Description of the problem	While driving on highway, the automatic transmission downshifted and was stuck between 2nd and 3rd gear. When i came to complete stop, and then started to accelerate, the car would move forward very very slowly and then pick up speed. But car did not change gears. Once i turn off engine and waited for about 10 minutes, i turned engine back on and problem went away. I have taken it to dealer but they cannot duplicate issue. This continuously happens to me and cannot figure what to do. The car has actually completely turn off on the road while driving and have avoided accidents. Once the car turns off on the road at high speeds, the steering wheel locks up and gets difficult to pull over on the side of the road/highway. The 2004 maxima, as i have read online, are having transmission issues. I will never purchase another nissan vehicle.
