Nothing has occurred, yet. I was told by Dodge representative, Riazen on 12/6/2025 “DO NOT DRIVE” as a result of the safety recall. As it is reported that 300,000 vehicle are affected by this recall I am terrified of driving my RV! I have initiated a vehicle buyback letter with John Elkann, and complaints with the CT Attorney General, CT Consumer Protection, CT Lemon Law, and BBB.

Without any warning my steering wheel locked up and started jerking resulting in lack of steering and drivability. I was backing out of my driveway and started to turn onto the street when this happened. This could have been very dangerous if I had been driving on regular roads. The van is currently parked on the street and available for inspection as I was able to gently maneuver it to a safe spot. This has been looked at by a mobile mechanic who put an OBD2 scanner on it and couldn't bring up

The emergency call / SOS system in my van has never worked. I have taken it in multiple times over the last 3 years to have this repaired to no avail. This is an advertised safety feature of the vehicle and has never worked properly and the dealership has avoided permanently fixing the problem for over 2 years now. I believe the problem is caused by an electrical shortage from bad factory seams on the roof leaking into the Emergency call unit.

Initial Diagnosis: We had the vehicle towed to a dealership for repair after losing steering while driving. The dealer's service department informed us that the issue was caused by water and corrosion in the electric power steering rack. They also indicated that this is a known issue, suggesting that the wiring harness seals are failing and allowing water to damage the system. Video the dealership sent us of the issue can be seen at [XXX] Repair Timeline: On July 30, 2025 I was informed that

My company issued 2023 Ram Promaster has an issue with the cab filling up with raw gas fumes during hot weather. They are very over bearing, make breathing difficult and of course they are flammable. I've taken it to the dealership 4 times now over the past year. The first 3 times they've said they can't replicate it and they don't smell anything. One dealership did try replacing the evap canister and fuel tank pressure sensor but this did not fix the issue. Eventually I determined the source of

20250828ENGINE

The oil pan for the van was damaged due to debris picked 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 such incidents to occur. The vehicle was repaired for $10,172 by budget as this was a rental van. Attached are the documents pertaining to this repair.
