Last week, the RPMs were jumping up and down while driving.

This morning, it won’t shift into reverse. When I put it in R, its like it doesn’t catch.

Having it towed to the dealer now, but curious as to what happened. Last week a poster suggested it didn’t get a software update, which was helpful, but now it seems like something serious.

My 2019 which I got brand new experience the same RPM jumping at 3,700 miles. Turned out the transmission was bad. Replaced by dealership in Allentown, PA (where I broke down), and no issues after that.
