I have a 2016 Ram 3500 and it has started to hang up in park. Even on level ground. I was at a gas station and I couldn't get it out of park. I was finally able to get it out of park by shutting the engine off. Put it to run and shift it to neutral. Restarted the engine and it would come out of park. Has any of you had this problem and if so what did you find.

Hello blackhammer,

I've just recently started having this problem with mine. 09 1500, and it's only intermittent. Did you find a solution to yours?

Wonder if there is a problem with the solenoid that was part of the recall. Mine was a little touchy this morning. Will need to watch for problems.

Becoming more common, if your in a safe place, video it and take it to the dealer and have send it to Ram.
