Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ram promaster city. While driving various speeds during the day, the instrument panel gauges were not visible without warning.

I want to complain about a company vehicle which I drive - it is a 2017 ram promaster city - while talking to other drivers we share the same problem. We don't know how fast we are going since the speedometer is to dark!!! Nobody cares!!!!
Sliding door on the passenger side unlatches while driving .no logical connection to driving speed or bumpy road . Happened twice while driving in the city around 30 MPH and ones on interstate around 60 MPH .service department did two attempts to recreate the issue by driving the car about 90 miles but it didn't happen while in service dpt .
My van had a recall involving the cooling fan, it was repaired. At approximately 25,000 I had a check engine light, the dealer says it's the thermostat needing replaced ($588.00!!!??? At under 26,000 miles???!!!) the temp gauge always sits right at the halfway mark, this can't be right but they said that's to be expected.
