As in this case of the SKREEM (and the many more 'different' issues with this model car), there are anecdotal suspicions and associations as to why and how this car's SKREEM fails (and many cases of some who were told it is the SKREEM but later find out it isn't). One point that makes plenty of sense is that since MB is still fixing THEIR branded vehicles, I suspect that number may be higher than reported though. IMHO the only way to correlate how many MB vehicles are affected, is to go in to a MB forum (or more than one MB forum, as I think there is more than one), and search for any SKREEM issues there. BTW, thanks for the refresh on the other vehicle "Sprinter", to just before this read I still hadn't remembered it.
