This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality.

Pertaining to the open recall: Manufacturer Recall Number59C NHTSA Recall Number25V-552 We had called last year when the back camera started acting up; was told there was a pending recall to release by the end of the year (Dec 2025). Called back January 2026 to see about a fix on the recall, was notified they have the recall, but there wasn't a part for the fix yet and to call back later. Called back March 2026 because the issue seems to be getting worse and the rear camera sometimes just doesn't turn on at all; and was told there was still no part yet. So was going to wait another two months before calling again. But today (April 2026) one of our drivers accidently backed into a truck, luckily all of our drivers have been hyper cautious so they weren't going very fast so there were no damages to the other vehicle. Not having a fix for the rear view camera system still, has made our drivers feel uneasy when they have to take this van out. It's definitely a huge safety issue, especially since there is no visibility to look out the rear windows. A fix for this would be greatly appreciated.
Rearview camera only works 10% of the time; recall was issues in Aug '25, but there is still not a remedy. Seems pretty easy to just install a new camera, not sure why this is taking so long. The vehicle has horrible sight lines, backing up is near impossible on your own. Recall Info: Aug 26,2025 Manufacturer Recall Number59C NHTSA Recall Number25V-552
The contact owns a 2020 Ram ProMaster 2500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked and turned off, the engine cooling fan continued running. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the wiring harness, fuse box, and two modules had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The contact discovered that the VIN was associated with NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 25V720000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) and 25V552000 (Back Over Prevention) while searching online. However, parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the cooling fan module and fuse had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and placed the contact on a waiting list for parts to become available. The approximate failure mileage was 137,000.
This van has been at a Dodge dealership shop for the same melted fuse box issues over 6 times and caught on fire last week while driving it back from the dealership to be used.
The vehicle is subject to two active safety recalls issued by the manufacturer, including a recall related to the rear backup camera system. The manufacturer has acknowledged the safety defects, but no remedy has been released for an extended period of time. The backup camera recall affects rear visibility while reversing, which poses a safety risk to the driver, passengers, pedestrians, and nearby vehicles. The backup camera intermittently fails or does not display an image as intended. The recall has been open for several months, and no estimated repair timeline has been provided by the manufacturer or dealer. I have contacted the dealer/manufacturer and was informed that no remedy is currently available. This vehicle is used regularly, increasing concern about continued operation with unresolved safety defects. The vehicle remains in service with known safety defects and no corrective action offered. This report is being submitted due to the prolonged delay in providing a remedy for acknowledged safety recalls.

In addition, the contact stated that when the vehicle was purchased, the dealer informed the contact about the open recalls. The contact was informed that the parts would be available in December 2025. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer.

Rear view camera does not work - shows blank screen or inverted image. Very dangerous when backing up as you cannot see if anyone or another car is behind you.
The contact owns a 2020 Ram Promaster 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V301000 (POWER TRAIN). However, the dealer refused to replace the transmission.

On Sept 14 2025 we were driving our Promaster and heard a knocking sound then the vehicle immediately overheated. We had the car towed to a dealership and we were informed we needed a new engine as the fan module had failed causing the vehicle to overheat and ruining the engine. The extended warranty company also denied the claim citing that the fan module had failed. We purchased the vehicle on Sept 10th 2025. The prior owner had several repairs completed to the cooling system in the months prior to us purchasing the vehicle which included replacing the radiator, cylinder heads and gaskets as well as many other components. Per the dealership, there was a code that stated an overheating indicator showed approx 1000 miles prior to us bringing the vehicle in. The prior owner states that this indicator light never came on and it never came on for us either. When searching the recall database, our particular VIN does not appear to be included in the current recall, however the part number in question on the recall matches the part number the dealer is citing as the underlying issue which caused the engine failure and for the extended warranty to not cover the replacement. As for safety, the failure happened on a very busy highway requiring us to sit on the side of the road for several hours until we could get a tow company. The vehicle is currently at the dealer and they have plenty of documentation / photos of the damage and failed parts. No insurance company or police have been involved.

Transmission failure: Debris that caused the need for the 44A recall clogged the internal pump causing seizure. RAM service stated the need for transmission replacement, my cost.
Image on the backup camera is flipped. I checked online forums and it seems like this is a common problem without an adequate solution to make backing safe
We were driving on I -75 near mm 224 when we felt the van kind of wobble then heard a noise like we dropped something. We pulled over, all four tires were inflated, so we looked under each tire, we noticed the tread was missing. We drove slowly about 5 miles, to the nearest tire shop, which was Devito’s Auto Repair 2420 US Hwy 301 in Ellenton, FL, who switched out our tire and recommended we change out the remaining three when we get home, as these tire are known to separate tread.
I am writing to formally file a complaint for gross negligence, excessive delays, and repeated mechanical failures regarding my RAM 2020 ProMaster1500 HR; VIN: [XXX] at the authorized dealership Bomnin-Doral in Miami, FL. The vehicle remained at the dealership for 1 year, 4 months, and 18 days due to transmission damage and other mechanical issues. Five days after final delivery, the transmission failed again. Despite multiple attempts to communicate, no effective response has been received, and the vehicle remains inoperable at my residence. A steering issue also persists: when turning the wheel fully to the left or right, it does not return to its original position and must be manually assisted, posing a serious accident risk, especially in turns under 90° or U-turns. The dealership claims this is “NORMAL,” which we strongly dispute. The transmission is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, and other damaged parts by the GWC (POWERTRAIN PLUS) warranty. These problems have caused significant financial losses to my business, family, and me personally, as well as severe impacts on our health and emotional well-being. Personally, the stress and frustration led me to the Emergency Room at Jackson West Hospital, where I was diagnosed with an ischemic stroke (Right MCA Stroke) and later surgically treated at Jackson Memorial Hospital. To date, no one has contacted us or provided an effective solution, which constitutes gross negligence and a flagrant violation of my consumer rights. I request that this case be reviewed immediately, and a fair investigation be opened so that actions like this do not go unpunished. I also request full financial compensation for all damages, including emotional and moral distress, punitive damages, and a full refund of the vehicle. I have videos and other photos that I can send but it doesn't like me send it because the videos and photos are too big in storage, but I can send it via email. Sincerely and at your disposal INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
formal complaint for gross negligence, warranty breach, and repeated mechanical failures involving my RAM 2020 ProMaster 1500 HR (VIN: [XXX] ). The vehicle remained out of service for 1 year, 4 months, and 18 days due to transmission damage. Five days after the final delivery, the transmission failed again. in addition, there is a persistent problem with the steering system. The dealership insist that this is the " Normal Operation ", but this is a defect according to the owner’s manual. The transmission is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, and the supposedly replaced parts are covered by the GWC Warranty. November 14, 2025, the vehicle was transported to Miami Lakes Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM to be inspected by Mr. Christopher Byrne (Bosch EAA, [XXX] ), the technical inspector assigned by Stellantis to conduct the evaluation. After returning home with the vehicle following this inspection, new oil leaks became evident, apparently originating from the engine. It has now been one month and ten days since my initial communication with Stellantis FCA, and I have not received a single official update regarding the status of my claim. Likewise, ten business days have passed since the inspection performed by Mr. Byrne, without any delivery of the diagnostic results, findings, or a corrective action plan. I appreciate your attention to this matter and expect it to be handled with the urgency and rigor required for a case involving mechanical safety risks and manufacturer responsibility. I look forward to your prompt response. Finally we have not received an effective response, and the vehicle remains inoperable at my residence.
