I have experienced multiple pocket & purse actuations of the door lock, unlock, panic & engine start with the keyfob on this truck and also my Grand Cherokee & Ram Pro Master van. On this day it auto started the engine in a closed garage and I just happened to catch it when I opened the man door to the garage from my home at bedtime to check if the rollup door was closed, since there is a doggy door in that door and the exhaust heat was so high it surely would have entered the house and my wife and I would not be here today. This is a major safety issue for this reason and also for the times when it unknowingly unlocks your car in a public place. We now have to keep the fobs in small plastic boxes to prevent this issue. I don't know about other manufactures but FMC needs to fix this.

Outer tie rod ends were not serviceable (no grease fittings). Replaced sway bar bushings and linkages. Equipment all appeared original. Bushings looked slightly worn (when inspected after removal) and linkages had excessive play. Replaced both upper and lower control arms as ball joints had excessive play and were not serviceable (no grease fittings). Was easier to replace the entire arms which came complete with new bushings and ball joints. Will save the old and order & replace with new parts for future service. Replaced spring insulator for lower control arms. One appeared OK, while the spring end had worn through the other. This is an often overlooked item when the front suspension is serviced. Replaced both driver and passenger side brake hoses due to the calipers having slipped out of my hands or falling off of the wire when securing to address other items for service. Did not wish to trust hoses that endures unnatural strain. Complete front end alignment after all other items had been serviced. Replaced EGR under warranty as this was replaced a year ago. The replacement part (BWD) includes a lifetime warranty. Replaced driver and passenger side wheel bearings. Symptoms: 1) groaning sound when vehicle slowed; 2) clanging sound when backing or slowly accelerating from a dead stop. Raised vehicle and performed wheel bearing check (grabbed each wheel and rocked back and forth). Wheels demonstrated play which indicates bearing failure.

replaced alternator AC was "repaired" 2020. Still doesn't work. Shut off door for vents has broken 8 times and seems irreparable because it's a stupid plastic part and it keeps breaking. Have replaced both batteries twice. The engine will probably keep running way longer than the body will last.
