can you try manually shifting to a higher gear. if the hill is steep, i'm sure the CVT is trying to slow you down. it remains to be seen how aggressive is appropriate and whether the TSB firmware update is sufficient for most circumstances. (i'm guessing in some circumstances, you would want it to do some engine breaking for you by downshifting)

I would not assume that he has the latest firmware, since this is a TSB you aren't guaranteed to have it applied. The TSB for the TCM specifically prevents the agressive downshifting during decent. If it bothers him, she should go to dealer and see if the TCM has the firmware.
