Why these checks: what owners reported

NHTSA complaints for the 2024 Ram ProMaster, grouped by the part owners named. Open a row to read what goes wrong.

  • Electrical2No crashes

    The engine and dashboard shut off without warning while driving, and the van comes to a near-immediate stop instead of coasting. No warning lights appear first, and one report describes repeat shutoffs at different speeds in under 10,000 miles. A second report describes a different pattern: the driver's console and dash display go completely dark at highway speed and come back a few functions at a time after about 10 seconds. Some mirror and emergency-assist lights then stay on until restart. Both reports describe repeat events. A sudden stall in traffic is a real crash risk.
