Has anyone had issues with what I can only describe as a transmission slipping. I can count on one hand how many this times this has happened but after coming to a stop and trying to go again, I step on the gas and for a split second I go nowhere and I feel the slightest surge like the trasmission engaged and I'm off again like nothing happened. I cannot reproduce this and still have not found a solution to this issue. When it first happened about 5 years ago I thought my transmission was going out but 100k miles later everything has been pretty much fine. It has happened ony a handfull of times more. The surge is very slight and not even really noticable. the only reason I know and feel it is becuase I step on the gas pedal and the car doesn't move like it should.

Any ideas?

Any chance you figured this out? My Yukon has done this as well.

Does it happen when its Cold outside? transmissions need a certain temp to operate normally , when its colder outside and you don't warm your vehicle up you may notice for the first mile or so the trans seems very sluggish , on another note If your trans was slipping it would have failed by now . It might be your TQ converter not locking up properly , This could cause trans issues later down the road
