asking when i look up this van it comes back as a cargo van, But with 22a configuration which is a crew van package, org owner used van as a hotel shuttle so was exposed to seldom shut offs so long periods if idling. i think stellantis's automated VIN capture failed to take this into account as it was high duty wear cycle and exposed to high current and i believe that what the recall #67c (b3-or c9c) was to address , i believe NHTSA # is 25v72000. so also was this a consideration ? on your part to convince...

I am writing to file this formal complaint regarding the purchase of a 2020 RAM ProMaster 3500 Cargo Van, which I purchased from High Quality Auto Group on May 11, 2026, for approximately $30,000. Before completing the purchase, I initially test-drove another vehicle that I was interested in purchasing. I was subsequently told by the dealership that the finance company would not approve me for that vehicle. The dealership then presented me with a different 2020 RAM ProMaster 3500 Cargo Van and told me that this...

vehicle would be a better option because it had fewer miles and was a heavy-duty model. Based on these representations and my understanding that this vehicle was a better option for my needs, I agreed to purchase it for approximately $30,000. Within 15 days of the purchase, the vehicle began experiencing serious mechanical issues. I promptly returned to your dealership to request assistance; however, I was denied service. I later took the vehicle to an authorized RAM dealership for a professional inspection and diagnostic evaluation. The diagnostic identified multiple issues, including: A coolant/antifreeze-related issue requiring service; A defective fuel pump; Failure of the air-conditioning system; and Abnormal engine noise requiring further diagnosis and repair. Additionally, after the purchase, I obtained a Carfax Vehicle History Report that revealed that the vehicle had been involved in an accident in 2024. I was not aware of this accident history at the time I purchased the vehicle, and this information was not disclosed to me before or during the sale, to the best of my knowledge. I later discovered that the vehicle I purchased had significant mechanical problems in addition to the accident history. These circumstances have resulted in financial losses, repair expenses, lost time, and disruption to my work. I respectfully request that High Quality Auto Group provide a fair and prompt resolution to this matter. I request consideration of one or more of
