Went to dealer and they could not find any codes or TSBs. I think this is a safety issue.

@RSConsulting , yeah, I am hoping that folks are right that I just turned the shift knob too fast. Will be much more careful with this moving forward and hope it won't happen again.
My incident happened when I was nowhere near the shift knob. I was a few blocks away from my house - stopped for a stop sign - foot off brake, on gas - and it dropped out of drive.

Hasn't happened since...

Started the truck last night, put it in drive, drone to the end of the street to do a u turn. Put in reverse to get enough room to turn around. Put back into drive and all of a sudden the truck stopped moving. Felt like the truck dropped to neutral and the light about D in the shift know started blinking. Came to a full stop. Put into park and go back into Drive and everything went back to normal.
Has anyone experienced this?

1. Call dealer. Set up appointment.

2. Listen to the folks with more knowledge than me.

3. Charge up your battery. (I'm guessing...purely guessing...that you may have had a low voltage situation.)

4. Let the dealer deal with it.

5. Instead of doing 3, above, bring it to the dealer.

See a trend? ;)
