The contact owns a 2015 Ram Promaster City. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the contact noticed that the fuel gauge on the instrument cluster was fluctuating. The contact also noticed that the vehicle had lost motive power and felt like the transmission was neutral. The contact attempted to depress the accelerator pedal however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact pulled over to the side of the roadway and waited for several minutes before restarting the vehicle. The vehicle restarted and the contact attempted to drive back to the residence however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was diagnosed by the local dealer and failure codes for the transmission module were retrieved. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.

I PURCHASED VEHICLE USED ON 2/14/2018. CARFAX STATED NO OUTSTANDING RECALLS. AFTER ABOUT ONE YEAR, VERY OCCASIONALLY, WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE, THE GEAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE UNTIL THE PROCESS WAS REPEATED. JUST RECENTLY, WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING, BOTH "SERVICE ENGINE" AND "TRANSMISSION" WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASH. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY A NEAR TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND AN OCCASIONAL STALL. THIS OBVIOUSLY CREATED A DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND THE OTHER DRIVERS IN MY AREA. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL RAM DEALERSHIP (PEACOCK - BLUFFTON, SC) AND (AFTER 5 DAYS) WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW "TRANSAXLE RANGE SENSOR WIRING HARNESS" ($700. +/-) AND A POWERTRAIN SOFTWARE UPDATE (WARRANTY). SOME RESEARCH REVEALED A RECALL BY FIAT-CHRYSLER (8/2016) FOR THE WIRING HARNESS - S55 / NHTSA 16V-529. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, FIAT-CHRYSLER WILL ONLY HONOR THIS RECALL FOR A PERIOD OF 2 YEARS FROM DATE OF ISSUE. FURTHER RESEARCH REVEALED THAT NHTSA REQUIRES RECALLS BE HONORED FOR A "REASONABLE" AMOUNT OF TIME, SUGGESTING THAT 10 YEARS IS "REASONABLE". THIS IS DAY #8 AS THE VEHICLE REMAINS IN A BAY AT THE DEALERSHIP. I AM LOOKING FROM SOME GUIDANCE ON HOW TO PROCEED.

Engine loss power, vehicle will completely shut down as if it did not have a battery, this has happed with in the last 6 months, vehicle will restart after a few minutes, engine light will come on, engine service transmission service and hill holder service warning on dash which has been service by dealer. This is a on and off issue which is a dangerous safety hazard for driver and other vehicles.

EXPERIENCES DANGEROUS STALLING AND LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER TO ENGINE DURING DRIVING. THIS CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS IS SPECIFICALLY A SYMPTOM OF ONE OF THE MANY RECALLS SUPPOSEDLY PERFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE ALREADY. I BELIEVE THE RECALL REPAIR PREVIOUSLY WAS NOT COMPLETED PROPERLY BECAUSE I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS 10 TIMES IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS.

WE OWN A 2015 RAM PROMASTERS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. TECH EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. ON THE DASH APPEARED A YELLOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A RED SYMBOL ( ! ). A MESSAGE READ "SERVICE REQUIRED - TRANSMISSION SERVICE". AS THE TECH ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE FREEWAY, AFRAID THAT THE VAN MIGHT STALL WITH INCOMING TRAFFIC. HE MADE A SAFE EXIT OFF THE FREEWAY. PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF IGNITION AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR IN HOPES THAT THE TROUBLE WOULD CLEAR. THE RED SYMBOL ( ! ) DISAPPEARED AND POWER WAS RESTORED. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BACK TO COMPANY.

CREAKY SUSPENSION. DEALER DIAGNOSIS: CAUSED BY FAULTY SWAY BAR END LINKS.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram Promaster City. The contact stated while operating the vehicle, the message "Service Hill Holder" remained illuminated, and the vehicle experienced harsh driving and would not properly shift into gear. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who reprogrammed the PCM under NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN); but the failure persisted. The contact stated that eventually,y the vehicle failed to start. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 100,000.

AFTER FIRST PURCHASING WE NOTICED IT TENDS TO SURGE FORWARD OR STALL OUT FROM TIME TO TIME, AND ON A FEW OCCASIONS WHEN PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE, IT SOUNDS LIKE A SLEDGE HAMMER HIT THE ENGINE. I HAVE BEEN TO AND CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER IN DUNN NC AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUES AND ASKED IF THE SEVERAL RECALL NOTICES I HAVE GOTTEN COVER THE ISSUES WE'VE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. I WAS TOLD WE DON'T HAVE THE PARTS YOU NEED, DON'T WORRY YOU WILL GET A LETTER TO BRING IT IN WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. WE GOT THE FIRST NOTICE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, AND HAVE 4 NOTICES NOW. ON ONE OCCASION I ALMOST HIT A BUILDING WHEN THE ENGINE LAGGED AND THEN SURGED UNEXPECTEDLY. SEEMS NO ONE WANTS TO ADDRESS ISSUE OR THEY HAVE JUST BEEN PUTTING THIS OFF TRYING TO WAIT TIL WARRANTY IS OVER.

SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER NOT VISIBLE WHEN DRIVING DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. HAVE ADJUSTED TO MAXIMUM BRIGHTNESS AND STILL CANNOT VISUALIZE WHILE DRIVING. MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINS OF SAME PROBLEM ON DODGE FORUM. COMPANY MAKING NO ATTEMPT TO CORRECT DEALERSHIP UNSYMPATHETIC. POOR ENGINEERING, IN MY OPINION AND VERY DANGEROUS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM PROMASTER CITY. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE LEAKED POWER STEERING FLUID ONTO THE GROUND. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT BATTERY ACID WAS LEAKING ONTO THE TRANSMISSION COVER, WHICH CAUSED ALL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.
