2016 Ram ProMaster Engine

I purchase this car used from a dealer. the transmission failed at 87564 miles. i had the a new transmission installed. The gear box or shifter failed at 91231 miles. I had that repaired. The timing chain started to fail at 100432 miles. this issue would cause the car to stall randomly. This I feel is a safety issue. The car is not being driven for the cost of repair is out of my budget.

Dealer where I purchased vehicle said i have recall for both catalytic converters waited two months called back and they said they wanted to replace engine and i been waiting for a call back for 6 months

WE HAVE 3 RAM PROMASTERS AND ALL 3 HAVE AN OIL LEAK AT THE OIL COOLER, COSTING OVER $800 EACH TO HAVE REPAIRED. AGAIN, ALL 3 HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE RESULTING IN OVER $2,400 IN REPAIRS.

AT 75,000 MILES MY TIMING CHAIN BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. NO SIGNS BEFOREHAND IT JUST BROKE

A COOLING FAN STALL / SEIZURE EVENT COULD LEAD TO ELECTRICAL OVERLOADING OF THE FAN MOTOR POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN THE THERMAL DEGRADATION OF THE BRUSH HOUSING, WHICH MAY LEAD TO A VEHICLE FIRE. ON THIS RECALL I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY HAVE NOT FOUND A SOLUTION. I CALLED THE FCA NUMBER AND IT JUST HANGS UP BEFORE I CAN TALK TO SOMEONE

THERE HAS BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED TO ADDRESS AN OVERHEATING ISSUE IN FAN MOTORS. IT AFFECTS PROTESTERS WITH 3.0 L DIESEL OR 3.6 L GASOLINE ENGINES, WHICH OURS IS.THERE IS A HEIGHTENED RISK OF ENGINE FIRE, THEREFORE THEY HAVE ADVISED WE SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE VAN. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIX, AND WE ARE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OUR CHRYSLER DEALER THEY MAY HAVE THE FIX ENGINEERED IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2020. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS WE CAN'T DRIVE OUR VEHICLE.
