The engine has been replaced in the truck with under 95k then the transmission goes down at 105k. Paid over 13k just for those two repairs within 4 months period. Those vans needs to be recalled for many complaints!

The etc warming light will come on and the van will decrease power momentarily, I usually pull over, turn the engine off and then back on. That light goes out and then the check engine light will come on and stay on. After several starts and stops the check engine light goes out. Dealer fixed it last week but the red flashing lights came on again as well as the check engine light.

Had the van serviced per the recall for the engine cooling fan issue. Took to the dealership I purchased from. After driving away from the dealership and getting about 50 miles down the road the service engine light came on. I could never get ahold of the dealership again. Don jackson in atlanta. They would never return calls. I took to another dealership and they say it's the engine cooling fan relay is shot. I did not have this problem before.

I had the cooling fan assembly replaced due to a noise and noticeable heat coming from the engine at 68262 miles. I later received a letter stating fca was doing a recall on this engine component. Approximately 7,000 miles or a month and a half later, I was getting a engine vibration and got a check engine light come on. I did a diagnostic scan and it said misfire in cylinder 2. I took the vehicle into the dealership and they informed me that it was the cylinder head that was bad and would have to be replaced. I asked them if the cooling fan recall would have caused this but they said no immediately. My vehicle has now sat at the dealership because they cant find parts to even repair this issue. They will not confirm if this is a common problem but this must be a huge problem if they cant even find parts any where to have it repaired. This vehicle is just a little past its warranty and should be covered due to the fact it was a recall issue that more than likely caused the cylinder head failure. The last time I received a email from fca was two weeks ago and they stated that there is still no eta on when parts will be available to repair my vehicle. I believe this is a huge safety issue if their recall issue is causing further damage and causing the engines to over head to cause cylinder head failure.

01/29/2020 sunlight 1 Dodge Promaster with 9000 miles at 9am pst errupted in flames. A security camera caught the event on camera, 9am pst. The vehicle smoked white smoke from the engine compartment area for 20 minutes and errupted with engulfing orange flames, and noise that alerted the dog inside the house. 911 was called and firemen worked for 3 hours to put out the flames. Had the campervan been parked nose to the home, the home would have caught fire, the Jeep parked within 3 ft of camper melted the rear panels, not known yet if it is a total loss. The camper had been used only for Transport, not camping. 9000 miles. No alterations and an added rear camera. It had sat in place 4 weeks in December in mid 40's degree weather. It was lightly raining when it burnt. The burn landed the engine on the ground. Access to the battery compartment was difficult for firemen. Parked in graveled driveway.
