2014 Ram ProMaster Electrical System Problems

Stalls when braking and when backing. Fuel pump continues to run with engine off.

MY PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR IS BEING FOLDED IN BY THE WIND AT 60 MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THIS IS A CARGO VAN AND THERE ARE NO WINDOWS TO SEE IF ANYONE IS BESIDE ME. I CANNOT CHANGE LANES SAFELY WITHOUT THAT MIRROR WORKING PROPERLY. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS WITH THE MOTOR THAT FOLDS THE WINDOW IN MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE OWNED THREE SEPARATE RAM PROMASTERS AND THIS IS THE THIRD VEHICLE THIS HAS HAPPENED. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED ASAP.

ISSUES WITH OUR 2014 PROMASTER STARTED IN 2016. INSERTED KEY TO START IT AND IT WOULDN'T START. KEY WAS LOCKED IN IGNITION. TOWED TO DODGE SERVICE CENTER AND THEY HAD IT 3WKS. THEY REPLACED MANY PARTS INCLUDING PCM BOARD, SHIFTER ASSEMBLY, AND MANY OTHERS. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED IN 2017 AND TWICE IN 2018. DIFFERENT SERVICE MEASURES WERE TAKEN. TODAY I WAS GETTING GAS AT SPEEDWAY, JUMPED BACK INTO VEHICLE AND THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS DEAD! HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. SINCE THE DODGE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIX IT THE OTHER 4 TIMES, I HAD IT TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT. I'M HOPING THEY CAN RESOLVE THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. WE'RE A NON-PROFIT AND CAN ILL-AFFORD TO RUN OUT AND GET ANOTHER TRUCK. I SEE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS CONCERNING 2014 ELECTRICAL ISSUES. WHY HASN'T THIS VEHICLE BEEN RECALLED? BY THE WAY, WE HAVE LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK SINCE IT'S USED SPARINGLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM PROMASTER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF ANY INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING ELECTRICAL FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GREENWAY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (9051 E COLONIAL DR, ORLANDO, FL 32817, (407) 347-4929) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

VEHICLE STATIONERY -WATER LEAKS INTO THE DOME LIGHTS, THEN THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING. THEN THE MILEAGE BEGAN FLASHING ON THE DASH BOARD, NEXT DAY HEATER MODULE STOPPED WORKING. TOOK TO THE DEALER WHO TELLS ME THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS YET HAVE CHATTED ONLINE WITH OTHER OWNER WHO HAVE ALL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

I WAS PARKED IN A LOT WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (SOLID, NOT FLASHING SO I ASSUMED IT WAS OK TO DRIVE). AFTER I STARTED MOVING A BIT, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE RED-LINED. I PARKED AND LET IT COOL OFF. WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN, THE CEL WAS ON BUT THE TEMP WAS NORMAL AND STAYED NORMAL UNTIL I REVERSED INTO MY DRIVEWAY...AT WHICH POINT THE GAUGE REDLINED AGAIN AND THE PRESSURE RELEASE ON THE COOLANT TANK TRIPPED AND COOLANT STARTED SHOOTING EVERYWHERE. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS A FAN CONTROL MODULE THAT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. OF COURSE THE MODULE IS ON INDEFINITE BACKORDER FROM THEIR WAREHOUSE. THEY SAID THEY CAN GET ONE FROM O'REILLY BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE MYSELF WHICH WAS ABOUT $200. AFTER READING REPORTS ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE ON RAM PROMASTERS WITH NO RESOLUTION OR RECALL. REPORTS INDICATE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WAITING ON THIS PART.

PROMASTER 3500 CUT AWAY WINNEBAGO TREND RV CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATION CAUSES MULTI WARNING LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. WARNINGS FOR THROTTLE CONTROL, BATTERY/CHARGE SYSTEM, DEF LEVEL ? (NOT DIESEL GASOLINE UNIT), TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATIC AND NOT ENGUAGE INTO 6TH / OD GEARS. FACTORY SUPPORT UNABLE TO RESOLVE JUST SWAPPING PARTS REQUIRES VEHICLE TO SIT AT DEALER FOR 30DAYS JUST TO ORDER REPLACEMENT CLUSTER. SLOW AND UN-COORDINATED SUPPORT FROM CHRYSLER, THIS IS THE 3RD TIME REPAIRS HAVE HAD TO BE ESCALATED TO PROMASTER HOTLINE

EVER SINCE WE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE ROUGHLY A YEAR AGO, IT WAS SENT BACK FOR SERVICE 8 TIMES WITH NO SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT. THERE ARE POTENTIALLY FATAL ISSUES INCLUDING: THE AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON, TURN SIGNALS FUNCTION ON AND OFF PERIODICALLY, THE PLATE LIGHTS DON'T WORK EVEN UPON BULB REPLACEMENT, ELECTRICAL FAILURE WHICH LED TO A BULB MELTING (SEE PHOTO ATTACHED) . THESE ISSUES POSE SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY FATAL RISKS TO OUR DRIVERS AND TO THE PUBLIC. THE DEALERS HAVE FAILED TO PERMANENTLY RECTIFY THESE ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM PROMASTER CARGO VAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V294000(ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) WAS RECEIVED IN AUGUST OF 2014. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE GIVEN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I PURCHASED THE PROMASTER ON 7/17, ON 7/20 THE "REAR DOOR OPEN" MESSAGE SHOWED UP ON THE DASH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND LEFT IT THERE. AS OF TODAY 7/29 IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT SAFFORD DODGE IN WARRENTON, VA, THE "BCM", BASIC CONTROL MODULE IS THE PROBLEM. DODGE HAS SENT TWO REGIONAL TECHNICIANS TO TRY TO SOLVE THE ISSUE WHICH IS SOFTWARE RELATED. AFTER THE "REAR DOOR OPEN" MESSAGE WAS FIXED AN "ABS" MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASH. THAT WAS RESOLVED (SO THEY SAY) AND NOW THE BCM DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE MIDDLE SEAT OF THE DUAL PASSENGER SEAT CONFIGURATION. THEY HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO REPROGRAM THE BCM BUT IT IS NOT WORKING. *JS

AS SOON AS I TURNED ON THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH EVERY WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH - ABS, SEATBELTS, BATTERY, EPC, AND OTHERS ALL LIT UP AS WELL AS THE CRUISE CONTROL ON LIGHT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO A DEALER IN GRAND RAPIDS, MI K&M NORTHFIELD DODGE AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN A PART. HOW WILL I KNOW IF THE AIRBAG, SEATBELT AND ABS SYSTEM IS WORKING PROPERLY OR IF IT IS A FALSE ALARM? CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS PROMISED ME ANSWERS - AND A PART BUT AS OF THIS WRITING I HAVE NEITHER. I HESITATE TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR THESE ITEMS MAY NOT BE WORKING AND THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE TRUE. *JS
