Bought a brand new 2019 Ram 1500 laramie sport w/ hemi. during test drive, when the gear shift know was moved from Park to Drive, the transmission did not switch into drive. had to rev the engine to approx 1500 and the transmission then switched, and lurched truck as it started to move. Sales guy said its ok and the computer just needs to "learn". I have had the same issue after i purchased. this is not a consistent problem, but happens probably 2 to three times per week. took the truck in for service with less than 900 miles on it, per dealer, no problem found. When i discussed with the service manager, he said that his new 2019 truck did the same thing until he got to about 200 miles. it went away. i picked up my truck on Wednesday, went to drive it on Sat, and it did it again. NOT HAPPY.
