2022 Ram Promaster electrical problems

Filed Oct 21, 2026 · Electrical, Steering · TX

Complete loss of electric power steering assist while driving. On[XXX] in Austin, TX, the power steering began acting up at approximately 45 mph, then fully gave out at about 10 mph while parking, and I could no longer steer the vehicle. No crash or injury occurred, but losing steering at road speed put me and others at serious risk of a crash. Prior symptom: about 45 days earlier (early September 2026), the steering wheel jerked randomly while driving. Warning lamps: UNKNOWN. The vehicle was taken to Covert Dodge Ram (Ram dealer, Research Blvd, Austin, TX), which confirmed the failure and identified the electric power steering wiring jumper harness between the EPS gear and the EPS module as the cause. This matches open recall 26V‑621 (FCA 92D), which shows on this VIN as 'remedy not yet available.' Because no remedy is available, the dealer is asking me to pay for the repair and seek reimbursement from FCA. The vehicle is not safe to drive until repaired. Failed parts can be made available for inspection on request. Mileage approximately 103,000. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Since new the roof has leaked water. Brought to dealer two times. Both times they put type of sealer that only workd for a few months then the second just a few days. The sealer they used second time was white (our vehicale is blue) .had to bring to a body shop to repair and pay out of pocket. We had issues not being able to turn off the engine within the first year and had tio pull the fuel pump fuse to shut down eventually dealer was able to repair the coolant resovoir sprang a leak within the 2nd year and we replaced out of pocket. The passenger side window actuator broke, had fixed at dealer then it broke a week later, had dealer repair again. The windshield cowl leaks rain water into and onto the motor. There is a recall open now for power steering with no remedy and was told to keep driving it even if we are not compfortable knowing the steering can go out any moment. Brought to dealer and they claim they dont know what to do and didnt offer a rental. The steering has not failed yet every owner we speak with on the road and online has had all the same exact issues. We only have recepts for coolant and roof repairs

We had the battery die about 2 weeks ago. We replaced that. Then this week the power steering just went out. The vehicle has no power steering. The mechanic "thinks" the power steering control module is bad but he cannot be sure till he replces it.

I am reporting a severe, intermittent loss of Electronic Power Steering (EPS) assist on a 2022 Ram ProMaster cargo van at ~21,000 miles. The defect causes sudden drops in steering assistance and erratic wheel-jerking under heavy electrical loads during rapid, low-speed turns while parking.A professional dealer teardown and inspection at Dutch Miller Ram confirmed that environmental rainwater from the windshield cowl completely breached the factory weatherproofing seals. Standing liquid was found pooling inside the bottom floor of the connector housing, causing severe copper oxidation (galvanic corrosion) and visible electrical arcing on a constantly energized 12V male pin inside the EPS gear cylinder. This high-current bottleneck drops voltage under load, causing the internal ECU to cut assist as a safety fail-safe.Critically, this design defect created an immediate, progressive cascading failure dating back to the very first month of ownership. Because this 12V power line remains constantly "hot" while parked, the pooling water established an un-metered short-circuit bridge directly to the frame ground. This forced an aggressive parasitic electrical drain that repeatedly flattened the battery after sitting for short two-week intervals throughout its lifespan, destroying the original factory battery.The dealer's safety protocol requires a complete steering rack replacement. However, because Ram recognized this vulnerability, they completely superseded the part with a redesigned assembly that forces consumers to purchase new, non-faulty tie rod assemblies just to make it compatible, inflating costs to over $6,000. This data directly supports the active the federal safety agency investigation into 2022-2023 ProMaster steering modules. Furthermore I imagine that since some people may continue to drive the vehicle under this particular condition of "barely being affected" until there is sudden failure on the highway or zero signs prior to catastrophic failure. I STILL OWE $ ON THIS VEHICLE

While driving, the power steering stopped and basically locked up the steering wheel almost causing an accident. At the same time, multiple warnings flashed on the dash. After restarting, the vehicle operated as should until the following day when it occurred again and we had to have it towed to the dealership. Water intrusion and corrosion damaged a wiring harness and rack and pinion. The cost to repair was $5200. The dealership we use is Diehl Automotive. 6181 Steubenville Pike, McKees Rocks, PA 15136. They told me this is the 12th van they've had this happen to. They told me to report this incident since it is a safety hazard and the vehicle is only 4 years old.

This van has a camper made in it by Thor Twist and sold by Camping World in Arkansas. We bought it to travel around the country we retire. What a nightmare. We have a granddaughter who lives with us and goes camping with us most of the time. We also have a handicapped daughter who also travels with us sometimes. She has never been able to walk. What if the van catches on fire while she is with us? My wife and I are in our mid [XXX] . We have been losing sleep thinking about this The people we bought it from said it’s not their responsibility, same as Thor Twist. They say it’s a chassis problem and we need to call Chrysler Corporation. I called the Chrysler Corporation the Dodge dealership near our location.

My vehicle is subject to Safety Recall 67C for an engine-compartment fire risk involving the cooling fan module and inadequate fuse protection. I contacted an authorized Ram dealership and Stellantis corporate. Both confirmed that the recall is open and that no repair remedy is currently available. Stellantis has confirmed in writing (Case #95056397) that there is no interim safety solution available for affected owners while this recall remains unresolved. This vehicle is my primary residence. Stellantis has offered rental reimbursement, but this does not provide a safe or realistic interim solution for a vehicle that functions as both transportation and housing. The manufacturer has acknowledged a fire risk but has provided no interim safety guidance or accommodation for owners who cannot reasonably stop using the vehicle while awaiting a remedy. I am reporting this as a safety concern due to the lack of a remedy and the absence of interim safety guidance for affected owners. Stellantis has issued a stop-sale on affected vehicles, confirming the seriousness of the defect, while existing owners remain without a viable safety alternative.

Less than a half mile into my work day the van started flashing all warning lights ( Hill assist, power steering, service engine, abs ETC.) I was on a busy road and was attempting to pull off to safety But the van turned off. Was able to jump it after 2 attempts and get it to the dealer 1 mile away, without any other lights coming back on aside from CEL. Dealer informed me I have 2 Corroded wiring harnesses, bad rack & Pinion and alternator is at 7%.... From what I've heard, this is a problem that could have been prevented by the manufacturers.. I also had a Transmission replacement at 30k miles and full Engine replacement at 55k miles. Currently at 80k Miles... This is Unacceptable for a Commercial fleet vehicle.

Sudden failure of the power steering system. Vehicle became very difficult to steer, lucky no other cars or pedestrians were in the area. Per the dealer water entered the wiring harness and entered the power steering module causing it to fail. When the power steering failed, warning messages began appearing on the dash, which included "hill assist needs service", "ECS needs service", "FWC system needs service" and "Engine needs service".
