Hi all,

Yesterday I was getting off a highway during semi-wet conditions (it was no longer raining) and when resuming from a stop sign, I was heading up hill. The car puttered in a way where the tach needle dropped and rose intermittently for a second, maybe two. I couldn't tell if the wheels were slipping or if the CVT was (is that even possible?). The reason I'm worried it was the transmission is due to the lack of a traction control light at the time. I know with certain cars that the TCS light won't emit immediately when slip is detected.

Just looking to get some input here & if I should bring it to my local dealer for diag, there is no lights currently on the dash. The car has 5000 miles.

Thanks!

Could be some type of traction control reaction for wet conditions going uphill. I mean it’s a new vehicle, I wouldn’t think it would be broken this quickly.

I would say it was probably a 10 degree grade, so nothing crazy. The hill I live on is steeper. What's worrying to me is that if the car slips in those conditions, I'm not excited to drive it in the snow..
