I stopped for red light and waited for about 2 minutes for light to turn green. I took my foot off the brake pedal and put it on the gas pedal. Truck refused to go forward. Message in IP flashed ad stated to go into to park then back to drive. I failed on first attempt and had to do the procedure again to get truck to move forward. I think this is equivalent to stalling out at a stop. This has happened to me about 4 times total, 2 times today. No warning lights stay ,like a check engine light.

When turn signal is engaged (left, right, or hazard,) the normal turn signal sound randomly changes pitch and tone. This is an intermittent problem. Dealership has updated software which did not fix the problem. The signal lights work but the sound makes it seem as if there is a warning other than a normal turn signal sound. There are at least two social media posts about this exact issue on a 2025 and 2026 Ram 1500.
