Default Downshift issue into 2nd

Hi, I'm not sure if the issue on my automatic c7 is normal. Lately, I have been using my paddle shifters more often. The car upshifts well and smooth. The same goes for the downshift but until down into the 2nd gear and 1st. The car would hesitate or jerk in a big way as if rear-ended by another car or hitting a wall ( exaggerated a little ) But, if I give a little throttle, the jerk would not occur. The problem is very annoying for me as I would sometimes give too much gas for the car jump forward a little.

is it something in my tune or is something wrong with my transmission?

thank you in advance for all your input.
jason

I’ve noticed this about automatics myself.Every auto car I had would do what you describe.
I believe it’s just the norm of the auto
