Ram ProMaster 2500 reliability by year
Each year is complaints filed in that year’s first 3 years on the road, divided by however many of those years have passed. A model year younger than 3 years is too early to compare, so it is left out of the years named as having the fewest or the most complaints. Recalls are a separate count. The numbers are for the US-market Ram ProMaster 2500. How we count.

Known issues for this generation
Recall 20V-036 covers certain 2014-2019 Ram ProMaster vehicles with 3.6L engines: the transmission shifter cable may separate from the transmission so intended shifts do not occur and the lever position may not match the actual gear; dealers replace the shift cable. Recall 25V-720 covers certain 2018-2026 Ram ProMaster vehicles where the radiator-fan electrical circuit may overheat, increasing fire risk; dealers replace the cooling-fan module and fuse. Campaign unit totals can include ProMaster 1500/3500 and upfitter variants.
