Downshifting into first gear

I have a '15. Does not shift at redline. Oddly enough, if left in automatic mode for a spirited sprint it will Rev up all the way to 7800 before

Yes. Usually it will downshift on the curving on ramp to 4ish, but then when I gun it to not get run over on the highway (on ramps sharing the same lane as off ramps suck) it downshifts to 2-3 and likes to run up the rpms closer to 8k. My Rev limiter is set to 7k, so it's blinking and everything.
