I own a 2019 Ram ProMaster. The vehicle previously received the manufacturer recall repair for the transmission park issue (software update). After the recall repair, the vehicle experienced a safety issue where it would roll freely while in “Park,” as if it were in neutral, even though the dashboard indicated “P.” This created a rollaway risk. This happened August 2025 intermittently. Miles on the vehicle 68k. I recently (4/17/2025) serviced the transmission (approximately 73,000 miles) and found significant internal damage evidence. The transmission fluid was heavily contaminated, and I found approximately 11 square metal fragments around 1/4 inch in size inside the transmission pan and filter. This amount and size of metal debris indicates internal transmission failure. The prior rollaway condition combined with internal debris suggests the recall repair did not fully resolve the defect. Although the vehicle is currently engaging Park, the condition was intermittent and may reoccur without warning. This presents an ongoing safety risk of unintended vehicle movement. I am concerned that the recall remedy (software update) is insufficient to address mechanical failure inside the transmission, and that other vehicles may have the same unresolved defect.

The powertrain transmission failed after a prior warranty replacement. The vehicle began experiencing improper and delayed gear shifting, loss of power, and inability to maintain speed. This condition made the vehicle unsafe to operate, especially in highway traffic, as it could not respond properly to normal driving conditions or surrounding vehicles. The problem was confirmed by a dealership, and all diagnostic procedures and documentation requested by the manufacturer were completed. The vehicle has been out of service for several weeks awaiting another warranty transmission replacement, with no estimated timeline provided. The transmission is currently at the dealership and available for inspection upon request. No crash occurred, but the failure created a serious safety risk due to loss of drivability in traffic.

The ABS warning light turned on when the vehicle reached approximately 82,033 miles. After driving about 100 additional miles, at around 82,133 miles, the braking system overheated and nearly failed, producing a burning smell and loud noise. The vehicle became unsafe to operate and left me stranded at night near Lonoke. I had to wait for the brakes to cool and then drive slowly to a repair shop the next morning. A repair shop confirmed that the braking system and parking brake were damaged due to lack of proper maintenance prior to sale. The full repair estimate was $1,257.34, but the dealership paid only $1,090.00 and refused to authorize the parking brake repair, leaving the vehicle unsafe. The vehicle had been driven less than 1,500 miles and for less than 15 days when this failure occurred. Additionally, this vehicle has 2 open NHTSA safety recalls that were not repaired before the sale, which indicates the dealership delivered the vehicle without completing mandatory safety repairs. This creates a serious safety hazard and could lead to total brake failure while driving.

The subject vehicle, according to the third party administrator for the vehicle's insurance co. had a transmission malfunction. The vehicle is owned by a subcontractor for the purpose of delivery for a seller. The vehicle, according to the TPA, was put in park and the emergency brake was applied, as shown by the interior video camera, and the vehicle went in reverse while the employee was in the back of the van, getting the order ready to deliver. The vehicle travelled in reverse approximately 90 feet down a 40 degree grade, making a left turn into my yard, and slammed into my side porch, making a very loud noise as if there was an explosion. I was sitting approximately 30 feet away in my back yard, and several children were playing in the yard across the road from the accident location. If the vehicle had travelled several more feet down the road and then turned left into my yard, it may have hit the gas meter and caused an explosion, possibly lethal to me, my neighbors, the driver, as well as destroyed my home. This vehicle had been recalled twice previously for problems with the transmission. See "WOO/NHTSA 20V-036" and "61A/NHTSA 23V-301."

Tacoma Way, Tacoma, WA 98409 (253) 475-7300 On [XXX], odometer 51,582 Tacoma Dodge verified transmission oil leak, transmission service done to replace oil and reseal leaking pan. A test drive showed additional leak at upper transmission pan and that was resealed and passed 2nd test drive showing no leaks. I was charged $256.70 for a "transmission service", normally part of scheduled maintenance at 60,000 miles, and not associated with leaks. I believe I should not be charged for this since the leakage was seen after only (about) 10,000 miles after the transmission serviced for the recall. There are known issues with the RTV sealant used leaking if not not installed correctly. I am also concerned if the Safety Recall 61A was implemented properly. Not clear how to verify that.

The oil pan for the van was damaged due to debris pick up on the road resulting in a hole, which in turn drained the engine oil and jammed the engine preventing from operation. The lack of protection to the oil pan which is exposed, caused the debris to damage the oil pan. Ford Transit vans have a protection under the oil pan which prevents these type of incidents to happen. This vehicle was taken to the repair shop and they want $18527.10 to fix this problem. A small fix of few hundred should have solved the problem, if the manufacturer had the trouble to think through the design phase.

I received notice of a recall in June 2023. I contacted every nearby dealership in my area. None of the company service centers was able to complete the recall service. Because my vehicle has been converted into a motorhome (by a RAM approved upfitter), it is heavier that the standard vehicle and they told me they do not have the proper equipment to complete the anticipated repairs. I called the RAM custom service center and they were unable to locate a dealership to help me and unwilling to authorize reimbursement if I had the repairs completed by another qualified mechanic. After postponing any more follow-up, I received a second recall notice just recently. I again called the same dealers hoping to find a capable service center. They are all still unable to complete the repairs. After spending another 40+ minutes talking with a RAM customer service associate, they eventually told me that I could have the repairs performed and request a reimbursement - but that would not guarantee they would pay the costs of the repairs. I would like RAM to authorize me to have the repairs completed by a qualified mechanic and guarantee I will be reimbursed for the repairs related to the two recalls.

Unintended rapid deployment of the awning after pulling into a rest area. Had to climb up a ladder to manually retract the awning and duct tape the damaged awning to the rail. This could have happened while driving. This has happened to many, many other owners of the Coachmen class B RVs with the Carefree awnings. Upon inspection after returning home, the awning motor's plastic tabs were sheared off and the aluminum end plate was broken & distorted. My awning was not part of any recall as were some other Carefree awnings. This is a safety hazard with potentially life threatening consequences to other drivers.

For the second year in a row, we took a rock to our windshield from a truck and had to have the windshield replaced. The problem seems to be the bad mudflaps on especially semi-trucks or other trucks. Many trucks are missing the mudflaps or they are so thin, they blow upward by the wind. In reviewing semi's passing me, I did see an Amazon truck go by that had a AeroFlap mudflap that stayed down and would most likely prevent rocks from being thrown up to car or van windshields. To mimimize this safety problem and save many insurance companies or vehicle owners the cost of a new windshield, request the DOT move to require AeroFlap mudflaps on all trucks. Thanks

When it rains water runs into the engine compartment and all of my wiring is dripping water. The service manager told me that they see this problem a lot and that they don't know how to fix it. I have looked online and there are many people complaining about this. Most people think it is the cowl leaking on the bottom of the windshield. I feel like if my wiring gets wet enough that I will have a malfunction.

The contact owns a 2019 Ram Promaster 3500 equipped with Nexen Tires, Tire Line: Rodian HT, Tire Size: 225/75/16, DOT Number: (N/A). The contact stated that the driver’s and passenger’s side tires showed evidence of tread separation. The tires were replaced. On another occasion, the contact became aware that the rear tires had started to disintegrate. The tires were replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the tires were defective and should not have been installed on the RV. The failure mileage was 20,000. UPDATE 06/15/23- Consumer states " I had subsequent correspondence with Winnebago. They claimed no responsibility for the excessive tire wear. They stated that they buy the chassis from Promaster with those tires in place. I filed a warranty claim with Nexan. They responded that the tire warranty was null and void because these tires are not to be used on a motorhome. They provided me a copy of the warranty. The representative told me the tires had never been tested or approved to be used on a motorhome. They claim to have given Winnebago notice. There were numerous discussions with Promaster, Winnebago and Nexan. Promaster did not claim any responsibility in the matter. Their position was that they sell the chassis to Winnebago and have no knowledge of what they build on the chassis. Winnebago said that they would refer the matter to their engineering department. Nexan stated that as an act of "goodwill" they would rebate me. The point of contact with Nexan was Aaron Wilson @ 330-949-2829 ext 165. awilson@NexanTireUSA.com. He reiterated that these tires were not designed for the motorhome due to the excessive weight. Unloaded the motorhome is 9,600 lbs. The tires were never tested on this unit. He stated that he had documentation that Winnebago was advised accordingly."

This a Window Model the fixed windows are coming out of the van. Vehicle has never been wrecked. Took the vehicle to the dealership they do not how to repair. Spoke to the manufacturer they refuse to assist even though it is under warranty. This is a serious safety issue if the Fixed Windows are detaching from the body they will fall into the Van causing injury to passengers. If they fall outward it would cause a traffic accident. There is no known repair for this as the dealers/manufacturer have no guidance published. It has been to two reputable glass installation companies they cannot repair.

It started to rain and my windshield wipers stopped working. Because it was raining so hard, I was forced to pull off on the shoulder of the road as there was no safe place to turn. We went to a Dodge Dealer who diagnosed the problem as a bad windshield wiper motor. They could not fix it because the item was backordered until July 13th. Because of the backorder, I am forced to drive with no windshield wipers, which is extremely dangerous.

Aftermarket seat swivels were installed in a 2019 Promaster 3500-based RV, in mid-2020. Were swivel seats required to be equipped with gear shift lockouts that engage when the seat is not locked in the full forward position, and if not then, are lockouts now required? I do know that the gear shift lockout is a feature of the 2020 Promaster 3500 equipped with factory installed swivel seats.
