Default C7 jerky transmission

I have a 2014 C7 automatic. At low speeds up to 30 mph it is inclined to ****** when I touch the accelerator. Is this normal?

I don't know... I looked up "******" on the Urban Dictionary and it sure had nothing to do with transmissions.

What do -you- mean by "inclined to ******"?

Transmission of STDs perhaps?

****** is a British word for 'jerky' or not smooth.

^^^ Ah, from Geoffrey I should have guessed! Say hello to Simon!

It really depends on how much you're talking about, but I'd say no, I've not read other folks mentioning the same concern, so it may well be unique to a problem with your car. At least it's certainly not a common issue I ever hear raised.

Hopefully you have a good GM dealership nearby that will be able to inspect it? I'd guess it is now out of warranty, so perhaps any transmission shop would do, but I would generally recommend GM in this case in case it is a problem for which they have a solution already available (TSB, or Technical Service Bulletin).
