AS SOON AS I TURNED ON THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH EVERY WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH - ABS, SEATBELTS, BATTERY, EPC, AND OTHERS ALL LIT UP AS WELL AS THE CRUISE CONTROL ON LIGHT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO A DEALER IN GRAND RAPIDS, MI K&M NORTHFIELD DODGE AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN A PART. HOW WILL I KNOW IF THE AIRBAG, SEATBELT AND ABS SYSTEM IS WORKING PROPERLY OR IF IT IS A FALSE ALARM? CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS PROMISED ME ANSWERS - AND A PART BUT AS OF THIS WRITING I HAVE NEITHER. I HESITATE TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR THESE ITEMS MAY NOT BE WORK…

I PURCHASED THE PROMASTER ON 7/17, ON 7/20 THE "REAR DOOR OPEN" MESSAGE SHOWED UP ON THE DASH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND LEFT IT THERE. AS OF TODAY 7/29 IT IS STILL NOT FIXED.

THAT WAS RESOLVED (SO THEY SAY) AND NOW THE BCM DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE MIDDLE S…

Owner report 10690640 · 2015-02-25 (February 25, 2015)
THIS VAN IS A DIESEL VAN WITH AND AUTOMATIC MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND HAS NO PARK FOR THE TRANSMISSION SO THE ONLY PARKING SYSTEM IS THE HAND BRAKE. YOU CANNOT SHUT OF THE VAN AND PUT IT IN GEAR TO STOP IT AS IT WILL STILL ROLL, THIS IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE FROM ROLLING IS THE HAND BRAKE. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE FIRST DROPPED BELOW 30 DEGREES THE PARKING BRAKE WHEN SET WILL NOT RELEASE. THIS IS NOT ALL BECAUSE NOW THE PARKING BRAKE WILL LOCK UP WHEN YOU TRY TO BACK UP EVEN WHEN NOT ENGAGED AND WILL…
