Default My 07 Falls out of gear when in reverse?

I guess the topic mostly says it all...I just bought the truck a few days ago, its an 07 and had 6000 miles on it. Today when I put it into reverse and gave it just a little gas it kind of fell out of gear? And the little square around the R on the column disappeared too. I just shifted it into neutral than back to reverse and it worked alright. It did it 3 times out of about 6 that I put it into reverse. I guess Im gonna bring it back to the dealer but has anyone heard of this happening?

TSB 18-035-07 is a flash update - should fix it. Search the forum archives under "TSB - Reverse slipping issue" and "2007 Hemi reverse problems."

I have the same problem I even posted a smiliar post. I think it would be best to take both out trucks to the Dealer and have it looked at
