Default 12 EB Traction Control Light On

One of the things I hate most is intermittent lights, noises, funky hesitations, wobbles etc. So I have a new 2012 EB SCREW 4X4 and I am at about 4700 miles. I was driving on the freeway slightly uphill and I went to pass another car and I lost power and the orange traction control light came on. I backed off on the gas pedal and tried again and the truck came alive again and was fine.

I took it to the dealer and they checked it out. Loaded updated software and said they could find nothing wrong. OK.....so am I crazy??? I hate this. They look at you like your are just bat sh@# crazy. They said if it does it again to bring it back. Right. It lasted maybe 5 seconds. So off I went.

4 days later. It does the same thing. This is bazzare right.

Anyone else see this?

Was there snow and/or ice possible the day it happened on the road you were traveling? One little patch of black ice would cause what you describe.

This^ if it was slippery, then that's how the traction control works. If not, then i don't know.
