2015 Ram Promaster City Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“I purchased vehicle used on 2/14/2018. Carfax stated no outstanding recalls. After about one year, very occasionally, when shifting from park to drive, the gear would not engage until the process was repeated. Just recently, while highway driving, both service engine and transmission warning lights appeared on the dash. This was followed by a near total loss of power and an occasional stall. This obviously created a dangerous safety hazard for me and the other drivers in my area. …”

“Car was hesitating when starting from a stop. Once in a while the car would jerk back or forward. While driving the check engine light came on and I lost power. The car would only go about 5 MPH. Brought back to dealer where he checked the light code and came back as transmission sensor issue. Dealer reset the code and I was ok for a week. Code came back on while driving. Brought back to dealer and they said they would update the software. After about a week the code came back again. …”

In one instance, this happened while I was encountering vehicles entering and exiting a highway ramp.

This occurred two more times before I could get the vehicle to the service department. …”

“Van loses electrical power when driven and stalls. This is while driving on a city street go straight on the road. This is a off and on issue with this vehicle. It has been to the maintenance shop who could find anything nor codes. Suggested we take it to a dealer, they tell us the same thing. No codes and it drove fine with no issues. Well, I have had two different employees driving it and it has done the same thing a total of four times. It is a power issue as the clock/radio resets each time it happens! Dealership has only drove it for 10 minutes. …”

“Driving down the road at 30mph the check engine light came on again 1 week after dealer fixed the transmission valve body and sensor. This is an on going issue since june of this year. Car has been repaired 4 times and still having issues. When the light comes on the car loses power. When gas pedal is pressed there is no response. The RPM matches the speed”
