This kind of jerk is a symptom of the trans not releasing- an issue with the lock up torque converter, or associated sensors actuators.

Being able to PRECISELY describe the 'jerk' would be of benefit when asking here or taking it to a mechanic....
Will the software update will solve the problem? Talked the dealer yesterday, needs to bring it in for diagnostic and update if there is an update for my transmission for $219.....they need the X for the whole day.

"trans not releasing- an issue with the lock up torque converter, or associated sensors actuators." is it an expensive fix??
