-Vehicle shut off on highway, lost power steering Vehicle fan sounds like it's running full speed after turning off engine. Turning key off and pulling out did not shut off engine. Engine appeared to be overheating. Electric system was making lots of clicks and odd noises. Power steering pump went out in intersection. Police helped push van out of traffic.

Vehicle Electronic throttle control had a malfunction and system went into limp mode on a highway at highway speeds of 70mph. The engine destroyed itself instead of limping. Lost power and almost got hit by a semi truck and other vehicles when this happened. Ended up getting a used engine due to current remanufacture costs etc. Total cost out of pocket because the dealership lied about my warranty and what was covered and for how long was around $7,000 parts lanor etc. Limp mode is dangerous and the way it happened on a highway could have gotten me or others seriously hurt or killed. Also now there is an electrical error code P0482 which is electronic coller fan issue other rams are having. All vehices in this series that have the recalled fan should be included the 2018 has issues but no recalls but has the same components of other recalls.. doesn't make sense.

The contact owns a 2018 Ram Promaster 2500. When the vehicle was started, an abnormal knocking sound was heard coming from the engine. The vehicle was taken to frank fletcher Dodge Chrysler Jeep (located at 3314 stadium blvd, jonesboro, ar 72404, (870)277-2011) where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. A separate obd scan showed that there was a misfire on cylinder number 2. the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The contact was also informed that the vehicle was outside of the warranty period. As a result, there would be a 48 hour period before a determination would be made as to whether additional assistance would be offered. The approximate failure mileage was 99,000.

Poor seal at windshield allowing water to enter into engine bay and electrical. Engine dies out when driving while raining, headlights blow and need to be replaced. Electrical problems since water is always getting into engine bay. Dealer says its common and is nothing they can do about it.
