This should be checked out soon, find a repair shop other than the dealer, cost would be less, something is going on with the front end or transmission.

This is happening to my 07 Quest right now, exact thing. I changed the camshaft sensors as I saw on YTube and the crankshaft sensor. I did buy the cheap OEM ones from ebay (I dont have money either) want a quick fix for now. I also bought a OBDII scanner from autozone for $40 and I cleared the codes (P9345 or 40) for a while. Now the engine light is only thins one but I get TCS and Slip when going over railroad track or gravel and loose dirt. Then I saw another video on it being the wheel sensors once everything else fails. I did the fluid checks and wheel/brake checks as well all looks good. So it has to be the wheel sensors.

I just saw another video on a guy that changed all wheel speed sensors and that fixed it.

Hi, I have a 2004 Nissan quest. When I drive the SLIP will appear sometime. I showed my car to a mechanic, the bank 1, bank 2 sensor, and throat body they changed. But still sometimes the car will show the SLIP. When I am driving slow SLIP will appear not when I drive fast. I spent a lot of money trying to fix this issue, so please help me figure out what the problem may be. Thanks.

I just fix mine with the same problem...I change thow camshaft sensor and it works like new....I hope it help you out...
I just had a similar problem and fixed it as follows. When placing the car into reverse from the park, the car surged backwards with a loud knock and then the "Slip" light turned on and the TCS and OFF lights turned on. On googling it I came to this site. After reading the comments, I remembered that I had checked my air-filter yesterday afternoon and had forgotten to reconnect the sensor between the air filter and the engine. I am not sure what the sensor is called, but reconnecting the sensor fixed the problem for me.
I had the same thing happen...wonder if SLIP means the transmission is slipping...? any thoughts?
