2014 C300 4Matic

Hey guys , so I have a 2014 Mercedes C300 4Matic and I'm new to Mercedes. This is my very first one but I'm not sure if when the car goes from 2nd to 3rd gear it's supposed feel a jolt from the front. I have a reservation for Tuesday because there is an update that they told me was available but i don't know if that will fix it.

Any thoughts from other owners that have the same jolting or lag feeling?

Mine was doing it but it seems to have stopped. It jolts in the front when I am coming to a stop from spirited driving but that seems better since I did the soft reset of the TCU. I'll be calling the dealer today to see if there are any updates available. My next maint isn't till Dec but if there's an update I'd like to take advantage. There are some good things about this car but I regret trading my 335i so I will be addressing that as soon as I can afford to.

Mine seems to only do it when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. Sometimes its a hard jolt, sometimes you can't feel it. Tomorrow they told me I have an update and i will be bringing it to their attention because many people on this forum have had close to the same symptom.
