2014 Ram Promaster Cargo Van 2500 High Roof 3dr Van w/159" Wheelbase (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
I'm a fleet owner, 2 months after buying brand new, I did 35 k highway miles and loads under 700 lbs I have to replace the brakes , 2100$ at sherman in chicago (skokie) loosing coolant , power steering fluid , problems with the door, in the same business I had to replace brakes on a sprinter after 200 k not 30 k miles and this is more expensive than a mercedes when it comes to the … brakes
Never ending problems

Where do I start.... Bought new. Transmission gave out after 1 year of service covered by warranty but took 2 months to fix. Was told the pump was bad and they had to order over and over again because if the pump came to the dealership as a 2014 they would trash and reorder until they received a 2015 pump. Thought that was strange but I took it as the 2015 part was improved. I find … myself having to replace the headlight bulbs every 5 to 6 months for some reason. Had a tick in the motor after 3 years. Ram did cover the labor but the expence of the cam shaft was on me. Currently I am replacing the ball joint on the right side twice in the last 6 months which when the ball joint goes it rips the 450.00 CV axel in half. So after labor that's 1200 repair back to back not to mention had it come apart on the highway the vehicle could have flipped. I'm lucky to be alive. I called commercial Dept for Ram and no help. It's time to trade in but my next van won't be a Ram.
I loved it until the transmission fell out...

Transmission mount broke at 28,000 miles, Chrysler said mount is not covered under Limited Warranty. Dealership did cover it though, I got lucky. Brakes and struts bad at 30,000. Trans-axle bad at 31,000 miles. When it rains it pours with this mistake of a Van. It probably was a decent van until Chrysler got a hold of it.
Update:
After all the work has been done on the van the breaks … still aren't right. It's running good though and people say it's a great looking van. It's comfortable, good acceleration for a v6 and hope it last me a while. If I had it to do over again I probably would have gone with the Ford, possibly the Nissan.
Update:
2 years from original review and van has been dependable. No problems at all.
Update:
4 years later and van has been a workhorse. Breaks still rattle over bumpy roads. Nobody including dealership can fix it. It stops on a dime though and turning radius is better than Sprinter and Ford it seems. Uturns are a breeze. I have about 160000 miles on her now.
Stress

The headlights have to be changed every 1to 2 months, I have the diesel engine which works great. the transmission never wanted to work below 10 degrees. Many mornings, waiting an hour or more for the transmission to warm up so you could go. You knew it was warmed up when the van would jump into gear so you had to put block in front and back of tires never sure which way it would go. … Many many computer problems. The dealerships don't care and don't have qualified people to work the promaster or diesel. Great van to drive when it works but not worth the stress of all the problems and lost money when the customer cancels because it doesn't want go.
