Truck rolling backwards while in park

[Bigskyroadglide]

The transmission is electronic, the parking pawl is a manual piece, if it does not properly engage then the vehicle will roll.

Use the parking brake, it's the only 100% guaranteed way of having a fail safe if it does not engage

Go here watch at 912, 1020 and 11 minutes. He will show you the parking mechanic piece. It's not much

With my 2016 Ram, if i turn the stupid Rotary Shift Knob too fast, a message pops up on my EVIC, stating that the transmission is not in Park

I just had this happen with my 2006 mega cab. Put it in park in my inclined driveway. As I was getting out heard a pop and truck rolled back a little bit. Driveway was dry. What causes this to happen? Doesn't happen every time just now and then.

use your parking brake.

I have an inclined driveway as well. I always use my e-brake just because I have heard this Rumer before. I have never had this happen to me and don't want it to. When I park on level ground I don't use it but, I might start.
