This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality. To compare this model year with others, use the year navigation in the sidebar or return to the model overview page.

While driving in forward motion, the van seems to brake or downshift for a brief second. Seems to pull to left a little. Could be very hazardous if this isn’t fixed.
On 3/13/26 we were driving to a location to make a delivery when the steering locked up causing loss of control, the driver was able to correct the van and was able to limp it back to our location, we contacted our dealer Bob Johnson Chrysler in Avon NY where we just dropped it off today 3/17/26 , He stated that he hadn't heard of any issues with that vehicle, but I looked up the cause and saw that there has been a ongoing problem, luckily our driver was going slow enough to be able to gain control before he crashed. this van was purchased new from this dealer in November of 2022 and only has 13500 miles on it. The dealer hasn't looked at it yet but said its out of warranty and probably wont be covered
The contact owns a 2023 Ram Promaster 2500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel was shaking abnormally. The Forward Collision Avoidance warning light was illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that the failure had occurred while driving over a speed bump or while turning the steering wheel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with EPS control module connector failure. The contact was informed that the EPS control module connector needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The contact stated that the failure was a known failure with the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 88,000.
Steering wheel hard to turn. Not able to react quickly. Confirmed by independent service center that the rack and pinion is faulty. Not inspected by anyone else, and no warning lamps illuminated. Independent repair shop is going to replace rack and pinion.
Emergency call system has never worked. Dealership and Chrysler have done nothing to resolve the issue
12v DC outlet caught fire
The electronic power steering system randomly cuts out. While turning on the on ramp, speeding up to get up to highway speeds the power steering randomly cuts out when hitting small bumps. This caused the van to almost drive into the wall going 40+ mph. I had to use 2 hands an a lot of force to correct the steering. This is especially scary because I regularly drive on snowy roads on i70 in the winter. On a slick surface this would cause me to loose control of the van with no way to correct it. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer/police/insurance. There were no warning signs.
Power Steering will stop working at different times
Moisture in the air has corroded the wiring harness and connections to the Rack and Pinion causing the power steering to freak out and jerk the sheen all over the place and then cut out while driving.
EcoFlow unit wires crimped, may be inadequate on size of wire from alternator to EcoFlow unit . Leading to overheating and potential fire danger .

On December 23, 2025, a 2023 RAM ProMaster 2500 Van used as a commercial fleet delivery vehicle in [XXX] suffered an engine compartment fire. The vehicle was declared a total loss by the insurance carrier. At the time of the fire, the vehicle was subject to open Safety Recall 25V-720 / Manufacturer Recall 67C, issued by FCA US LLC for a defective cooling fan module with premature bearing wear and inadequate fuse protection on the 400W fan circuit — the exact defect identified as a known fire risk. No remedy was available at the time of the incident. The interim recall notification letter had been received but the vehicle could not be repaired as FCA had not yet developed or made available a fix. The vehicle was inspected by insurance representatives and declared a total loss. No warning lamps or prior symptoms were observed before the fire occurred, consistent with NHTSA's own warning that affected vehicles may fail suddenly with no prior dashboard alert. The component believed to have failed is the cooling fan module. It is unknown whether the component remains available for inspection as the vehicle has been transferred to the insurance carrier as part of the total loss settlement.

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 any codes. It has not been taken to a shop at this point. The dealer said over the phone that this is not a powertrain warranty because it is not engine or transmission. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance. There were warning lights on the panel when this happened but they didn't stay on. Checking the internet for answers I discovered that a power connection to the rack for power steering was getting corroded from not being sealed properly and water was entering the connection. Today I removed the black battery cable and checked on the connector to the rack myself and discovered the same issue many people are having. below is a photo from today January 9, 2026. The connector looks corroded and burnt. Why is this not a recall? This is not safe.
Power steering failure and tech said it was corrosion of wire harness and not considered a mechanical failure. Water had entered the power steering rack and harness. Pump and rack need to be replaced as well. Driving on highway and power steering gave out without warning. Had to pull to the side of the road. Safety at risk.
