I purchased vehicle used on 2/14/2018. Carfax stated no outstanding recalls. After about one year, very occasionally, when shifting from park to drive, the gear would not engage until the process was repeated. Just recently, while highway driving, both "service engine" and "transmission" warning lights appeared on the dash. This was followed by a near total loss of power and an occasional stall. This obviously created a dangerous safety hazard for me and the other drivers in my area. I took the vehicle to the local ram dealership (peacock - bluffton, sc) and (after 5 days) was told I needed a new "transaxle range sensor wiring harness" ($700. +/-) and a powertrain software update (warranty). Some research revealed a recall by fiat-chrysler (8/2016) for the wiring harness - s55 / the federal safety agency 16v‑529. According to the dealer, fiat-chrysler will only honor this recall for a period of 2 years from date of issue. Further research revealed that the federal safety agency requires recalls be honored for a "reasonable" amount of time, suggesting that 10 years is "reasonable". This is day #8 as the vehicle remains in a bay at the dealership. I am looking from some guidance on how to proceed.

Van loses electrical power when driven and stalls. This is while driving on a city street go straight on the road. This is a off and on issue with this vehicle. It has been to the maintenance shop who could find anything nor codes. Suggested we take it to a dealer, they tell us the same thing. No codes and it drove fine with no issues. Well, I have had two different employees driving it and it has done the same thing a total of four times. It is a power issue as the clock/radio resets each time it happens! Dealership has only drove it for 10 minutes. It has stalled after we've used it 4-5 hours in the day.

Experiences dangerous stalling and loss of electrical power to engine during driving. This can cause a serious accident. This is specifically a symptom of one of the many recalls supposedly performed on this vehicle already. I believe the recall repair previously was not completed properly because I have experienced this 10 times in the past two weeks.

We own a 2015 ram promasters. While driving on the freeway at various speeds. Tech experienced a sudden loss of power. On the dash appeared a yellow check engine light and a red symbol ( ! ). A message read "service required - transmission service". As the tech attempted to exit the freeway, afraid that the van might stall with incoming traffic. He made a safe exit off the freeway. Pulled over, turned off ignition and was able to restart the car in hopes that the trouble would clear. The red symbol ( ! ) disappeared and power was restored. Was able to drive back to company.
