Default Going on 5th week in the shop : 2015 NismoTech

10,500 miles
Automatic transmission

Backstory
1st occurrence of failure
After driving highway speeds for about 15 minutes, I stopped, car was not shut off, and then got back on the highway. After about 10 minutes, the car started up and downshifting, revving high, and sputtering. Basically acting like it did not know what gear to be in at the current speed. I coasted off the highway, car sputtering each time I tried to use the accelerator.

Turned the car off for about 20 minutes. Started back up and was able to drive home in light to light traffic with no issues..

Drove car to dealership service department and explained what happened.

They replaced the cam position sensor & I got the car back the next day.

The next day, my wife drove the car to work - no issues. Driving the car home from work, a 6.5 mile trip, the same symptoms re-appeared.

I drove the car back to the service department, about another 8 mile trip. The symptoms returned, so I am thinking GREAT - it's at least repeatable. I pull into service, leave the car running with the Check Engine light illuminated along with some traction control looking light. VDC maybe?

They had it for 4 weeks, never able to duplicate the issue, even driving it over 300 miles in the process. (To be fair, I said drive it until it happens again)

Took the car back from them. One week later, the symptoms return. Took car to a different dealership on Friday - have heard nothing from them since.

My question is - has this been discussed already somewhere in another thread? The issue where it seems to not know what gear it should be in?

TIA
