   Over time the transmission cooling line to the radiator was rubbing against another part in the engine compartment resulting in a hole in the line and eventually catastrophic failure of the line. This caused transmission fluid to be sprayed around the engine compartment and the roadway creating an environmental issue. This could cause loss of power, fire and damage to the environment. Online other users of same make model and year have reported the same issue.

   DTC C0020-01 appeared after hitting a speed bump along with service TCS and ABS system. This message is displayed sometimes at random but mostly during common bumps in the road. Any wheel spin during wet weather also creates the message. Contacted the local Chrysler deal and was informed this was common and to report it. I have yet to spend money to fix the issue since finding that the wrong part is often replaced and I am no longer under warranty.

   Hi, I own a 2013 Dodge Ram 2500 and the door locks do not lock all the time. The concern here is that when I have children in the truck the child safety locks do not lock and to me this is a concern. I had the door lock actuators replaced and that still didnt fix the problem. After doing research, there is a body control module that controls all electrical functions to the interior of the truck. If you use a scan tool and clear any codes in the module the door locks work perfectly for about 5-6 start cycles. The part #68200252AG is not available through mopar and has no replacement part number that supersedes the old one. Other item to note is this part number is the 6th updated revision. There is something wrong here and Mopar doesnt seem to care.

   Front passenger door and both rear door locks operate intermittently. . Doors will unlock with key fob or either front door buttons or front door handles; but they will intermittently lock with key fob or front door buttons or while in drive. Doors not locking keep child safety locks from engaging and children being able to exit vehicle without being in park. Also, prevents vehicle from being securely locked and protecting from theft of items. Truck been to dealership and told of problem they checked but could only get it to replicate issue 2 times and found nothing causing the problem. I have also found multiple Ram forums with a lot of people with same issue. There haven't been any warning lamps or messages before or during issues. The problem is intermittently and has last anywhere from a couple of days to several months at a time.

    THE TRACK BAR MOUNTS HAVE ALL THE WELDS CRACKED AND IT CAUSES THE TRUCK TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED TWICE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I SEE THAT FCA CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM R46, MY TRUCK FALLS WITHIN THE MODEL AND YEARS BUT FOR SOME REASON IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE IN A VIOLENT AND UNCONTROLLABLE MANNER ALL THE CARS AROUND ME SLAMMED THEIR BRAKES TO STAY AWAY. I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE DOWN TO 20 MPH WHEN THE SHAKING STOPPED. I PULLED OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE TO EXAMINE MY TRUCK AND NOTICED THE CRACKED WELDS ON THE TRACK BAR MOUNT. I NEED TO HAVE THIS FIXED UNDER THE RECALL AS THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM FOR MY SELF AND MY FELLOW DRIVERS I SHARE THE ROAD WITH.
