2017 Ram Promaster: check engine light

Filed Feb 20, 2024 · Engine · AZ

Both cams need to be replaced. Upon doing internet research and talking with the service advisor this is a very commom problem and recalls have been done on other years but not 2017. Henry Miller Dodge Ram is where my vehicle is currently at and who advised the issues at hand. The check engine light comes on and computer shows misfire.

Was not notified that my Ram Promaster 2017 needed two recalls when purchasing it from an official Ram dealership in 2020 with 35k miles on it. Now, at 90k miles I'm having to replace a radiator and cables that failed as a result of the coolant fan being replaced. Took it to two separate shops (first shop couldn't lift it) which both confirmed that my radiator experienced failure and caused electrical faults including blowing a 60amp fuse because this part was not replaced. I never was notified by Ram over the phone regarding this issue or from the dealership I purchased it from. Now, I'm having to pay a lot out of pocket to repair these parts (because I can't get my vehicle into any Ram dealership in the area for over a month) and having a third party, high quality mechanic do the repairs instead. I had to also pay to have the vehicle towed to the shop at my own expense as the vehicle had the check engine light on and was deemed by the first mechanic to not be safe to drive. I will upload files of the repair costs once the repairs are complete. $315 tow, $300 in diagnosing fees that won't be covered, and $1600 out of pocket for repairs is what I'm looking at. If I didn't have a 3rd party extended warranty, it would cost me close to $5k for repairs.

The etc warming light will come on and the van will decrease power momentarily , I usually pull over, turn the engine off and then back on. That light goes out and then the check engine light will come on and stay on. After several starts and stops the check engine light goes out. Dealer fixed it last week but the red flashing lights came on again as well as the check engine light.

Had the van serviced per the recall for the engine cooling fan issue. Took to the dealership I purchased from. After driving away from the dealership and getting about 50 miles down the road the service engine light came on. I could never get ahold of the dealership again. Don jackson in atlanta. They would never return calls. I took to another dealership and they say it's the engine cooling fan relay is shot. I did not have this problem before.

I had the cooling fan assembly replaced due to a noise and noticeable heat coming from the engine at 68262 miles. I later received a letter stating fca was doing a recall on this engine component. Approximately 7,000 miles or a month and a half later, I was getting a engine vibration and got a check engine light come on. I did a diagnostic scan and it said misfire in cylinder 2. I took the vehicle into the dealership and they informed me that it was the cylinder head that was bad and would have to be replaced. I asked them if the cooling fan recall would have caused this but they said no immediately. My vehicle has now sat at the dealership because they cant find parts to even repair this issue. They will not confirm if this is a common problem but this must be a huge problem if they cant even find parts any where to have it repaired. This vehicle is just a little past its warranty and should be covered due to the fact it was a recall issue that more than likely caused the cylinder head failure. The last time I received a email from fca was two weeks ago and they stated that there is still no eta on when parts will be available to repair my vehicle. I believe this is a huge safety issue if their recall issue is causing further damage and causing the engines to over head to cause cylinder head failure.

Cooling fan 3 bearing failed 1 year after purchase, p0482 p0696 cel came on, no tsb's no recalls, no information on wiring diagrams available. Replaced fans with new fans and all relays and shroud and sensors, not under warranty, now fans don't work at all, cel still on 696 and 482 even after reset. Countless google search results with same problem. Feels like this should be a recall.
