I would take it to the dealer if its under warrenty. Mine back when it was consistantly about 60 degrees or less in the morning would occasionally slip. and i only had 50k on it at the time. So weather can play a part if its kinda cool or cold outside. It being a GXP though i wouldnt be to surprised if the transmission is getting ready to go. Since the FWD trannys dont seem to like the power the V8 and modded Super charged engines like to put down. Good luck with it.

Dont flush it unless it was flushed at 50k miles. If not then dont. You will only make it worse. Or atleast at Jiffy lube thats what we tell people because basically your transmission is used to the old fluid and fresh new fluid would shock it cause it to oxidize and slip more. You could try a renu adative that basically is a kind of half way flush that gets the Tranny ready for a real flush. When ever some one comes in asking for a flush we roll our eyes and ask if its slipping and when it was last flushed lol. If its been past the manufacturer recommended point of service its time for renu then a flush a few months later. Hope this continues to help. But defiantly talk to the dealer about it being under warranty.
