What owners wrote
On november 24, 2017 the vehicle was placed in park using the mounted knob gear shifter. The driver was going to remove items from the bed of the truck into a bulk trash area in the driver's housing development. The bulk trash area is a 3-wall concrete dumpster hider, with no dumpster inside (as shown in picture). The passenger exited the vehicle prior to the driver exiting.
Bought truck as a cpo in may 2015, a month into ownership engine light came on, code p26ab, engine coolant bypass valve. Called the dealership and they were able to get me into a local dealership to check it out. Tech said they did not find anything, it must be an old code they did not erase. Then on 3/4/19 same code returned, p26ab. There has been a recall on 2013 ram for the same problem.
