What owners wrote
Ever since we brought this vehicle roughly a year ago, it was sent back for service 8 times with no significant improvement. There are potentially fatal issues including: the air bag lights are always on, turn signals function on and off periodically, the plate lights don't work even upon bulb replacement, electrical failure which LED to a bulb melting (see photo attached) . These issues pose serious and potentially fatal risks to our drivers and to the public.
My passenger side mirror is being folded in by the wind at 60 miles per hour. This is extremely dangerous as this is a cargo van and there are no windows to see if anyone is beside me. I cannot change lanes safely without that mirror working properly. I believe the issue is with the motor that folds the window in malfunctioning. I have owned three separate ram promasters and this is the third vehicle this has happened. This is extremely unsafe and should be recalled asap.
