A bad ground. There is no part number, they fixed the ground.@bfcollins, can you post a PDF of your dealer invoice that shows the part number?
I had wondered if something like that could happen. There must be some kind of sensor, that tells if the truck is moving, to prevent it, but if that sensor is bad...... All vehicles seem to be going to electronic shifters. ( Except the HDs. They still use column shift.)My 2019 Dodge Ram Limited started malfunctioning, causing me to wreck when the shifter unexpectedly went into park while I was driving. The brakes locked up, making the truck slide, and by the time it switched back, I was already sliding off the road. (It had just rained and the roads were wet.)
I contacted the dealership about the issue four times prior to the accident. The body shop repaired the truck, but the shifter problem persists. The dealership claims the issue stemmed from the wreck, despite my explanation that it caused the wreck. They are currently attempting to fix it, but they still haven't identified the root cause.
I switched dealerships because the first one seemed incompetent. I'm hopeful that the current dealership's technicians will be able to solve the problem. Fingers crossed.

Ram gassers are 8 speeds, Cummins will get 8 speeds next yearExcept the HDs. They still use column shift.
Is that the reason for the column? Will they be dial? Some people don't like the dial, but I love it.Ram gassers are 8 speeds, Cummins will get 8 speeds next year
Column shift is due to the trans type and new 8 speeds will be electronic shift, I assume dial.Is that the reason for the column? Will they be dial? Some people don't like the dial, but I love it.
Not sure if this is the same issue you guys are having but I had a similar issue with my 2017 Cherokee. Prindle would randomly light up and say service shifter. I would have to pull over and put the car into park shut it off to cycle it and then turn it back on. That worked until it didn’t and I took it in to the dealer to fix it, I was still within my 36000 mile warranty so it was fixed with no charge. This was awhile go but if I remember correctly they replaced the transfer case wiring harness and I never had the issue again.Anyone figure out how to fix this yourself? I figured it was a bad electrical connection. Mine is getting worse. It used to be every few weeks. Now it is every time I drive.
