Description of the problem	Driving on the freeway at about 60 mph i noticed the engine light turned on and the cars power was gone. I continued to step on the gas but still no power at all. The transmission was stuck on 5th gear. Once i came to a complete stop and i press on the gas the engine just revs up with very little power. I take it to the dealership for them to confirm i needed a new transmission. I didn't want to pay $3,000 at a nissan dealership so i decided to take it to my local mechanic in which he said he's worked on maximas before with the same problem. He said the issue is in the valve body (part of the transmission) so he replaced it. I got the car back after a $1,500 bill and everything was working just fine. Until today 6-18-14, approximately two years from the first incident. Once again my transmission is stuck on 5th gear. Prior to this there was some jerking from 3-4 gear and a hard jerk from p to r. Here i am now facing another bill. This could of easily caused an accident and after numerous reports from other drivers nissan needs to address this issue!
