Shifting out of park

@Jcrawford wow, i've never had a more complete and thorough explanation than that! thanks very much!
the videos are awesome, thanks again!
 
I had the same issue on my 2020 and now my 2021 also does it, it's happened twice in 1100 miles on the new truck. No rhyme or reason. I was also parked on flat ground for both of these instances. Hold the brake down, release and reapply, doesn't work. After 15-20 seconds it just finally goes into gear.

Did you try in to leave it in neutral with no break before reapplying the break and then parking? If you ever get the the point where you can replicate it on demand and get it in front of a dealer I would be really curious about what they say.

When this happens the shift lever will not move, it gets locked in Park. And I have no idea yet how to replicate it, maybe I'll pick up on something the more this happens.
 
2019 Ram 2500 Diesel Limited -if I keep my foot on brake with engine idling in Park the shifter will not move out of Park until I keep my foot off the brakes for 5-10 seconds.This has been a problem since the truck was new, I now have 40,000 miles on it, out of warranty. Any others still have this issue?

I still have my original issue. Yours sounds a bit different to though.

My concern is that eventually the truck will not come out of park and Ill be stuck somewhere with my truck in park with my trailer hooked up.

There is a way to bypass the park lock out like if for instance if your truck needs towed and can’t start. It’s detailed earlier in this thread so at least you can move it if worse comes to worse

Are you referring to a lever in/on the steering column you mentioned in an earlier post?
 
Ok,ty. I never had the dealer address this warranty issue because I had a few warranty issues and I wasn't too impressed with the ability of them to fix things correctly in addition to loosing the truck for a few days each time it went into the dealer shop.
 
Yeah feel the exact same about the dealer “warranty” it’s been a major pia for me too. I’ve been on the list for the cp4 issues since the day you could sign up. Not even had a call. And they refuse to do any of the other recall work until that’s done
 
Mine hasn't done it in a while but if I recall correctly, if i take my foot off the brake while in Park...tap the gas pedal lightly and then reapply the brake, it will come out of park.
