issues with the EGR, faulty oxygen sensor, swirl flap motor, intercooler hoses leaking, or a faulty actuator.
- DEF Heater Failure: Another common problem is the failure of the Diesel Emission Fluid (DEF) heater. The heater is responsible for preventing the DEF from freezing, and its failure can lead to the engine warning light turning on. This issue is more noticeable in colder months and can affect Sprinters from 2010 onwards. Replacing the DEF heater can cost around $1,500.
- Turbo Resonator "Oil Leak" Air Leak: Owners have reported problems with the Turbo Resonator, which is known for problematic seals and O-Rings. This issue is often misinterpreted as a turbo oil leak but is actually an air leak from the turbo output. Addressing this problem may involve replacing seals and O-Rings to resolve the air leak.
These common problems with the 2007 Dodge Sprinter 3500 can impact the vehicle's performance and reliability, highlighting the importance of regular maintenance and prompt attention to any warning signs or symptoms experienced by owners.

- Summary: FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THE TUBE CONNECTED TO THE EGR VALVE SPLIT APART. THE TUBE IS LOCATED DIRECTLY UNDER THE CAB AIR INTAKE, SO EXHAUST GASSES ARE PUMPED INTO THE CAB. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT THE TUBE BROKE COMPLETELY APART AND THE PRESENCE OF EXHAUST WAS OBVIOUS.

ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN, THE TUBE RUPTURED BECAUSE THE EGR VALVE STUCK CLOSED, CAUSING PRESSURE TO BUILD UP IN THE TUBE.
