Fuel Pump Drive Module been replaced? If not you should check its condition. If corroded like most are, order a replacement from Amazon. for about $60.

I would first see if you can plug into a scanner and get a code. Not sure if you didnt get a CEL light you might not have a code, but its worth trying. Second thing I would do is check all your fluids, especially transmission fluid. I had a Chevy Trailblazer and it went low once due to a leaking seal and when I would go up a pretty good hill it would make a the same sensation of going over a bump even if the road was glass smooth and then I would get a light on the dash. Chased it for a could of weeks before I finally check the fluid and that took care of it.
