Just received this message today in my 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie, along with many other messages. My ECM has been dropping several other messages on the instrument cluster. I have video and photos (see attached). I pulled the instrument cluster and checked it out, seems ok. Took it to the dealer last year....they "reprogrammed all modules". Didn't fix it. Got my money back after I added dielectric grease to the ECM terminals, which fixed it for about a year. The issue is back this fall, and now with the Shift to P message. I've read the "solution" about a dirty throttle body. Nah, can't be that. I replaced the battery, checked the grounds, reset the fuses. No change. I think it's the ECM going out due to high temp. I shot the heat sink surface of the ECM and the temperature ranged from 210F to 240F.

This is an inconceivable issue to have on a modern day vehicle and IS EXTRAORDINARILY DANGEROUS. I filed an NHTSA report a few days ago. Once I get this resolved, I'm getting rid of this vehicle and NEVER buying another DODGE/RAM/CHRYSLER vehicle again. This is inexcusable.

Wouldn't let me attach the video.

You need to upload it to you-tube and post a link to it here.

Hey everyone.

I have a 2019 Ram four-door with approx. 44k miles. I had it for about 6 months when I got this alert for the first time. I was coming to a stop light, and the truck dings at me, gives me the error code "Shift to P then Desired Gear" and shifts itself into neutral. Once I come to a stop, I can then put it back into Drive and continue driving. This only happened once then so I let it slide at a quirk. (see picture below of notification)

Fast forward to now. The error code comes up at least 4 times per week, sometimes multiple times in a day. Always happens when I'm coming to a stop. I do notice that the truck seems to shift very hard when accelerating from a full stop or slowing to stop. It's going into the shop on Monday to get this looked at, but has anyone else experienced this? I'm assuming it's a transmission issue.

My nephew was mowed down and killed by the drive by wire transmission system it dropped down from park and into drive and accelerated during this crazy maneuver,it had been shifting from reverse to drive and other patterns on itself,he was standing in front of the Dodge 3500 bucket truck and died from this defective transmission system, we're still in disbelief and total shock and it's crazy how this could happen, he leaves behind a 9 year old daughter and this system dodge is using it dangerous and deadly, I'm going to the memorial service today and try wrap my head around this nightmare
