My 2021 Ram Laramie 1500 has an intermittant no start issue. It seems to be related to the transmission selector knob.
When I have this no start issue happens, I have to wiggle this knob around and after a while I seemed to find the "sweet spot" and the truck starts right up.

Does any one else has this problem? I have mentioned this to the dealership garage and they seemed to not have heard of this problem and could not diagnose it.

This does not happened very often, but when it happens, it is very frustrating. I hoping that others out there that have this problem could give me some remedy that will fix this.

I have not had this issue, but I have noticed that if I don't drive the Truck for 3 or more days, It does not start immediately and the push button start has a dead feel. I usually have to push it a few times before the electronics engage. I am wondering if I need to check the gear selector. Sometimes it seems it does not fully engage park when you stop and do the quick flip. Need to slow down and ensure it is in park. I will follow up if I can determine that your issue applies to mine.
