Transmission problems, 2006 Buick Ranier

I'm here visiting my fiance and driving her 2006 Oldsmobile Ranier (basically a Trailblazer/Envoy) and it has a problem with the tranny.
She has had the truck taken to the dealer and several auto places who supposedly can't recreate the problem, although they did change out the fluid, checked the levels, and checked for leaks...
She doesn't drive it rough, never off road, always on schedule with maintenance. The truck has 33k miles, and about 95% are cruising on the highway back and forth to work and often she has to drive to conferences that are several hours away...so the majority aren't even start-stop miles.
Anyhow, sometimes when you put the truck into gear from park and step on the gas it's as if the truck is in neutral and won't go...then it will kick into gear with a small jolt and you are good to go. It never kicks out of gear or causes the problem once it is already set in Drive, only when first shifting from Park or Reverse and into Drive, and then maybe only one out of every 20 times or so.
It's driving her nuts, but I am more concerned this is an onset of a
problem with the transmission. Thanks in advance for any help you might
be able to provide.

To start with I would have the computer read to see if any code could have been stored, until then its a guessing game.
