When driving on the highway the car stopped changing gears and then flashed a check engine light, this has already happened to me on another QX70 infiniti that I had previously owned so it seems to be a common problem especially since Infiniti has now updated the part stamping to a G2A model from an MB3 since they know these parts fail. The car becomes undriveable on the road as gears stop shifting. This isn't something that is determined on how you drive but merely a sensor in the transmission that is prone to failing and creating an unsafe situation. I searched it online and it appears many people have problems with the transmission valve body failing on these poorly designed parts.
