We have a 21 R/T Durango. No issues yet. Take it to the dealership. Still under warranty right?

Are you sure you havent accidentally hit a paddle? If you hit them in certain modes it automatically engages M mode and won't shift out of first taking off.

Maybe I'm mis-remembering, but could swear that in temporary manual/paddle mode, it will automatically upshift to 2nd at redline, but only 1-2 shift. All the other shifts points will bounce off the rev-limiter and not upshift. At least in the Charger/Challengers.

Are you also bouncing off the rev-limiter when it fails to upshift?

My 2021 Ram truck has stuck in 1st gear a couple of times. What I do is switch it to neutral for a second then back to drive then it's fine. Not sure why but since it's only done it twice in 2 1/2 years, I'm not worried about it & don't want the dealer F-ing with it to just tell me they can't find anything wrong.
