The jerking could be due to the turbocharger (if equipped) or it could be a transmission shift issue. If turbocharger related, it is probably "normal". If transmission related, some tests would have to be performed to determine the cause and the possibility of ECU/TCM software updates should be considered. To distinguish between the two broad possibilities (engine, if turbocharger equipped, versus transmission) requires that a mechanic drive the vehicle.
