IN 2018 WE HAD A MAJOR RADIATOR PROBLEM, FAN, FLUID, HOSES ALL BLEW ALL OVER A CUSTOMERS DRIVEWAY. THIS WAS THE FINAL STRAW AFTER BEING STRANDED AND TOWED SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH ONLY 26K MILES ON THE TRUCK. FINALLY, RAISED ENOUGH FIGHT AND CALLED CHRYSLER/DODGE AND THEY OPENED A CASE AND FIXED PROBLEM. HERE WE ARE IN EARLY 2021 AND PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AGAIN, FAN NOT WORKING, HOSES BLOWING, LOSING FLUID, OVERHEATING.... THE VB-2 RECALL IS OUT THERE BUT MY TRUCK VIN IS NOT INCLUDED, HOWEVER, THE EXACT PART AND PROBLEM IS IN THE VEHICLE, NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. RECALL WAS NOT RECOGNIZED UNTIL NOV 2019. TRUCK HAS MAJOR TRANS PROBLEMS AT 20K, THAT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR, PLUS ALL OF THE RADIATOR PROBLEMS AND NOT SURE HOW TO GET ADDRESSED UNDER THE VB-2 RECALL. ALL DOCUMENTATION IS WITH ONE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRUCK IS THERE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF ANOTHER BLOWN HOSE AND FAN NOT WORKING AND OVERHEATING.

PURCHASED A NEW 2015 PROMASTER 2500 IN 2015 AND EXPERIENCE ENGINE PROBLEMS AFTER 2 YEARS. IN 2020 FUEL INJECTION AND ENGINE COOLER FAN ISSUES. EACH TIME THE LIGHT BULBS (HEADLIGHTS) ARE CHANGED THEY GO OUT WITHIN A FEW MONTHS. I'M SCHEDULED FOR A FEW RECALLS AND WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN FOR THE ENGINE COOLER FAN AND THE SHIFT CABLE. I WOULD NEVER BUY A DODGE RAM TRUCK AGAIN.
