My passenger side mirror is being folded in by the wind at 60 miles per hour. This is extremely dangerous as this is a cargo van and there are no windows to see if anyone is beside me. I cannot change lanes safely without that mirror working properly. I believe the issue is with the motor that folds the window in malfunctioning. I have owned three separate ram promasters and this is the third vehicle this has happened. This is extremely unsafe and should be recalled asap.

Issues with our 2014 promaster started in 2016. Inserted key to start it and it wouldn't start. Key was locked in ignition. Towed to dodge service center and they had it 3wks. They replaced many parts including PCM board, shifter assembly, and many others. The same issue happened in 2017 and twice in 2018. Different service measures were taken. Today I was getting gas at speedway, jumped back into vehicle and the entire electrical system was dead! Had to have it towed. Since the dodge dealership couldn't fix it the other 4 times, I had it towed to an independent. I'm hoping they can resolve this serious issue. We're a non-profit and can ill-afford to run out and get another truck. I see many, many complaints concerning 2014 electrical issues. Why hasn't this vehicle been recalled? By the way, we have less than 5,000 miles on this truck since it's used sparingly.

I was parked in a lot with the engine running and the check engine light came on (solid, not flashing so I assumed it was ok to drive). After I started moving a bit, the temperature gauge red-lined. I parked and let it cool off. When I started driving again, the cel was on but the temp was normal and stayed normal until I reversed into my driveway...at which point the gauge redlined again and the pressure release on the coolant tank tripped and coolant started shooting everywhere. I took it into the dealer and they confirmed that it was a fan control module that needs replacement. Of course the module is on indefinite backorder from their warehouse. They said they can get one from o'reilly but I would have to pay the difference myself which was about $200. After reading reports online, it appears that this is a common failure on ram promasters with no resolution or recall. Reports indicate that there are thousands of vehicles waiting on this part.
