At highway speeds, grabbing for a fraction of moment

I noticed 4 times in 30 minutes, when I was driving at 70 miles, grabbing for a fraction of moment. It became alright the next moment. Engine was warm. No malfunction indicator, no jerk etc.
I was worried and moved to slower lane to move off the road just in case if run in any issue of engine stall. Nothing happended.

After 4 times, I decided to put on cruise control and whether that helped or not, but I was not able to replicate the issue.

Hard to describe the issue but does the symptom make any sense to experts

what do you mean by grabbing? Like the brakes are being applied?

I've been having the same issue for the past 3 years with 2 different trannys put in. The best way to describe it is getting onto the freeway getting on the left lane and then boom, feels like i just slammed it into Neutral but before I realize wtf is going on it goes back to normal without any hesitation everything happens so quick it lasts for about a second or two max. The most recent time it happened I decided to stick the gas pedal to the floor car revved to redline and then jolted forward kind of like as if i was in neutral and then kicked it into drive. Although I dont have any tranny issues ill leave it as is for now No CEL or anything best thing I could think of would be the torque convertor locking up for a split second. A buddy of mine has the same issue with his 06 Crown Vic he got to the root of it finding a broken air intake shield that was packing snow into the intake but that is the issue for me...
