Consumer Replied: Dear Mr Horne,
I am writing to follow up on my previous email after I posted this complaint, regarding the significant rust issues discovered on the roof of the 2021 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 up fitted RV, I purchased from Mercedes Benz of S.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this issue.
Sincerely,
