-gears (the car is automatic)?
-CV boots were replaced not too long ago, at that time, the CV joints
were okay. CV boots still fine, not leaking oil
-brake pads, rotors replaced
-engine mount?
-cylinder/ spark plug not firing?
2) It has to do with heat.
Normally, it happens when the car has been running for a while. After I let
the car sit for a few hours or overnight, the problem went away
-the problematic part expands and "slips" against another part
-it sounds and feels like cog wheels sliding against each other abnormally

Another thing I realized is that when I put the gear in reverse, there was no such "slipping" feel.
This could be a hint. Different parts were engaged with gear in reverse compared with gear in "Drive".
I still need help to solve this strange problem.
Thanks
