If your can manually force the shift then there’s probably nothing wrong with the actual gearbox and its mechanicals. Instead, the problem is likely to be an electronic one, perhaps with the speed sensor that tells the computer the car’s road speed and tailors the gearshifts to reflect that. Don’t forget, however, that gearboxes like the Nissan’s with many gears, often won’t select higher gears at low speeds. So if the car refuses to select sixth or seventh gear at urban speeds, that’s possibly just the calibration Nissan has fitted to it.
If this is an actual problem (and not just a characteristic) this is a very new vehicle and would be covered for this sort of problem by the factory warranty.
You could be looking at something internally wrong with the transmission, but the clue that this might be something simpler is in the way the engine will start in Reverse which, of course, it shouldn’t (for safety reasons). The suspicion would be that the relationship between the selector (inside the cabin) and the actual gearbox is somehow out of synch. So when the selector is telling you the car is in Reverse, it’s actually in Park or Neutral, which is why the engine will start.
That might also explain why the car won’t select fourth gear; the position that actually coincides with Drive (or fourth gear) looks – from inside the cabin – to be the Neutral position. So, to check this, put the car in what looks like Neutral and, in a safe place, see if it moves when you give it some throttle.
Failing that, you’ve got two separate problems. The first is the inability to select fourth gear (which could be a hundred things) and a failure of the safety switch which is allowing the engine to start in Reverse.
You could be dealing with either a worn transmission itself (where wear inside the gearsets, shafts or torque converter has made something sloppy) or there’s something else in the driveline (such as a differential or universal joint) that has likewise allowed some looseness or play to enter the equation. In either of those cases, a thump or clunk during shifts can be a symptom. It feels worse under acceleration, as that’s when the maximum stress is on all those moving, meshing parts.
Sometimes, a transmission can be serviced and adjusted to get rid of thumping or banging during shifts. Take the car to a transmission specialist who will be familiar with this transmission and may be able to return it to civility.

The Patrol uses Nissan's long-serving 5.6-litre quad-cam V8. It delivers a healthy 298kW of power at 5800rpm, and 560Nm of torque at 4000rpm.
It offers a power-to-weight ratio of over 100kW/tonne - good for a heavy 4x4 three-row wagon.
A seven-speed torque-converter automatic with a manual mode transmits drive to either the rear wheels or all four wheels via an electronic 4WD transfer case.
The Patrol is big and roomy, as you would expect from a full-sized luxury 4WD SUV.
The basic architecture remains the same across all Patrol grades - which includes a dated dashboard with an 8.0-inch touchscreen, excellent ventilation courtesy of a tri-zone climate control set-up, plenty of storage and high-quality materials.
The second and third row also feature overhead air vents, a second air-con unit, grab handles, reading lights, cupholders and additional storage areas.
In the Warrior, the wood and chrome highlights of the other grades have been expunged for Alcantara inlays on the dash and doors, while gloss black trim is also fitted.

The Nissan Patrol is unusual in offering seating for eight people except in the Ti-L flagship - two up front, three in the centre row and three in the third row. The latter has two individual chairs in the centre.
The front seats are quite sumptuous, the 70/30-split second row has backrests that recline slightly, fold down and tumble forward, while the rear row - also split - folds neatly into the floor.
With the third-row seats in use, boot space in the Nissan Patrol is listed as 467L. With the third row stowed away, there’s a claimed 1413L of cargo space. With the second and third rows stowed, there’s a claimed 2623L.
The Nissan Patrol is able to do the 0-100km/h sprint in approximately 7.5 seconds. Top speed is around 210km/h.
Requiring 95 RON premium unleaded petrol, Nissan says the Patrol averages 14.4L/100km on the combined cycle – for a carbon dioxide emissions rating of an abysmal 334 grams/km.
Fitted with a 140-litre fuel tank, around 970km of range is possible.
