I recently got my 2019 PW and I currently just have over 1000 miles on it and 3 times in the last week I have noted an interesting failure. It invariably happens when I am parking. When moving the selector from reverse to drive, it pops out of gear (after you can feel that it has switched into gear). There is a slight edging forward and then it stops and the gear selector indicator blinks. I tried cycling between the various selections and back to drive, it typically takes several tries. I have tried turning off the engine and that doesn't clear the issue. The last time I was able to clear it by driving in reverse some (fortunately there was room), and then drive work, but then it locked my rear axle. It's possible I hit that button by mistake, but I doubt it.
I thought I would mention it in case there was some 'feature' I was unaware of.
Thanks for any thoughts.

Interesting issue. That's definitely something critical to immediately contact your dealer about, especially for the truck being so new.DesertBrewer wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 9:32 amI recently got my 2019 PW and I currently just have over 1000 miles on it and 3 times in the last week I have noted an interesting failure.

Re: Popping out of gear
Sounds like some kind of glitch in the auto park. You didn't have the door open or ajar by chance, did you?
