2019 Ram ProMaster owner complaints (15)

• POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  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.

• STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES

  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 contact was later advised by the dealer that the manufacturer stated that the contact had to pay for the transmission reassembly. The vehicle was not repaired.

• PARKING BRAKE,POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  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."

• POWER TRAIN

  Transmission oil leak on my 2019 Dodge Promaster 3500 van - please see attached: pdf 1 Safety Recall 61A info, pdf 2 for Bud Clary recall work done, pdf 3 for when leak 1st seen at Tacoma Dodge, and pdfs 4&5 for fix at Tacoma Dodge On [XXX], odometer 39,764 mi, Safety Recall 61A done (debris in the transmission may prevent the park pawl from fully engaging, which could cause the vehicle to roll away. ) by Bud Clary Dodge, 2925 Auburn Way N., Auburn, WA 98002 (253) 833-2485 On [XXX], odometer 49,672 miles, at engine oil change, transmission oil leak noted by Tacoma Dodge, 4101 S. 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.

• ENGINE

  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.
