Ok guys,

I tried the search on this but couldn't find anything on this particular issue.

This morning is heavy traffic some dork almost rear-ended me, actually skidding up behind me. Traffic in front of me started to flow so I floored it to avoid the rear-end collision. The engine revved to about 4500 rpm, I backed off for a moment and accelerated again only to notice that the rpms were increasing but the speed was not. I had to back off on the gas for a few seconds then hit the gas and the car started to accelerate again. My G has only 3000 miles on it, and 4500 rpm is not unreasonable. Is this the VDC doing this?

Tires were not spinning, transmission was slipping. The dealer told me today that it was characteristic of this AT and nothing is wrong.

I'd like to know if this should be happening as well, as I've also experiencedthe same slipping... I've been meaning to disable the VDC and floor it to see if the same slipping occurs, or if the wheels actually spin.

Hopefully someone who knows what the correct behavior is will inform us all.
