There is a defect in the engine electrical system that keeps burning parts out like light bulbs, engine coil packs, & dash components. The suspension in the rear squeeks so badly that you have to wear ear plugs to drive it. The engine smells of antifreeze leaking all the time and the breaks squeal and grind... Our dealer tries to fix things but keeps telling us that dodge has not come up with a fix for my problems as of yet. Dealer refuses to document repair attemps and gives us no paperwork!
I purchased the promaster on 7/17, on 7/20 the "rear door open" message showed up on the dash. I took it to the dealer and left it there. As of today 7/29 it is still not fixed. According to the service manager at safford dodge in warrenton, va, the "bcm", basic control module is the problem. Dodge has sent two regional technicians to try to solve the issue which is software related. After the "rear door open" message was fixed an "ABS" message appeared on the dash. That was resolved (so they say) and now the bcm does not recognize the middle seat of the dual passenger seat configuration. They have tried multiple times to reprogram the bcm but it is not working.
