Stuck in First Gear

[Deinonychus]

I own a 2011 Raptor.
Today after driving about 3 miles, after leaving a stop light the Raptor failed to shift out of first gear. I pulled to the side of the road, but didn't turn off the motor. Pushed the tow/haul button on and then off (I can't believe that did anything, but maybe). The Raptor shifted normally to get me another mile and then the 4 miles back home.

Recently I have noticed occasionally shifting strangely (sort of hunting) between 2nd and 3rd gear, but nothing too noticeably.

Any thoughts.
Thank you.

Sucks to hear that dude!!
Just curious, are you using any custom Tunes/Tuner?

Thanks, I should have added. NO custom tunes. Stock tune.

See if it happens in manual mode as well next time

Trans range selector may be going out

I'll definitely keep that in mind.

Is this a somewhat common problem?
Is it related to mileage or age?

I'm at about 20,000 miles

I haven't seen it lately but on 04-08 trucks I used to see it a lot. Happened to me @ 80 mph in my 04 truck went to 1st gear. Talk about an abrupt stop

Here is my .02 cents: I know on my 13, while in regular "Drive" mode you can use the + and - gear select button and can basically lock your trans into specific gears. For example, you can hit - three times and then the truck will only shift through gears 1-3. You could also go all the way down and then the truck will not shift past 1st gear. If this was the case, you would see on the dash the number 1 only to the right of the display screen. One time I accidentally had it in this mode as opposed to actual manual mode and the truck stayed in 1st gear until I hit the + buttons a few times so it would shift. Not sure if the 11 has this same feature. Just throwing it out there.

off road mode

That happened to me once. I had accidently pushes the "off road mode" button.

The event has not recurred to date.
Currently, I'm in "watch mode", but suspecting (or hoping) it was my error.
