Description of the problem	Van has had issues slipping on hills after stop with gears grinding and jerking. Brought in to dealership and they could not replicate. I mentioned i thought it might be transmission and how we can do preventive maintenance. They recommended flushing transmission fluid for $125 which i did. Less than month later, slipping still occurred on hills after stops. On way home this past saturday, i was going about 30-40 mph when there was a stop light on a slight incline. I slowed down to about 5-10mph when the light turned green. I then pressed the accelerator pedal and the gear grinded and i had no power. As i pressed the gas no power was coming to van and i had to pull over. I had to turn off the vehicle and wait a minute or so and after starting the car, the vehicle seemed normal again. I noticed the check engine light also was now on. Brought the van in to dealership and after doing a drive test and replicating on a hill, they confirmed the slipping. They also did a diagnostic and confirmed transmission needed to be replaced to tune of $4100. Looking up this case there appears to be numerous problems with nissan cvt transmissions. Nissan also provided an extended warranty for prior van models from 2003-2010 to 100k miles. My vehicle is a 2012 nissan quest with 81k miles. With all the nissans having cvt transmission issues, it appears there is a pervasive issue that needs to be addressed by nissan.
