The gearbox does not change from 1st ? until maximum revs are reached.

I have complained frequently to the dealer who is aware of the problems associated with the i-shift. Apparently some new software is imminent as it has been for the last six months !
I have no experience of the i-shift system, but this sounds like a horrendous fault. I don't think I would drive the car if it were mine and that unpredictable.
