Default Steering wheel shake on deceleration - 2016 Sprinter Pleasure Way Ascent

12 months ago we had the rear end and driveshaft replaced under warranty by Mercedes for unrelated (I think) issues.

Both before and after the warranty work our vehicle has a steering wheel shake when initially decelerating. More noticeable when cresting a hill in cruise control and then descending. If you disconnect the cruise, the shake goes away.

Could this be a transmission issue or something else. Any ideas would be really appreciated!

Odometer reading is 65,000 KMS.

Thank you,

Ian

That's a strange symptom indeed. Congrats on linking it to use of cruse control. I don't know why that would affect it, but it should at least tell a Mercedes mechanic something.

I'd think its just the cruise control accelerating up/over the hill and then you hitting the brakes at the same time. If you 2-foot brake, accelerating and braking at the same time, I bet you get the vibration.

It's been a couple months/year, what was the issue?
