VIN: 3C6MRVUG5NE140272 Recall data refreshed on Apr 18,2026 1Unrepaired Recalls associated with this VIN Oct 23,2025 Manufacturer Recall Number67C NHTSA Recall Number25V-720 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete, remedy not yet available Summary 4-13-2026 Is someone going to have to die because this vehicle is still on the road with a recall that could start a fire in the engine compartment that no one knows what causes it except that it has something to do with the radiator fans. This is a very serious situation. No one should be able to drive a vehicle with this kind of problem. This recall was issued several months ago, I think from October 2025. This van has a camper made in it by Thor Twist and sold by Camping World in Arkansas. We bought it to travel around the country we retire. What a nightmare. We have a granddaughter who lives with us and goes camping with us most of the time. We also have a handicapped daughter who also travels with us sometimes. She has never been able to walk. What if the van catches on fire while she is with us? My wife and I are in our mid 70’s. We have been losing sleep thinking about this The people we bought it from said it’s not their responsibility, same as Thor Twist. They say it’s a chassis problem and we need to call Chrysler Corporation. I called the Chrysler Corporation the Dodge dealership near our location. Recall notice states “The remedy for this condition is not currently available. We can’t plan any vacation time due to this recall. We now have nightmares about traveling anywhere in this van. We paid over $100,000 for this van and cannot use it. We are requesting that we return the van and get all our money back. We have had nothing but problems with this van and worry about making any trips in it in the future. We have had it in the shop 4 times for recalls and several other times for malfunctioning issues. We were unable to use the van for weeks at a time. Let us return it please.
The contact called for the owner of a 2022 Ram Promaster 3500. The vehicle was taken to be serviced due to a power steering failure. While operating the vehicle, the owner experienced a power steering failure, and the steering wheel was difficult to turn to the left or the right. The messages "Service Power Steering", "Service Hill Assist", "Service Collision Warning", "Blind Spot Alert Unavailable", and “Service ESC" were displayed. The contact diagnosed the vehicle and determined that water was inside the main steering connector, causing the power steering failure. The owner was informed that the steering rack needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not contacted. The contact was informed of NHTSA Action Number: PE26002 (STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the investigation. The failure mileage was 68,974.
This recall is supposed to be lifted as this is an RV. Please lift this recall
Less than a half mile into my work day the van started flashing all warning lights ( Hill assist, power steering, service engine, abs ETC.) I was on a busy road and was attempting to pull off to safety But the van turned off. Was able to jump it after 2 attempts and get it to the dealer 1 mile away, without any other lights coming back on aside from CEL. Dealer informed me I have 2 Corroded wiring harnesses, bad rack & Pinion and alternator is at 7%.... From what I've heard, this is a problem that could have been prevented by the manufacturers.. I also had a Transmission replacement at 30k miles and full Engine replacement at 55k miles. Currently at 80k Miles... This is Unacceptable for a Commercial fleet vehicle.
Power Steering Failed
My vehicle is subject to Safety Recall 67C for an engine-compartment fire risk involving the cooling fan module and inadequate fuse protection. I contacted an authorized Ram dealership and Stellantis corporate. Both confirmed that the recall is open and that no repair remedy is currently available. Stellantis has confirmed in writing (Case #95056397) that there is no interim safety solution available for affected owners while this recall remains unresolved. This vehicle is my primary residence. Stellantis has offered rental reimbursement, but this does not provide a safe or realistic interim solution for a vehicle that functions as both transportation and housing. The manufacturer has acknowledged a fire risk but has provided no interim safety guidance or accommodation for owners who cannot reasonably stop using the vehicle while awaiting a remedy. I am reporting this as a safety concern due to the lack of a remedy and the absence of interim safety guidance for affected owners. Stellantis has issued a stop-sale on affected vehicles, confirming the seriousness of the defect, while existing owners remain without a viable safety alternative.

My vehicle started to have an extremely aggressive shaking steering wheel when trying to turn into a parking lot leaving me stuck in the road for 10minutes not being able to turn without it jerking aggressively. Turns out its a common issue and caused by faulty plugs under vehicle going to the power steering motor that let water in and corrode the plugs/wiring. Dealer suggested I replace 2 wiring harnesses and motor.
Sudden failure of the power steering system. Vehicle became very difficult to steer, lucky no other cars or pedestrians were in the area. Per the dealer water entered the wiring harness and entered the power steering module causing it to fail. When the power steering failed, warning messages began appearing on the dash, which included "hill assist needs service", "ECS needs service", "FWC system needs service" and "Engine needs service".
Power steering failure. Luckily for us, the failure happened while still in our driveway, so no accident or collision occurred. We had warning messages for ESC, hill start assist, and several other systems, but nothing for EPS (electric power steering). The dealership was able to repair the problem by replacing the steering rack and two associated wiring harnesses. The mechanic noted water and a lot of corrosion in the wiring connector on the steering rack. This vehicle has only had normal water exposure (rain and puddles on the road).
The electronic power steering has failed on my 2022 Ram Promaster with 38,000 miles. While driving the steering wheel began jerking violently and couldn't be controlled. It seemed like there was a legitimate chance of the vehicle rolling over on the highway. The issue was reproduced and confirmed by a Ram Dealer in my area. The dealer stated "verified customer complaint intermittent lack of power steering assist at times. found I264A inline connection under vehicle full of water / mud with corrosion no connector repair kits available to fix any of this harness replacement with rack is required". There were no warnings lamps or any notification of an issue prior to or even while the issue occurred.
Seat belt ripped while putting seatbelt on. Nothing in the way of system. Local parts department advised 35 belts nationally are requested weekly. We shouldn’t have to pay $500 for their safety issue.
steering does not work due to malfunctioning steering rack. it has 21,000 miles & is under 3 years old.
Loosing power steering at 50,000 miles. Dealer states out of warranty. This should not be happening on less than a 3 year old promaster van. Total loss now. was happening randomly. driving 70 mph and hit a bump, steering would pull/jerk to the oppisite direction. also slower speeds as well, including reverse
The fcw/acc stopped working all possible fixes exhausted left turn signal intermittent failure. The fcw/acc started as intermittent but now doesn't function at all seems to be common issue from research. There were warning lights indicating an issue. Van was at a dodge dealer for fuel and other electrical issues
The contact's employer leased a 2022 Ram Promaster as a work vehicle. The contact stated that the front driver’s side door striker had become loosened and had started to detach from the frame of the vehicle. The contact stated that the door failed to lock securely while driving due to the failure. Upon further inspection of other work vehicles, the contact stated that there were several vehicles with similar failures. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
steering wheel keeps locking up and not able to turn at lower speeds (under 10- 20 miles) I took the car to the dealer ship and they said a part named gear- rack and pinion was replaced after waiting for almost 2 months for them to fix the car, Today I had to take the car back to the dealer after I just pick up the car a few days ago because steering keeps locking up after $2700 dollars of charges the car is not safe to drive I'm not sure if I'm the only person with this problem but I hope that if I'm not the only person with this issue you guys can help, thank you
The sliding side door cannot be manually unlocked. It can only be unlocked by the remote key FOB or by pressing an electrical switch in the cab. In the event of an emergency, such as a crash or fire, this may delay or prevent evacuation from the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2022 Ram Promaster 3500. The contact stated while driving at approximately 45 MPH, the Forward Collision Avoidance warning illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was driven however, the Forward Collision Avoidance safety feature was disabled. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the Forward Collision Avoidance system was not functioning properly; however, the dealer was unable to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 7,363.
While cruising at highway speed with adaptive cruise control enabled, the vehicle will incorrectly detect traffic/speed signs and will rapidly decelerate on a highway in traffic. I believe that the message that displays after detecting the new speed limit (improperly based on a sign other than a highway speed limit sign) without giving the option to reject using the "resume" button before. There is an option to disable traffic/speed sign detection, but that must be manually disabled in software every time the vehicle is re-started. Adjustment of the speed during adaptive cruise control based on traffic/speed signs should be disabled for safety. It's fine to have the speed limit displayed on the dash, but dangerous to have the vehicle adjust speed on its own without sufficient warning, or at all. I would like to request that RAM be directed to disable the software connection between traffic/speed sign detection and the adaptive cruise control so that, just like regular cruise control, the operator chooses the vehicle's speed. Note that this issue has happened many times since I've owned the vehicle, which was purchased as new, but I am now complaining to NHTSA because I experienced multiple incidents on my most recent trip that might have risked a rear-end collision from a vehicle following me when deceleration occurred.
Brakes failed (for the 4th or 5th time) while driving on the highway after approximately two hours. While traveling approximately 55mph on the highway (I do not drive engaging the brakes unless stopping) the Notice Service Braking System alert indicated on the dash. When I went to push in the brakes, they went to the floor, grinding and "pulsing" in and out as I attempted to stop. Please note that this issue has happened 3-4 times in the past and the dealership assures me this is normal. I was able to successfully get the vehicle to a dealership. THEY SAID THE STORED CODES MEANT NOTHING because they were stored and not active (see attached)That dealership stated they could not find anything wrong and therefore nothing to fix. I then drove the vehicle another two hours and the same thing happened. I got the vehicle to another dealership where it is now until they remedy the situation. In addition, when starting the vehicle from a cold state, the brakes often go to the floor and grind. Again, the dealership assures me this is 'normal' and to simply pump the brakes to remove excess air. This is a new vehicle with less than 8k miles, purchased new and has been occurring since purchased.
My tire pressure sensors are only working intermittently. The dealers are saying it’s because my van has factory window tint which interferes with the sensor transmission.
The contact owns a 2022 Ram Promaster. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V436000 (Back Over Prevention); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that while turning on the propane, there was a large cloud of propane forming underneath the vehicle. The contact became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V755000 (Equipment). The vehicle had been taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was a propane leak. The dealer confirmed that parts for NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V436000 (Back Over Prevention) were not available, and the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V755000 (Equipment). The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V755000 (Equipment).

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and the contact was denied reimbursement for replacing the Firmware. The contact had not experienced a failure related to the recall. Parts distribution disconnect.
The engine cowl between the windshield and the hood has been failing since day 1. This is a 2023/2022 Promaster 2500/Winnebago Solis. Winnebago says RAM is responsible and RAM says it is a non issue. The engine bay floods every time it rains. I have to cover it in and out to hopefully prevent engine and computer damage. There are many hundreds of events of flooding and damage with no admission of cowl and windshield damage. With fires becoming more prevalant, I am concerned with a fire, a life threat to me and my family. We need some kind of help. Please check this all over the web. It is a problem for all Promaster. I only get a Non Issue from RAM AND NOTHING FROM Winnebago. I have sent pictures and videos to both. NOTHING BACK. Maybe there are people are knowable in fixing. I believe this is an extremely serious, life threating issue. Water and electricity never mixes. Please HELP.10
This is a brand new purchased vehicle on April 18. I experienced complete brake failure was able to get off the interstate and the brakes vibrated would smash down as vibrating and then ground against metal is what it sounded like when I would press. I had it flatbed towed, and the truck driver also noted the problem. Once the truck was back at my home it no longer had the problem. I took it to a dealership. They did not find anything wrong. I once again took the vehicle to drive it and the brake system is completely malfunctioning again with the pedal, smashing all the way to the floor and Again metal on metal. The vehicle is completely unsafe and undrivable.
The contact owns a 2022 Ram Promaster 2500. The contact stated that while driving at 25 MPH in the rain, the power steering and check engine warning lights illuminated. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle however, the warning lights remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, and the dealer became aware that there was water inside the power steering connector and determined that the steering rack and wiring harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 26,602.
The chassis battery keeps dying after a few days. There was a recall for awning to correct issue because it would open on its own. We did recall now there is another one for seatbelt. But no one is addressing the battery that keeps draining. We replaced battery already once. Dodge said it will go dead after a week no matter what. Ours don’t even make it 4 days. This is a safety issue because of the awning opening but it affects the battery. We would get stuck and no one to jump us.
On November 3, 2023 I was driving the van on the NYS Thruway. I had stopped at a rest area to use the facilities. When I returned to the van about 5 minutes later the vehicle was smoking profusely and objects were falling out of the engine area. By the time i got to the van there were flames coming out of the engine area and the entire front of the van was engulfed in flames. Luckily someone had called the fire department and the flames were extinguished quickly. In the meantime I had removed 2 Alpacas from the rear of the van with the help of witnesses. There were no warning signs of an issue with the engine. No warning lights and not burning odor. So, yes, I feel the I, my alpacas, and others safety were put at risk. I am so thankful that the fire started while I was stopped at the rest area and not while driving on the thruway and avoided a real tragedy. The van is a total loss.The incident has been reported to insurance and currently under investigation and are waiting a final report.
This is to report a safety report for a potentially serious, even fatal windshield, body, engine and transmission defect. Rain water pours down the windshield and floods the engine overcoming al engine parts especially electrical, transmission and engine parts that should remain dry and safe. Windshield to cowl to engine compartment will flood and overcome safety equipment. When driving in rain I received electronic messages of failure. Headlights flood which could lead to a disaster. Ram will not admit part failures, but the constant flooding is well documented. Please help the many thousands of Ram Promasters get a recall which can save lives and their vehicles. Research will give you hours and hours of similar series problems. Please help us get Stealantis/Ram to own up to this manufacturing mishap. Thanks
When driving on a freeway or highway, without cruise control on, & the pavement surface changes color &/or texture (eg: going onto a bridge/overpass) the vehicle will decelerate quickly & without us pressing the brakes. All the systems were checked by Dodge Ram & were showing no errors with software etc, as we thought this was traction control not working properly due to a software problem etc.
I purchased this Ram Promaster 3500 in 2022. In 2023 I was in Canada and went to have a spare key made. The dealer was unable to program a key to the vehicle. When I returned home to the Seattle area I took the vehicle to a Seattle Ram Business link dealer. They were also unable to program a key. May of 2025 I took the vehicle in for work and asked them to continue investigating the key issue. They were still unable to do so and said that I needed a new RFH. This repair did not fix the problem and made it impossible to start the engine. They also replaced the PCM. This did not correct the problem. A tech was called from MOPAR who found a STAR ONLINE PUBLICATION for mopar which states that between Ram vehicles ( I don’t know if it is specific to ProMasters) manufactured between the dates of 11/29/2021 and 12/23/2021 had an “incorrect encryption software being programmed to the immobilizer modules.” If you type the VIN into the Service Library you can verify that S2208000129 is applicable. I was not made aware of this until I picked up the vehicle from the dealer with the old parts reinstalled. My concern is that I don’t know what else this problem in terms of the electrical and safety systems.
The left brake actuator (68603568AA) literally fell apart on the vehicle at 40,000 miles. This triggered a warning on the dash and disabled emergency braking as well as cruise control. The local RAM dealers refuse to do anything about it because the warranty expired 4,000 miles ago, so we took it to an independent mechanic. They ordered the replacement part but informed us it was back ordered with no ETA and that there are no aftermarket parts available. After an exhaustive search, the mechanic was able to secure the factory part, only to find out the right actuator (68591375AA) was in a box labeled for the left side. I personally spent several days looking for another. I even called dealerships in Canada and was told it’s on a “continent-wide backorder with no ETA." Finally, we were able to secure another, only to discover the exact same problem upon arrival. Now, the mechanic has been trying to order a right-hand actuator in the hope the left one might be in the wrong box as well and a THIRD left. The vehicle has been completely inoperable for over two months, with no end in sight. This vehicle is critical to our business and we've had to rent a replacement at over $500 a week. So far, this has cost now us over $3,000...for what should have been a $200 part and an hour of shop labor. I strongly believe Stellantis should be covering all of this for us, as they are the ones responsible for the complete lack of parts availability for critical safety parts such as emergency brakes and considering how close the problem was to the warranty expiration.

Again, with what seemed like the only option, we reluctantly added fuel WHILE THE RAM WAS RUNNING!!!! SO SCARY!!!!! Service Department/Dealership at the Flower Motor Company in Montrose, Colorado was closed upon arrival (Dealership and Service Department hours 8:00am-5:30) SAFETY ISSUE!!! We had to sleep in the RAM in the parking lot of the dealership--WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING!!! The Montrose Police came to help turn off engine but with no luck, they agreed that spending the night in the RAM was perhaps the best action, yet this was again a SAFETY ISSUE (!!!) due to the vulnerability of sleeping on a property without permission or security in a city we do not know. EXHAUST EXPOSURE (SAFETY ISSUE!!!) overnight the Flower Motor Group Service Department opened on 06/16/2023 at 7:30-5:30. We were awakened by the Service Manager (SAFETY ISSUE!!!).

Absolutely ZERO service parts availability for over a year now for the REAR BRAKE SYSTEM. no Rotors, brake pads, caliper assemblies from any RAM dealer in the US. This is a relatively new vehicle, however we cannot service our brake system because RAM will not supply the market with service parts!
Forward Collision Warning ("FCW") shuts down during vehicle operation, FCW Off dash warning light comes on, dash message system indicates FCW system restarting a couple of times, and then messages FCW unable to start, take unit to the dealer for servicing. This happens about every other time vehicle is started. Vehicle taken into local dealer twice, the last being on May 22, 2023, where dealer confirmed it was able to reproduce problem. From repair invoice: " 2960 NEEDS FORWARD FACING CAMERA FOR HALF CAMERA FAULT Cl4A5-92. SENSOR BLINDED BUT CANNOT REPLACE DUE TO CHRYSLER CALIBRATION PROCEDURE CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE AT THIS TIME." I purchased unit brand new, 59 miles on odometer. FCW turning off has happened intermittently since I purchased (February 2023). I reached out to the manufacturer, FCA LLC, last month via e-mail and they could not provide and expected date replacement/repair parts will be available. My assigned service advisor at the local dealer no longer returns my calls or e-mails on when part will be available.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram Promaster 2500 equipped with a Mobility Network I-Class Model, S/N: 75864-2020. The contact stated while lowering the wheelchair lifter with 600 pounds on the lift, the lift rubbed against the rear tires. The contact lifted the wheelchair lifter and noticed that the lift also rubbed against the rear tires. The contact checked the manual of the wheelchair lift and noticed that the lift was installed incorrectly, and that it was missing the filler plates, causing the floor of the vehicle to deform and causing the lifter to rub against the rear tires of the vehicle. The installation company was contacted but the installation company provided no assistance. The wheelchair lift was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 9,239.
On 11/2022 my company purchased a 2023 Dodge Promaster Work Van from a dealership brand new. In March 2023 one of my employees was driving the vehicle and there was an electrical issue which caused the breaks to not respond, and we rear ended a car which then hit the car in front of them. We were only going around 10-20 MPH as we were coming to a red light and could not stop. We requested an investigation into the source of the issue as it should not be out fault that a brand new car's breaks failed. Chrysler corporate sent someone to look at the van. They concluded that after market LEDs were installed in the back of the van improperly, and it caused a short in the electrical system which caused the breaks to fail. Chrysler Corporate said it was not their issue and closed the case. After looking at pictures from before we ever even looked at the van I saw that the LEDs were already there. The dealership admitted in email that the LEDs were in the van before we even took it off the lot. I told my insurance company this, but they did not pursue it leaving the liability on us. My insurance then dropped us as a customer. The dealership stated in email they fixed the LED lights and everything works once again. We take the van and begin using it again. Fast forward to March 2024, a different worker is driving the same van and they are again coming to a red light. The breaks fail once again. This time the breaks were going to the ground and not slowing the van down at all. My worker hits another car and then turns off and hits a fence so he does not hit anyone else in the road. This time I send my van to my local certified Chrysler dealership to have it sit there as I will initiate an inspection once again. After another month or so they finally inspect it around April 20th. This time after the inspection finishes, but does not give me a reason just meta data. You can see we used the breaks, but the speed did not slow down. This van has been a nightmare.
When using Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Traffic Sigh Assist (TSA) engaged (the default) on an interstate or other high speed road - for example the current highway speed limit is 65 and the ACC maximum speed is also set at 65 MPH, the TSA (wrongly) detects a much lower speed limit, say 25 MPH, the system flashes a warning AND AUTOMATICALLY APPLIES THE BRAKES without allowing the driver to respond to the warning message. According to the user manual, what is supposed to happen, is that the TSA warning message displayed on the dash says "new speed limit detected" and SUGGESTS that the driver can accept the detected speed limit as the new ACC maximum speed by pressing the RES resume button on the the steering wheel. If the driver does not respond, the ACC max speed stays as set. This is seriously dangerous! imagine going 65 MPH in heavy traffic and suddenly, unexpectedly the brakes are applied so violently that the vehicle skids and swerves out of its lane. This has happened multiple times to me. I believe this is caused by 2 problems: 1 The TSA wrongly detects a significantly lower speed limit sign. I don't know for sure but I guess it might "see" a sign on an exit ramp or parallel service road. 2 The vehicle automatically sets the new TSA speed as the ACC top speed and automatically applies the bakes instead of allowing the driver the option of setting the new speed limit by pressing the RES button. I have spent the last week trying to report this to the RAM dealer and Customer Care but they don't seem to be very responsive. They say I should schedule and pay for a diagnostic session but they have no openings until mid-January. Even if I took it in, I doubt the diagnostics would show anything because this is most likely a software issue. It would also be difficult to duplicate on local roads. I do know another person who has reported this same problem on YouTube and is able to recreate it as detecting a speed limit sign on a parallel service road.
The text coincides with this video I made. Here is its URL. https://youtu.be/hpA-Dw_-ihY This is my second time reporting this issue. My first report was comprised of just text. I was told that a video would be more helpful. The issue follows: Periodically when I have been using Adaptive Cruise Control the van will automatically, harshly apply the brakes in the middle of the highway. It took me a while to figure out what was happening. It has to do with Traffic Sign Assist which is enabled by default. When the van detects a speed limit sign that is at a speed limit slower than what I am traveling, a message appears on the dash that says "New Speed Limit Detected. Press "Res" to Reject" This is the opposite of the way the owners manual says Traffic Sign Assist should work. The owner's manual says when a new speed limit is detect the user will be given the OPTION to accept the new speed. The manual says, if the user does not accept the new speed the vehicle will continue as it was. It will not apply the brakes. The consequence of the way it is implemented in my van is that if you do not see the message (because your eyes on the road) the van will AUTOMATICALLY apply the brakes. I have had it happen when traveling 65 mph and encountered a 25 mph speed limit sign at an exit. It only occurs with white speed limit signs. A 45 MPH speed limit sign appears on a service road at time :16. Just as the speed limit passes out of my FOV the message appears on the dash and the brakes are applied when I do not press "Res" to reject the new speed limit sign. Each of the times it happened in this video, first when it encountered a 45 mph sign and later when it detected a 55 mph, I was not expecting it. If you zoom into the video, or the attached picture, you can see the message.
While using adaptive cruise control and traffic sign assist, the vehicle has a feature called intelligent speed assist. It is supposed to detect new speed limits signs and ask the user if they want to adjust their set speed. Instead, the feature automatically changes the set speed without user input. For example, you are going down the highway with adaptive cruise control set to 75 mph. The vehicle erroneously picks up a lower speed limit of 45 mph (could be for feeder road, highway exit speed, or old construction sign, etc...). Within a few seconds the vehicle begins to aggressively brake on the highway in order to reach the lower speed limit. This is very dangerous as it is a surprise to the driver and could result in a collision.

I'd like to report a safety issue with the RAM PROMASTER 3500 chassis. Ours is a Winnebago Solis PX Campervan. The sliding van side door is often impossible to open from the inside. There is a plastic lever that doesn't catch and is ineffective. I've been locked in many times after pulling and pulling on it and when the front seats are turned around for camping it's difficult to use the front doors to exit. Obviously, in case of an emergent need to get out of the van, this is dangerous. I've seen many other owners of this model complain of the same issue. I believe its serious enough to require a recall but in any event, it should be redesigned immediately. There has not to my knowledge by inspected by any of the entities you've listed though I don't know if others have complained to them. It is available for inspection. Thank you.
Speedometer units and units used to set cruise control randomly change from MPH to km/h occasionally when the vehicle is started. No safety risk. Problem has occurred multiple times but dealer was not able to reproduce. There are no warning lamp associated with this issue.
Electronic parking break automatically applies when the vehicle is in gear (drive/reverse) when beginning to drive up or down slopes. This limits drivers ability to control the vehicle when driving up or down hilly terrain. Problem has repeatedly occurred but dealer was not able to reproduce issue. There are no warning light or messages with this issue.
1. Service Airbag Warning Light - illuminates on the dash every 15-20 minutes while driving 2. Forward Collision Warning icon illuminates on the dash every time the vehicle is driven, regardless of the number of times it is turned off via the settings feature on the UConnect display. SOS Call Unavailable/Please visit an authorized dealer - this message pops up on the UConnect display every 15-20 minutes while vehicle is driven. I have taken the vehicle to a Ram/Chrysler dealership in Tucson, AZ. and the dealer has stated that they found nothing wrong with the vehicle and if the issue persists, there is nothing they can do and that I should just wait for a "bug" fix to be provided by Chrysler Corporation to address any potential software issues. I feel unsafe driving the vehicle, as I do not know if the airbag will deploy if i'm ever involved in a collision.
A big chunk of tread separated from the tire while on a 3000 mile trip. We believe it occurred when we were nearly home and were lucky that there was no blowout. There was no damage to the tire that we are aware of but it could have been very dangerous situation.
Is intelligent speed assist implemented backward in the new Ram Promaster 3500? I attached a screenshot of the owners manual page describing how it should be working. I have experience several instances of the van automatically slamming on the brakes when traveling down the highway when the van recognizes a 25 mph speed limit sign for an off ramp. I have not been the only one. There are other posts about similar situations on the Ram Promaster Facebook page. I have a 2023 Solis 59PX that is built on the (new) 2022 Ram 3500 chassis. My Promaster happened to come with adaptive cruise control. This post is regarding the implementation of the intelligent speed assist feature which can automatically adjust the max speed of the van based on traffic signs it recognizes. The manual says that "the message in the instrument cluster display will indicate the new detected speed limit by suggesting the driver to press "RES" to accept it." Where the manual says the instrument panel prompts the user to press a button to accept the suggested speed, I recall my instrument panel requiring me to press a button to dismiss the accepted speed. If I didn't see the prompt to dismiss the new speed, I recall the van automatically changing speeds. I recall mine switching speed on several occasions, automatically, without having to press anything, which resulted in some dangerous moments when traveling 65 MPH on the highway and the van detecting a 25 MPH sign for an off-ramp and slamming on the brakes. I am wondering if it is implemented backward in my van. I recall it saying "dismiss" where the manual says it should say "accept". The manual describes the system working in a way that makes more sense to me and is opposite of the way I recall mine working. In the manual it describes the system making a suggestion to change based on the sign but requires user input to actually accept it. There are several posts about the same thing on the RamPromaster Facebook page.
