A recall has been issued for 2014 to 2019 Ram ProMaster vans with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 due to transmission issues. The problem involves a potentially kinked transmission gear shifter cable that could lead to the vans moving unintentionally. The recall also warns that if the transmission shifter disconnects from the transmission, the vehicle may have problems shifting gears, with the actual gear position displayed on the instrument cluster. Further alerts such as "Vehicle Not in PARK" and "Door Ajar" will appear on the instrument cluster, along with audible chimes if the driver's door is opened while the transmission is not in PARK. Failure to address these warnings may result in unexpected vehicle movement, posing a risk of a crash without warning and possible harm to individuals outside the vehicle.
Typically, the transmission issues in Dodge Promaster vans stem from abrupt shifting between gears.
