While driving, the vehicle experienced a sudden and complete loss of motive power without warning. The driver coasted off the road into a swale and required a tow to an authorized RAM dealer, December 9 2025 to CDJR of Tampa Bay, Tampa FL. The dealer initially indicated the failure was covered under Recall 44A, then changed their position and characterized it as a powertrain warranty repair. Following that repair the vehicle was returned immediately in January 2026 when it would not engage reverse. In May 2026 the...

Vehicle bottomed out and lodged on concrete entering driveway. Thor Scope Ram Promaster 1500 Chassis sits low and Thor installed Cummins Onan generator and 2 Trojan batteries under the chassis, that sit 2 or more inches below the rear axle against the Cummins install guidelines. The generator needs 6 to 8 inches for ventilation according to manual and RV mechanics. Both generator and batteries collocated together coming in contact with road debris, objects, water on roadways may cause critical failure of systems resulting in hazardous conditions (stalling, loss of control, fire, explosion) to drivers.

I have a ecodiesel promaster wich doesn't have a parking on the transmission and have to use hand brake every time I park wich gets stuck in winter time and makes the rotors and pads on rear to get worn out really quickly wich costs a lot to replace since they're not covered by warranty bad design of transmission without parking option costs user lots of money

Rear suspension started making a squeaking noise around 30,000 miles. Unfortunately my warranty was up and the dealer wanted to charge me. I told them I have been researching this problem on the internet and there have beed many complaints, not just with the 1500 but also the 2500. The suspension noise is so bad when I am on bluetooth phone the person I am talking with can also hear this. This needs to be recalled for safety reasons as well. It keeps getting worse. It sounds like the rear end is going to fall apart. By the way it doesn't matter the speed you are driving.

Rear suspension springs metal-to-metal scraping and loud creaking noise

I noticed the rear suspension making a loud squeaking noise while driving at any speed. I believe it's the rear rubber bushings. And only have 15,000 miles on the van. It doesn't matter if I have anything in the bed. Very loud and the dealer stated I would have to pay for it because my warranty was up. This should be a recall for sure. I have been to many dodge forums and I see the same complaint. Please make this a recall or I am forced to sell this pos.

Vehicle overheating due to cooling fan failure and faulty front struts and the cv joints

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ram promaster. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, a loud squeaky noise emitted from the rear of the vehicle. The failure occurred whenever the vehicle was in operation. In addition, when the engine was operable, a strong odor of coolant circulated inside and outside of the vehicle. There was no coolant visible on the ground. On separate occasions, the engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle began to vibrate violently and misfired. After turning the...

There is a defect in the engine electrical system that keeps burning parts out like light bulbs, engine coil packs, & dash components. The suspension in the rear squeeks so badly that you have to wear ear plugs to drive it. The engine smells of antifreeze leaking all the time and the breaks squeal and grind... Our dealer tries to fix things but keeps telling us that dodge has not come up with a fix for my problems as of yet. Dealer refuses to document repair attemps and gives us no paperwork!

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ram promaster. While driving at any speed and traveling up a slope, the vehicle slipped and independently veered to the opposite side of the road. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The dealer recommended an alignment be performed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred.

Wobble at around 30mph. It is a itasca rv on a ram promaster. Chrysler & winnebago have been throwing us back & forth since nov. 2014. Each of them say it is the fault of the other. *Tr

My ram promaster based class c rv has a door sticker that says not to exceed 9350 lb gvwr. Dynamax also placed a sticker with dry weight 8024 lb, cargo capacity 1108 lb. The dealer filled gas, propane, and water when I bought it. I went to dot scale front axle 3540 lb + rear axle 5220 lb = 8760 lb which is less than 9350 lb gvwr. My problem is my wet weight with no cargo is only 60 lb less than 5291 lb rawr. How can I possibly carry 5 - 150 lb passengers or add any cargo weight to the storage compartments or...
