DCT Shifts only in gear 1,3,5,7

Getting a bit concerned, have low tire light in rear and DCT freaks out.

Driving home car felt like it stalled while shifting.
Transmission warning light comes on in Yellow.
i notice the car is only shifting from 1,3,5,7 and it does this at any speed.
it will go into 7th while going 35 mph for example.
Sometimes won't go out of 1st.

This is the second time this happened but the last time cleared up on it's own.
Believe it or not, they call this "limp home mode". Not kidding!! manual page 147.

Gotta tell ya, with the awful RFT ride, 296 nervousness and the DCT, having second thoughts about this car.
