Description of the problem	Alright so today i noticed a whining noise coming from the transmission. On my way home from work, just after leaving my car kept slipping out of gear. I get on the highway and the engine light comes on. Then im stuck in 5th gear for the rest of the way home. I got the flash codes and did a bit of research, here is what i found. 2012 nissan altima sedan - torque converter clutch circuit intermittent pausible causes: - faulty torque converter clutch solenoid valve - torque converter clutch solenoid valve harness is open or shorted - torque converter clutch solenoid valve circuit poor electrical connection - low transmission fluid level - dirty transmission fluid i have to pull over for about 5 minutes then start my care for the sensor to reset so that i can drive my desired speed limit. Once it gets hot the transmission will not allow me to drive more than 60-65mph. The dealer says i need to new transmission. I have 95,000 miles on my 2012 nissan altima 2. 5 s and is already having problems. It's difficult for me to travel as much because of these issues. After an hour of driving, my transmission whines and my speed limit drops when driving this is extremely dangerous and deadly. I fear that because of the decrease in speed could be potentially dangerous.
