Owner complaints11

STEERING

Owners report frequent power steering failures in the 2022 Ram Promaster, often linked to water intrusion in the steering connector or wiring harness. Typical symptoms include difficulty turning the steering wheel, aggressive jerking, and multiple warning messages such as "Service Power Steering" and "Service Hill Assist." These issues are commonly noted at mileages ranging from 21,000 to 80,000 miles. Some complaints describe the vehicle becoming difficult to control, particularly at higher speeds or when hitting bumps, posing potential safety risks. Buyers should be aware of the possibility of needing significant repairs like steering rack and wiring harness replacements.

Owner complaints7

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Owners of the 2022 Ram Promaster frequently report issues related to the electrical system, particularly involving the cooling fan module, which is linked to engine-compartment fires. Two incidents describe vehicles catching fire shortly after being parked, with no warning signs like burning odors or dashboard alerts prior to the event. Additionally, several owners mention problems with key programming and immobilizer modules, with one report indicating a potential software encryption issue. Other complaints include sliding doors triggering as open while driving and persistent battery drain within a few days, despite replacements. These issues often arise in vehicles that are a few years old, and the safety implications, particularly the risk of fire, are significant for prospective buyers to consider.

Owner complaints6

SERVICE BRAKES

Owners of the 2022 Ram Promaster frequently report issues with the service brakes, including automatic engagement of the electronic parking brake while in motion, complete brake failure, and unavailability of service parts. Complaints often describe brake pedals going to the floor, grinding noises, and vibrations, with some incidents occurring at highway speeds or during routine driving after several hours. Mileage varies, but one report mentions issues starting at less than 8,000 miles, while another notes a failure at 40,000 miles. Safety implications are significant, with at least one crash reported due to brake failure, and multiple owners describe their vehicles as undrivable. The lack of available replacement parts for critical brake components further complicates repairs and maintenance.

Severity signals: 1 crash, 0 fire, 0 injury reports

Owner complaints6

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Owners of the 2022 Ram Promaster frequently report issues with the vehicle's adaptive cruise control and traffic sign recognition systems. Commonly described symptoms include the vehicle automatically decelerating or braking harshly when it misinterprets speed limit signs, particularly when detecting lower speed limits from off-ramps or service roads. This unexpected braking occurs without driver input and can happen at highway speeds, which multiple owners note could pose a risk of rear-end collisions. Additionally, some owners mention that the speedometer and cruise control units occasionally switch between MPH and km/h upon starting the vehicle, although this issue is not associated with immediate safety risks. These problems are noted to occur repeatedly, often from the time of vehicle purchase, but specific mileage ranges are not consistently mentioned.

Owner complaints6

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

Owners report recurring issues with the Forward Collision Avoidance system in the 2022 Ram Promaster, with frequent mentions of the system becoming disabled or shutting down unexpectedly. Common symptoms include warning lights illuminating and the system failing to restart, often accompanied by error codes related to sensor blinding or camera faults. Complaints frequently describe unexpected braking, sometimes leading to loss of vehicle control, especially at highway speeds, posing significant safety risks. These problems appear to occur at various mileage points, with some issues reported as early as 59 miles and others around 30,000 miles. Buyers should be aware of these potential safety implications and the difficulty some owners face in obtaining effective repairs.

Owner complaints5

STRUCTURE

Owners of the 2022 Ram Promaster commonly report issues with the vehicle's structure, particularly concerning the sliding side door and windshield cowl. Complaints frequently mention that the sliding side door cannot be manually unlocked from the inside, posing a potential safety risk in emergencies. Additionally, multiple owners describe water intrusion problems where rainwater floods the engine bay due to a failing engine cowl, potentially affecting electrical components and headlights. These issues are noted from the outset of ownership, with no specific mileage range indicated, and are reported to occur in both the Promaster and RV models built on the Promaster chassis. Safety implications are highlighted, including concerns about evacuation delays and electrical failures.

Owner complaints3

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Owners of the 2022 Ram Promaster report issues related to tire pressure sensors and crankcase breather systems. Complaints frequently mention that tire pressure sensors function intermittently, with some owners attributing the issue to interference from factory window tint. Additionally, there is a report of a fault code 052E71 related to the crankcase breather valve, similar to issues noted in other vehicle brands, though no recall is currently in place. There are no specific mileage ranges or safety implications, such as crashes or loss of control, mentioned in the complaints. This information could be useful for potential buyers to consider the possibility of intermittent sensor performance and engine-related fault codes.

Owner complaints2

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

Owners of the 2022 Ram Promaster 2500 report issues related to a recall for the engine and engine cooling system, specifically citing delays in the availability of parts required for the recall repair. Complaints frequently mention that manufacturers have exceeded a reasonable timeframe for addressing the recall, although owners have not reported experiencing any failures themselves. No specific symptoms, mileage ranges, or safety implications such as crashes or fires are described in the complaints. This information is particularly relevant for used car buyers who may want to verify the completion of recall repairs before purchase.
