Don't waste your time or money!!

By Dillion written on Feb 5, 2016

I bought a 2015 Promaster 2500 hight roof.. Test drove it, thought it was great ,I fell in love with the cargo space..Two days driving it the brakes were making grinding noise and at 5,000 miles later the airbag light kept coming on and off .. At 52,000 miles my engine my blow.. It was in the shop 20 times!! Lost money couldn't work for weeks because the Dodge dealer took forever trying to fix it.. They never found the problem why the airbag would come on and off and why the brakes keep making noise.. Had a get a lemon lawyer so dodge could buy it back ...which they did..

Terrible, run fast!

By Tom written on Mar 3, 2016

This is total junk! Aside from rust everywhere, everything is inconvenient and must be designed as poorly as possible. I hate driving this van and would rather drive anything from the 80's! Aside from ridiculous understeer, the tires wear out every 12k due to poor design. I don't think they could have designed this whole thing worse if they tried. Why is the oil filter in the most inaccessible place possible? Can't remove the keys if the battery dies? Radiator leak at 40k miles? Totally not designed for anyone higher than 5' tall.

Can hear me coming a mile away

We purchased the promaster for route work , usually making 10 or so stops a day. After about 1000 miles we started getting the front brakes squealing like a pig and a grinding noise while almost coming to a stop. We thought it would stop eventually but at 4000 miles i couldn't stand it anymore and brought it back to the dealer. I told them about the issue and they said they would check it out. When i went back they said the brakes were working as designed and there was nothing else they could do. Piss poor excuse in my book dodge... Wont buy another one..

Doubled My Fuel Economy

By Randy D. written on Sep 18, 2015

The front wheel drive is excellent in the snow. I went through the Rockies twice last winter. I made it through all the passes without any problems. The low floor height reduces drive delivery fatigue. The fuel economy has been excellent! I went from averaging 9.8 MPG in my Chevy Express to 19.8 MPG in the Promaster. I notice that it took about 8,000 miles to break in the engine and achieve high fuel economy numbers. My van is my business, so I want the most value for the money and the Ram Promaster is the right choice!

New Promaster, Run away, just Run away.....

By Tony written on Mar 14, 2017

Promaster concept is great! I fell in love with it for what I do. I own a fleet of expedite vehicles and they pile the miles on in a hurry. You can see that I scored it fairly high in most areas but had to give it a 1. Mainly because it should score a -8 on value and maint. costs. front brakes on a 2015 with 55k miles. Dealer told me it is $1000.00 bucks for rotors, "special order" retainer clips and brake pads. $1000 for front brake job? I have a 2016 with 100k on it and 2015 with 55k. The 2016 will need a complete top end rebuild, it is a gas engine and sounds like a diesel. I use full synthetic every 7500 miles. Headlight replacement very prematurely, several times. Automatic engine brake engages automatically on very slight decline causing an already under reliable engine to rev up to the point of failure. If you have a plumbing business or you are an electrician and need a van for 15k miles a year, and have a back up vehicle for shop times, this would be a great van. If you truly need a commercial grade vehicle and depend on it for your livelihood, this is definitely not it. Body parts are nearly impossible to find as it is assembled in Turkey or somewhere over there. Don't take my word for it, call a body shop and ask about repairing a Promaster van. I also have 2 Chevy cutaway vans and they both have over 130k miles and run like a top! (2) Ford Transit Vans. They are not setting any records but still light years ahead of where the Promaster is. Lastly, what does Ram do to help new customers with their quality problems you might ask? They lower the warranty from 2015 100k miles powertrain warranty to 2016 60k miles powertrain warranty. Oh, the Ram truck will still have the 100k powertrain, but not the $41,000 "commercial" van.
