Has happened twice in last few days. In Drive (D), pull out of parking space and notice that the automatic is not shifting up past 2nd. First time, I flipped from D to M and back and problem was gone. Thought I had just not placed it properly in gear. Same thing today. In D, I was stuck in 2nd all the way up to 4000rpm when I again flipped to M then back to D. Problem gone again. The first time the engine was cold. The second it was warm and in 24 deg F weather. Has anyone else had this issue? Only happens when I start after an hour or so being parked.
Could not find anything similar in search...

Is the car in sport mode when this happens?

No, it was not in sport mode. I "think" its good to hear I'm not alone with this issue...

Did it happen to everyone else in cold weather?

When I get my new car satisfaction survey from Lexus I will report this and refer them to this post where multiple people have had this problem.

Seems like a fault to me and perhaps correctible by engine software. I will make Lexus aware of it. I suggest each of you with this issue also do so so that it gets in their database.

I've not had a repetition of the issue I had twice before. This is my daily driver so I've had plenty of chances to see it happenin the cold weather. Crossing my fingers.
