It sounds like you have several things going on.

First, it is a fact that even if you are in drive, the paddle shifters will work.

The revs staying higher than normal sounds like sport mode where gears are selected by the transmission to maximize power while in drive. If you aren't driving aggressively, it will seem weird in the way that the transmission is behaving.

When you say it was showing speed, do you mean showing in the digital speedometer or on the analog speedometer? The tachometer I expect to see something, but, if either speedometer is showing speed when there is none, it sounds like something is not working right. Although the speed sensor is usually something pretty simple and robust (it is rare for it to fail).

Not to sound disrespectful, but, have you compared what you are experiencing to what the owners manual says? If the car is not behaving like it is supposed to according to the manual then you can explain that to the dealership. Otherwise, it does not make sense. It is best to arm yourself with the knowledge in the owners manual. At the least, you will be better able to explain what is going on.
