Experiences dangerous stalling and loss of electrical power to engine during driving. This can cause a serious accident. This is specifically a symptom of one of the many recalls supposedly performed on this vehicle already. I believe the recall repair previously was not completed properly because I have experienced this 10 times in the past two weeks.

I had problem with the radiator fan, just get locked up and car begin to warming up, I call all dealers to buy new part, and all they gave me same answer, they have huge amount of back orders, will take 10 days to arrive, for me personally sounds weird how many cars have the same type of problem ate same time. I think needs investigation from you guys, thanks

The contact owns a 2016 Ram Promaster city van. While driving approximately 40 mph, the engine stalled and the speed decreased without warning. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the electronic stability control unit failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 2,500.
