Component of concern: Electronic \"Wiper\" stalk shifter is easily shifted into NEUTRAL during normal start sequence.  Problem encountered several times in our 2021 Mercedes Sprinter- the stalk shifter is located directly in front of the \"START/STOP\" ignition button. To start the vehicle, you must: 1) Press and hold the brake 2) Reach under the shifter and press the \"START/STOP\" button The problem is pressing the brake is also the \"safety interlock\" for shifting out of PARK.  The breakout force on the shifter stalk is VERY LOW, causing it to be inadvertently shifted into NEUTRAL during a normal start sequence. This is a safety concern, because often we will start the vehicle, and then exit the drivers seat to load passengers (small children and/or wheelchair users).  The vehicle does not give any indication (no physical movement of the shifter) of shifting out of park- other than white letter on mid-dash indicator going from \"P\" to \"N\". The vehicle could easily be shifted into NEUTRAL and run over passengers during the loading operations.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2021","productMake":"MERCEDES-BENZ","productModel":"SPRINTER 2500","manufacturer":"Daimler Vans USA, LLC"}]}]}
