Default '05 S80 Transmission Issue

So I have a strange issue with the transmission. It seems to have problems shifting on hills. When I'm going slow, around 30mph on a hill, it wont shift up ... it just seems stuck in the second to last gear (high revs, whine).

Today driving to the mall, again up an incline, I was accelerating very quickly when the same issue occured, only at around 70mph-ish. Has anyone seen this before? Am I going crazy? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

Yeah, talk to the dealership. It could be a software issue. Your car is too new to have a hardware issue with the transmission, or at least I would assume so.
