Transmission/shifting issue - going out of gear

[RamRebelNate]

I recently purchased a used 2019 Ram Rebel and have had a few odd occurrences with the transmission. Today while driving up to a red light, right as the truck was going about 5mph, the dashboard showed a message "Shift to P then desired gear" and the D letter started flashing. As I was stopped at a red light, I quickly shifted into Park, then back into Drive and the screen went away.

This worries me as this is the second time this has happened since I purchased the truck (3 months ago). I'm going to try and atttach a video. Anyone have any idea what might be going on?

I didn't see your post till after i started one about my transmission hanging up in gear,

I took delivery of my New 2020 2500 Laramie Longhorn this past Tuesday, on Friday night as I started off from a stop light the transmission hung up in one of the lower gears, and would not shift. I immediately pull into a parking lot put the truck in park, turn it off.

I restarted the truck, put in dtive and so far it has not happened again. I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

Either of you find out what caused this issue? I have a 2019 Ram Laramie 1500 and it started doing the same thing.

In my case, it was me. I was actually hitting the button on the steering wheel and didn’t realized it.
