2015 RAM PROMASTER Recalls, Complaints & Safety

While driving on the freeway my engine started slowing down and a message came on the dash saying "Transmission Service". I was fortunate enough to make it to the right shoulder from the first lane and the engine stopped. The readout on the dash said I was in neutral but I was in park. The car wouldn't start. After cooling down I could start and drive but the same issue would happen intermittently. I took it to AAMCO and they told me that there was a recall for the range sensor and wiring harness (S55/NHTSA 16V-529). When I got to the dealer he said that recall didn't pertain to my vehicle and I would have to pay for the service. Since the issue does cover vehicles of my make, model and year I want to know why isn't it covered? It's the same issue as the ones covered. I'm lucky that I wasn't involved in an accident because of this.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram Promaster 2500. The contact stated that, while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated, indicating a torque converter failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the torque converter was replaced. The failure recurred and was repaired an additional two times. During the final repair, the mechanic determined that fluid was leaking from the radiator into the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 108,000.

The contact's boyfriend owns a 2015 Ram Promaster 2500. The contact stated that while her boyfriend was driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The driver continued driving, and the vehicle entered LIMP Mode and failed to accelerate above 5 MPH. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was serviced under an unknown recall; however, soon after the vehicle was repaired, the failure returned. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and serviced a second time under the same recall. Recently, the contact stated the failure returned, and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The vehicle remained with the dealer for several months before the contact was informed that the vehicle could not be serviced. The contact was advised to retrieve the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was provided with the same information as the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

Driving 55mph on highway when, the vehicle began to shudder abnormally, resulting in pulling over to the shoulder of the interstate. Took vehicle to mechanic and learned oil coolant housing was leaking. This is a known design flaw by the manufacturer which can lead to engine damage and/or sudden stops of performance while driving.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram Promaster 3500. The contact stated that while driving 70-75 MPH, the DEF warning light was illuminated. The contact added DEF fluid to the tank and continued driving; however, a message indicating that the vehicle was in countdown mode or LIMP mode was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed; however, the dealer had informed the contact that the cause of the failure could not be determined after performing several tests. The vehicle remained stuck in LIMP mode and had remained at the dealer unrepaired for two months. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact requested an engineer's assistance in diagnosing the vehicle. A case was filed, but no assistance was provided. The contact stated that the vehicle was essential to get to several doctors' appointments after he had undergone surgeries. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram ProMaster 2500. The contact stated that the same day that the vehicle was purchased, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that after shifting to park(P) and the parking brake was engaged, the vehicle rolled backwards. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle with an unknown sensor failure. The sensor and the brakes were repaired. The contact retrieved the vehicle, and the check engine warning light was illuminated. When the gear lever was shifted to park(P) and the parking brake was engaged, the vehicle rolled backwards. The dealer was contacted, and the dealer at first refused to take the vehicle. After several months, the dealer took the vehicle, and it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel injectors, brakes, fuel tank, and an unknown sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was parked at the residence and had not been driven since. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

We purchased the van in April 2024, and the mileage was 130268. We checked the oil regularly and noticed the level dropping. After driving it 3080 miles and checked the oil level after letting the vehicle sit over night. The oil level was down almost 2 quarts. I contacted the dealer and told them what happened and they mentioned that there was a recall for some Promaster City vans. I looked up the information and found the recall marked as W80. I contacted Chrysler and they said our vehicle isnt listed and to contact the NHTSA. It has the same problems and is losing the oil in the same amounts as specified in the recall but for some reason, our VIN isnt listed in the recall.

Both side mirrors fold in at highway speeds which means you have to roll down the window and hold the mirror open to turn

The van was parked for approximately 5 hours and burst into flames with no one in it the key removed and the van locked. The fire department was called and took a couple hours to put the fire out. The van is a complete loss.

Fire

exited a freeway, and when taking off at the stop vehicle lunged forward into the intersection and went out of gear. after repeated attempts to accelerate, drove about 200 feet and dropped out of gear again. Had vehicle towed to Dealer who said needed a new transmission and a left engine and transmission mount because the mounts are breaking causing the engine and transmission to drop nearly to the pavement. An article posted June 2019 by certtrans details the failure (search online for: mopar fix for ram promaster transmission bracket breakage). There are many possible catastrophic safety issue from this failure. Why have these vehicles not been recalled for these defective mounts? The upgraded mount was an additional $847. The price alone may scare some people off from replacing with upgraded mount. At highway speeds when the engine and transmission fall down the angle of the drive axles alone could cause breakage and loss of power. Plus there are a many other possibilities for this to cause a crash.

Several incidents when accelerating, the engine goes into a limp mode, followed by indicator lights coming on P0401, P0299, P226C. The vehicle will not accelerate and travels at a max speed of about 5mph. This has happened in traffic every time and has put me and my family, as well as other vehicles, at extreme risk of being in an accident, not being able to accelerate out of the way of oncoming traffic. After several cycles of turning the vehicle off and on, it returns to normal function. The vehicle has been inspected at a Dodge Service station. They determined that the Turbo diesel system is malfunctioning and needs repair. My vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

CONTACTED DEALER BRANDON DODGE ON BROADWAY AND WAS INFORMED THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART AND WERE UNABLE TO GET THE PART AND TO CONTACT THEM AT A LATER DATE. ----- NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: OPENS NEW WINDOW TAKES AWAY FROM VIN LOOKUP SECTION>19V-818RECALL DATE: NOVEMBER 15, 2019 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: VB2 SUMMARY: A COOLING FAN STALL / SEIZURE EVENT COULD LEAD TO ELECTRICAL OVERLOADING OF THE FAN MOTOR POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN THE THERMAL DEGRADATION OF THE BRUSH HOUSING, WHICH MAY LEAD TO A VEHICLE FIRE. SAFETY RISK: A VEHICLE FIRE MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO OCCUPANTS AND PERSONS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE. REMEDY: REPLACE THE ENGINE COOLING FAN MODULE.

I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A RAM DEALER SERVICE CENTER BECAUSE THE 'FILL DEF' LIGHT AND MESSAGE REMAINED IN THE EVIC EVEN THOUGH THE DEF WAS FULL. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE WAS THE EGR COOLER, TUBE AND GASKETS NEED REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS QUOTED AT $2918.27 (SEE ATTACHMENT). UPON RESEARCHING MOPAR SAFETY RECALLS, I CAME ACROSS RECALL VB1, WHICH PERTAINS TO EGR COOLERS OF RAM 1500S WITH ECODIESEL ENGINES NEEDING REPLACED. I CALLED MOPAR, AND THEY SAID VB1 DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VIN, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME ENGINE. I AM WONDERING IF VB1 IS THE SAME ISSUE I AM HAVING WITH MY PROMASTER 1500 WITH AN ECODIESEL ENGINE, AND IF ANY OTHER PROMASTER OWNERS WITH THE ECODIESEL HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE COST OF THIS REPAIR IS TOO HIGH TO JUSTIFY PAYING FOR IT, AND IN ALL HONESTY, IS TOO HIGH TO JUSTIFY HAVING BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN THE FIRST PLACE, ESPECIALLY IF OTHER ECODIESEL VEHICLES ARE HAVING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE.

VAN IS HAVING ELECTRIC ISSUES CAUSING ALL LIGHT TO FLASH ON DASH. AND VAN SLOWS DOWN AND WILL ONLY RUN AT 15 MILES AN HOUR .VERY DANGEROUS. ALL SO WILL NOT START SOMETIMES. HAVE HAD IT IN SHOP UNDER WARRANTY FOR 7 MONTHS OF THE YEAR THIS YEAR. AND ITS GOING BACK IN AGAIN FOR SAME THING. THEY OUR ON THEIR 5TH TIME TRYING TO FIX THIS YEAR. THEY ACTUALLY SAID ONE TIME WAS BECAUSE IT RAINED ON THE VAN. WE HAVE THEM SAYING IT ON TAPE ALONG WITH RECORDINGS OF LIGHTS ,SPEEDS ,AND NOT STARTING

COOLING FAN CYCLES CONSTANTLY, KNOWN PROBLEM WITH PRO MASTER RECALL VB2 BUT MY VIN # DOSE NOT QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL.

THE CAR WAS STOPPED IN THE LIGHT, THE RADIATOR FAN CAME ON, IT MADE A SOUND AND THEN THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL. THE CAR OVERHEATED AND I STOPPED IT TO COOL DOWN. THE RADIATOR FAN STOPPED AND THE CAR OVERHEATED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REVIEW AND WAS TOLD TO CHANGE THE FAN AND FUSES. CHECKING THE RECALLS I FOUND THE NHTSA 19V-818, WHICH MATCHES THE SPECIFICATIONS OF MY CAR AND THE PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE COOLING FAN. I AWAIT YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM WITH THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING THIS VAN THE ENGINE FAN STARTED MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE. WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS A BAD FAN AND NOTED THAT THERE WAS A NEW RECALL FOR THIS FAILURE. WE TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALER AND WERE TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. WE HAD THEM FIX IT AND CONTACTED CHRYSLER WARRANTY FOR HELP. THEY DENIED THE CLAIM. WE HAVE 2 OF THESE IDENTICAL VEHICLES AND RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE OTHER VEHICLE, VIN# [XXX]. THEY TOLD US THAT THE VEHICLES WERE MAD AT DIFFERENT PLANTS SO IT WAS NOT COVERED. HOW CAN ONE BE COVERED AND THE OTHER NOT WHEN THE PARTS ARE IDENTICAL. IT MAKES NO SENSE. THIS OBVIOUSLY COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY BAD SITUATION IF NOT CAUGHT IN TIME. WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU COULD GIVE ON THE PROBLEM. I HAVE UPLOADED DOCUMENTATION FOR YOUR REVIEW.

WHILE ON VACATION IN NM AND CO, AN ENGINE COOLING FAN ON SAFETY RECALL (OUR EXACT MODEL, MAKE, AND YEAR AND ACCESSORIES) WAS BLOWING FUSES/MALFUNCTIONING - THE RESULT POSSIBLE IS THE SAME THING THAT INITIATED THE RECALL - POSSIBILITY OF FIRE. BLOWN FUSE ALSO CAN RESULT IN LIMP MODE BEING EXECUTED IN A DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION, (SLICK ROADS, STEEP MOUNTAINS, CURVES NOT TO MENTION $1000'S OF DOLLARS OF UNNECESSARY REPAIRS BECAUSE IT ALSO FALSELY AFFECTED THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND ON HIGHWAY AND SMALLER ROADS - IT HAPPENED OUT OF BLUE EACH TIME THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT SHOWS SAME COOLING FAN RECALLED - DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE SAYING OUR VIN NOT ON THE LIST BUT OBVIOUSLY IT IS HAVING PROBLEMS AND REPLACING IT IS WHAT FIXED THE VEHICLE THANKS

SHOWING THE FOLLOWING ERROR WHEN STARTING THE CAR - ESC SYSTEM SERVICE, HILL HOLDER. ALSO, THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL IS SHOWING THE FOLLOWING ERROR CODE: BCM - BODY CONTROLLER WITH U001901 ACTIVE, CAN B - GENERAL ELECTRIC FAILURE. TH ESC SYSTEM SERVICE AND HILL HOLDER ISSUES ARE THE SAME ISSUE WHICH WAS REPORTED IN THE RECALL FOR 2016 RAM PROMASTER ECODIESEL.

MY EXACT VEHICLE RAM PROMASTER I4 3L TURBO DIESEL WITH FACTORY AIR IS ON A SAFETY RECALL FOR BAD COOLANT FAN, BUT CHRYSLER IS SAYING THAT MY VIN DOES NOT QUALIFY. THE CHRYSLER DEALER TELLS ME I NEED TO REPLACE MY COOLING FAN BECAUSE IT IS SHORTING AND BLOWING THE FUSE AND POSSIBLY AFFECTING THE RELAY ALSO. THIS FAN CODE IS ALSO PUTTING THE VAN IN LIMP MODE AND NOT ALLOWING THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER TO BE REGENERATED. HERE IS THE LINK FOR RECALL THAT I FOUND HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/RCL/2019/RCMN-19V818-7563.PDF PLEASE HELP OR AT LEAST LET ME KNOW WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE - IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS THIS FAN HAS ISSUES AND 2015 WAS ONE OF THE 1ST. - THE WHOLE ENGINE AND EMISSIONS IS TIED TOGETHER BY THE COMPUTER AND SENSORS SO 1 THING AFFECTS MANY THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE OVERHEAT, COOLING FAN SEIZURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM PROMASTER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT WERE GOING INTO LIMP MODE AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATED TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS PUSHED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS POWERED OFF AND RESTARTED, BUT COULD NOT DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MOUNT AIRY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT (538 N ANDY GRIFFITH PKWY, MT AIRY, NC 27030, (336) 789-8105) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A STORED CODE AND WAS OK TO DRIVE.

DRIVER SIDE ELECTRIC MIRROR NOT RETURNING TO ORIGINAL SPOT ANYTIME REQUESTED, GOING TO EXTREME POSITION. SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED TO PASSENGER MIRROR MAY 2017

WE OWN A 2015 RAM PROMASTERS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. TECH EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. ON THE DASH APPEARED A YELLOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A RED SYMBOL ( ! ). A MESSAGE READ "SERVICE REQUIRED - TRANSMISSION SERVICE". AS THE TECH ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE FREEWAY, AFRAID THAT THE VAN MIGHT STALL WITH INCOMING TRAFFIC. HE MADE A SAFE EXIT OFF THE FREEWAY. PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF IGNITION AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR IN HOPES THAT THE TROUBLE WOULD CLEAR. THE RED SYMBOL ( ! ) DISAPPEARED AND POWER WAS RESTORED. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BACK TO COMPANY

AIRBAG PROBLEM

RECENTLY THIS VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE AND AFTER THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS APPLIED THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL. THIS MODEL VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A PARK POSITION FOR THE TRANSMISSION LEVER. NOT SURE WHY THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A PARK POSITION BECAUSE WHEN THIS EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED THERE IS NOTHING TO HOLD THE VEHICLE IN PLACE.

IN 2017 I PURCHASED A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE WITH A DODGE CHASSIS WITH THE ATTACHED VIN. IT CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 4500 MILES ON IT. FROM THE VERY BEGINNING I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTING WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55 TO 65 MPH) WHICH PEGS THE TACH (7000 PLUS). THIS WOULD OCCUR WHEN TRAVELING UP SLIGHT GRADES WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL AND WOULD HAPPEN AT RANDOM INTERVALS (ROUGHLY 200 MILES) WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DODGE DEALER AND DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM WITH THEM. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BUT SAID IT WAS AN "ADAPTIVE" TRANS WHICH HAD TO ADJUST TO MY DRIVING AND DIDN'T OFFER ANY SOLUTIONS. AT THE THIRD VISIT TO THE DEALER THEY RELOADED NEW SOFTWARE FOR THE TRANS, BUT STILL OFFERED THE "ADAPTIVE" ARGUMENT, AND STILL WOULDN'T GUARANTEE A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. WHEN IT DOWN SHIFTS THERE IS SO MUCH ENGINE BRAKING AND RAPID DECELERATION THAT I FEAR A REAR END COLLISION. ADDITIONALLY, DRIVING ON SLIPPERY ROADS (GRAVEL, FROST, SNOW, RAIN) COULD EASILY RESULT IN A SKID AND POSSIBLY COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL.

THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE PARKING BRAKE WHICH CAUSES IT TO FREEZE AND LOCK UP IN COLD TEMPERATURES. THIS VEHICLE HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH NO PARKING GEAR SO THE PARKING BRAKE IS REQUIRED TO PARK THE VEHICLE SO THAT IT DOES NOT ROLL. WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT WATER GETS INTO THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE AND FREEZES IN SUBZERO TEMPERATURES CAUSING THE PARKING BRAKE TO NOT ENGAGE, NOT RELEASE, OR ONLY RELEASE PARTIALLY SO THAT IT DRAGS. FROM THE DRIVERS PERSPECTIVE IT APPEARS NORMAL OTHER THAN HAVING LESS OR NO TENSION WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE LEVER IS APPLIED.OR RELEASED. WHEN THE CABLE IS FROZEN WHILE THE BRAKE IS DISENGAGED, THE BRAKE DOES NOT ENGAGE, SO THERE IS NO WAY TO PROPERLY PARK THE VEHICLE. WHEN FROZEN WHILE ENGAGED, THE BRAKE REMAINS ON OR ONLY PARTIALLY RELEASES WHICH CAUSES IT TO BE UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OR THE BRAKE WILL DRAG AND OVERHEAT WHILE DRIVING. WE HAVE TWO OF THESE VEHICLES PURCHASED AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME FROM . ONE IN MINNESOTA AND THE OTHER IN TEXAS. BOTH HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM SO IT CLEARLY NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. ONE COST US OVER $2000 TO FIX BECAUSE THE ENTIRE BRAKE ASSEMBLY BECAME OVERHEATED AND DESTROYED ALMOST ALL OF THE WHEEL COMPONENTS. I'VE ATTACHED THE INVOICE FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! I HAVE NOT BROUGHT THIS UP EARLIER BECAUSE I WAS CERTAIN THAT IT WOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS BY NOW. WE USE THESE FOR DELIVERIES AND NOW OUR MANAGER IN MINNESOTA WILL NOT OPERATE THE VAN IN THE WINTER FOR SAFETY REASONS. TODAY THE DRIVER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE AT DELIVERY STOPS SO HAS TO FIND A PLACE TO PARK ON A HILL WITH THE WHEELS TOWARD THE CURB. THIS IS NOT A SAFE WAY TO PARK THE VEHICLE. THESE VEHICLES REALLY NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

THE ROCKER ARMS WERE BAD WHICH CAUSED THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST CAMSHAFT TO WEAR OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. AND HAD TO REPLACE THE ROCKER ARMS ON ALL CYLINDERS.

WATER ENTERS THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE COWLING BELOW THE WINDSHIELD IS A 2-PIECE UNIT WITH A "JOINT" IN THE MIDDLE, WHERE WATER ENTERS AND FORMS ON TOP OF THE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP. THERE IS ALSO A LEAK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND FLOWS ON TOP OF THE FUSE BOX AND ELECTRICS. THERE IS ALSO A LEAK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE WATER ENTERS FROM THE HOOD VENT AND GOES ONTO THE AIR INTAKE AND THEN CAN GO INTO THE ENGINE. MANY OWNERS HAVE CONTACTED THEIR DEALERS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TRYING SINCE 2015. SEVERAL OWNERS HAVE HAD THEIR ALTERNATORS QUIT BECAUSE OF WATER AND THE ENGINE HAS DIED WHILE DRIVING. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION GO TO WWW.PROMASTERFORUM.COM UNDER GENERAL DISCUSSION AND DO A SEARCH FOR WATER IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. GOOGLE ALSO PROVIDES INFORMATION. THIS IS HAPPENING IN EUROPE A WELL AND THEY HAVE SOLVED IT WITH A DRIP PAN, AND/OR OTHER MEANS OF SEALING THE AREA. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE LEAKING WHEN IT RAINS, BUT CAN'T UPLOAD IT.

HE SAID THERE SHOULD BE RECALL ON THESE TRUCKS CAUSE IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM WITH EVERY HE HAS SERVICE. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT SINCE I GOT BRAND NEW. AND RAM DON'T WANT TO STAND BY THERE VEHICLES. THEY JUST SAY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG I WOULD OF BEEN BETTER IF BUYING A SECOND HAND TRUCK I WOULD OF LESS MONEY INTO IT. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. ALSO COOLANT FAN WENT AND HAD TO WAIT 2 WEEKS TO GET PART BECAUSE IT WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND THERE WAS 1200 PEOPLE WAITING FOR SAME PART. I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TO BUY THIS NEW TRUCK SO I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. GUESS I WAS WRONG.RAM JUST DON'T CARE THEY GOT THERE MONEY . IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT THEM GETTING AWAY WITH THIS. DO NOT BUY RAM)

Crash

I BOUGHT THE RAM PRO MASTER 2015 BRAND NEW AND HAD TO REPLACE THE PARKING BTAKE OUT 4 TIMES AND REPLACED PARKING BRAKE CABLES 3 TIMES. PARKING BRAKE CABLES GET WATER INTO THE CABLES AND FREEZES IN THE WINTER. THE PARKING BREAK YOU SHOULDN'T NEVER HAVE TO REPLACE IT. THE FUNCTION OF THE PARKING BRAKE IS THE HOLD THE TRUCK IN PLACE IT'S NEVER WILD WHILE THE TRUCK IS MOVING NOT AWARE ARE WEARABLE ITEMS.THE PARKING BREAK HIS FALL APART THREE TIMES WHILE I WAS MOVING IN SLOW TRAFFIC ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR.

PARKING BRAKE NOT WORKING DURING WINTER TIME. WHEN PARKING, PARKING BRAKE WAS USED AND IT WORK. WHEN DRIVEING THE VEHICLE THE PARKING BRAKE WAS RELEASE BUT THE BRAKE IS LOCK UP. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE. TOOK TO THE SHOP AND THE SHOE WAS ALL USE UP. I CHANGED THE SHOE AT THE SHOP AND STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM. PARKING BRAKE DO NOT WORK IN COLD WEATHER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM PROMASTER. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HENDERSONVILLE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (401 DUNCAN HILL RD, HENDERSONVILLE, NC), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

MY TPMS SYSTEM HAS NEVER WORKED RELIABLY SINCE NEW. IT IS ON NOW AND HAS BEEN ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR 40,000 MILES. TYPICALLY IT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR A WEEK TO A MONTH AND CHECKING OR ADJUSTING TIRE PRESSURE SEEMS TO HAVE NO EFFECT ON WHETHER IT IS ON OR SUDDENLY OFF FOR A MONTH OR TWO. I AM CONCERNED I MIGHT REALLY HAVE A FAILING TIRE OR LOW PRESSURE AND BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS ON I CANNOT KNOW. I UNDERSTAND THE NHTSA REQUIRES THIS SYSTEM. IS IT SAFE TO BE SO UNRELIABLE? IT IS ON NOW ON SINCE OCT 14TH BUT THE TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED AS HAS BEEN TRUE IN THE PAST.
