Low Speed/Stopping Jeep Lurches

[Carlton]

I picked up my Jeep on Monday and have been experiencing an odd issue. At low speeds, usually while braking, the jeep will lurch forward/accelerate. At first I thought that I was hitting both pedals, I have since ruled that possibility out.

While going a couple miles per hour, it almost feels like the transmission downshifts, causing the jeep to lurch/speed up.

It happened while I was parking and while in the drive through today. Scared the heck out of my passenger.

While parking I was almost at a full stop when it happened. Seems quite dangerous.

I had ESS off when it happened.

Has anyone else been experiencing this? I read another thread where some people seemed to have an opposite issue, while a few may have had the same.

I have this issue.. Bucking at low speed. Stopping and Starting. I live on a hill, which appears to aggravate the issue.

I have noticed this in mine as well although it isn't consistent...Was at the dealership on Wed and of course it didn't happen for them...

It is random on mine as well. I have also now notices twice that it will also pause before going when pressing the gas. I'm guessing it is a related issue

I just bought a 2021 and I am experiencing the same issue. The dealership told me that I’m just not used to the new transmission since I drove a 2013 before. Why on earth would someone make a transmission so jumpy?
