This van has been at a Dodge dealership shop for the same melted fuse box issues over 6 times and caught on fire last week while driving it back from the dealership to be used.
The vehicle is subject to two active safety recalls issued by the manufacturer, including a recall related to the rear backup camera system. The manufacturer has acknowledged the safety defects, but no remedy has been released for an extended period of time. The backup camera recall affects rear visibility while reversing, which poses a safety risk to the driver, passengers, pedestrians, and nearby vehicles. The backup camera intermittently fails or does not display an image as intended. The recall has been open for several months, and no estimated repair timeline has been provided by the manufacturer or dealer. I have contacted the dealer/manufacturer and was informed that no remedy is currently available. This vehicle is used regularly, increasing concern about continued operation with unresolved safety defects. The vehicle remains in service with known safety defects and no corrective action offered. This report is being submitted due to the prolonged delay...
Image on the backup camera is flipped. I checked online forums and it seems like this is a common problem without an adequate solution to make backing safe
So this is an Amazon delivery vehicle. The driver stuck his head out the drivers side window to get a better view when backing up, as his head was out the window he hit the window switch and instead of the window going down, it malfunctioned and went up instead, catching his neck and his entire head was stuck. Concerned citizens even tried getting inside the van and helping but when they tried to press the window button DOWN, it would only go up. (The wrong way) this resulted in almost having to break/smash the window
Radio system, navigation, backup camera and associated telematic system failure. The radio in the RAM Promaster functions as a control center for many safety functions. It intermittently fails while driving the RAM Promaster. It has been in multiple (4) times for service. Replaced on 6/24/2021. Problem reoccurred on 8/12/2021. No solution at this time from Fiat - Chrysler (FCA). This is a problem that may be internal and does not report buss data. Safety put at risk with no camera functions or communications.
