Experienced some weird slippage

So the other day, I was going down the hill in 3rd gear and right around 3000 rpm I felt a quick but slight tug and the "slip" light goes on about twice. This happened as I was turning slightly right going down the windy hill if that makes any difference...

I find this weird since my clutch is new and it's oem too. Not sure if I should be concerned but has anybody experienced this before? Thanks

Should we be concerned about the mechanism behind this issue? Or maybe all Gs do this, and it is perfectly normal yeaah

Your VDC is tripping out. This happened to me when I got new rear tires and left the worn fronts on. It will also happen when you don't get the correct tire sizes or rim sizes. The diameter between front/rear ended up a bit off and the computer was tripping around some corners. When I put new front tires on the issue went away.

In the meantime, you can turn off VDC if its really bugging you.

My tires are in okay condition I suppose, but given the input you guys gave me, I believe it's because the pressure in my tires and yes, VDC. I did gas going down hill...dunno why, just felt like it ya know? I have the (!) on, so I'll get to that when I fill up. Thanks
