explain the locked

also put the engine size

Okay, its a 3.5L V6 SE(I thought all maximas come in 3.5L V6) buh by lock I mean it sometimes get stuck in "Park" and wouldn't shift to "Drive" except I press the shift lock button. Even going from Drive to Reverse requires pressing the shift lock button. Happened earlier and my mechanic said it was an electrical fault, he fixed it and it worked well briefly, now it would work sometimes, other times, it won't.

If your car is 2007, then it should be CVT. What exactly is the nature of the"electrical fault" diagnosed by your mechanic?

He never told me. Although the SES light isn't on either. He only fixed it and it worked temporarily and now it comes and sometimes doesn't.

It's either a problem from the brake switch or the shift lock solenoid under your shifter

The right path, very likely the shift lock solenoid valve.

Check your brake light switch which is on the brake pedal and see if its ok as you will always have to depress the brake pedal to shift from Park to Reverse and Neutral to Reverse and then into Park again.

Also check the shift lock solenoid. Its a safety device controlled by the brake switch and if not working properly, you may be having the difficulties that you just complained about.

Car-Doctor.

Okay y'all, I'd check those and get back to you with what I was able to get, hopefully it'll solve it. Thanks in advance
