    "xiggi,. Fool me once.. the promaster and sprinter are the only 2 that have a large enough cab for me or my wife to get in. we are in a rental ford but the driver area dont fit for us. sprinter 36k warranty is barely 3 months for us. the promaster is 100k warranty, about 9 or 10 months...

    Bigdogg, does your van require a restart to go back in gear, mine did till it broke gears; after rebuild trans and new computer it would jump out of 6th gear but shifting to N or M it would go back into gear. this went on for about 8k miles while 2 different dealers gave me the same story as...

    I have not been offered a buyback or replacement from FCA. I bought the diesel because I drive over 10k miles a month and just did not think the gas powered van would still be running after all the payments are made. Also the only guy I knew that had a gas van gets about 17 mpg. I'm getting 23.5...

    On Friday 29 July the dealer believed the van was repaired. After much pleading with FCA they covered the work. Initially they offered to only pay for parts and wanted me to pay for labor. A quick rundown of what was done: my transmission was rebuilt including a new reverse gear and new...

    How many miles on your Promaster

    The purpose of my question about mileage on a diesel is to learn if my transmission problems are isolated to my van or a pattern of issues on all diesel vans. My issues are jumping out of gear and/or not going into gear. This can create scary situations when the van jumps out of gear and will...

    I too have been through several headlights, I found that removing the whole headlight assembly gives better access to the bulb. Also putting the bulb in first, then the wire is best. Doing it that way ensures the bulb is not pointed crooked causing one headlight to be brighter than the other...

    I have 116,000 miles on my 2014 Diesel Promaster. I have had transmission issues at 58,000 miles and now again at 116,000 (58k again). I'm curious if there are any drivers/owners that have more miles on their diesel and if so what problems have you encountered. I bought my van new in July of...
