I have tested this thing after it did it a couple of times and what happens is...if you try to duplicate, watch the shifter on the EVIC, it goes to 2...then back to 1 really fast. It is a computer glitch. It Pi$$es the hell out of me. Now if I run from a 20 MPH, I know to keep in drive.
While in manual, if you hit the shifter twice to the right...sometimes it will shift, and sometimes it won't. Not good. I do not like the shift mechanism on these cars whatsoever.

Have you had the dealer look at your shifter. I had a few goofy episodes with mine & it threw a code bringing on the check engine light. The dealer checked it out & called the "Star Line" or something like that. They said to replace the entire shift mechanism. The problem was with the optical sensor in the SRT shifter assembly. It reads the shifter position somewhat like an optical mouse and was sending mixed messages to the transmission. They replaced the entire shifter assembly. It responds much more quickly to inputs, & is overall a huge improvement. My SRT is a Jeep but I'm guessing the shifter technology if not the exact part # is standard across the SRT line.
