Default New Owner: What just happened?

Good day,
We picked up a 2017 GX Premium for my wife about 3 weeks ago now and I finally took the car out for an extended drive last night. At some point I was standing at a light on a somewhat steep hill, when the light changed and I let go of the brake the car rolled back for a second but then I heard this grinding sound, the traction control light kept blinking and it felt like the car was not moving for a few seconds all though my foot was on the gas... Honestly, scared me a bit. What is going on? I drive and have been BMW X5 and never experienced anything like it in it. What is going on here? Can someone shed some light on it for me please?

Thank you in advanced,
Igor

Funny... I saw the same thing rock back and forth on a speed bump in a parking lot the other day while waiting for a car coming from another direction. Appears to be normal

Same thing happened to me a couple of times when I'm backing out of my drive way. Good to know that it's normal

Yup. Completely normal. Chatter, a bit of brake pedal shake, etc.
