Question Automatic Trans not upshifting to 4th

I have my car since Nov 1st so far i love it but today I had something wierd happen and wanted to know if anyone else is haveing this problem. I was driving the car and it stayed in 3rd and wouldn't upshift. I am bring it to the dealer tomarrow but wanted to know if anyone else is having this problem or does anyone have a suggestion on what to do. The fluid level is ok but i do think i hear a rattling now but i might be noticeing a sound that was there already but i hear it now because of haveing troubles.

What speed where you at when you tried upshifting to 4th? Did you use the manual shifter, right steering wheel paddle, or left steering wheel paddle? I have never had a problem upshifting using either method, but knowing which one didn't work for you would help in diagnosing the problem.

It does it in auto mode only I don't have any problem shifting in manual mode all gears work but it does "stick" in 3rd in auto mode. I don't think it matters what speed in auto mode it should always go into 4th when you are off of the gas, right?
