Nissan CVT has had its fair share of bad press, but CVTs in general are good to go, and more specifically, Toyota’s CVT is a good piece of gear. I don’t doubt your story, but it’s got me real curious about what the issue is. I can’t imagine a scenario where hard braking somehow disables the car, but I know “safety features” in abundance are a thing.

Yeah they apparently ran some scans on the transmission and everything checked out.
The 2nd time I drove straight back to the dealership since I was nearby and they scanned again without shutting the car off and still showed no issue. All I know is it’d act like it was in neutral for about 2 minutes. Then it’d barely creep forward even at 4000 rpm. Going to park and back to drive didn’t help. Restarting the car didn’t help. After about 10 minutes of slowly getting better, it’d be back to normal.
