Tranny slip glitches?

It's been warm and humid this week in TX and I've had two concerning transmission glitches on my '14 GT. Both occurred while the transmission was still cold from sitting overnight.

In both cases, coming from a dead stop and pushing the accelerator revs up the engine, but little forward motion occurs. After a long pause, it seems like a clutch drops and the car rockets forward and even spins the tires. It could be my imagination but I also feel like its a little sluggish in 1st gear and acceleration seems somewhat non-linear.

Could this be a valve body issue as others have reported?
 
Doesn't sound like the usual valve body symptoms, but I would definitely have your dealer check it out.
