Similar problem with my Chevy Volt 2017. Only 38000 miles. Dead in middle of the road late night. Got it towed to Chevy dealer. They found transmission goes bad and need to be replaced. Good enough it’s covered under warranty. But I don’t have extended warranty and this makes me nervous. 38000 miles is not lot. I see too many red flags in here for Chevy Volt. I’m thinking they should buy it back and give me new car. If they don’t I might have to consult a lawyer and go from there. I can’t be driving this car on highway and suddenly car comes to a stop. This is how you get run over!

I wonder what it counts as a "clutch slip". Sometimes after I stop, my car will jerk a bit the next time I accelerate. It feels like it starts to take off, then jerks into what feels like Neutral for just a split second, then snaps back into acceleration.

When this happens in CS mode, it's far more exaggerated...one time I started to take off and it jerked mildly a couple times and then completely stopped accelerating for about a full second until it started the engine and then everything was fine. This has never thrown any codes though, and it doesn't happen very often...did yours do anything like this?
This is exactly what it was doing for me. Thanks for describing the problem. Same issue. For me transmission went bad and they’re replacing it.
