2014 ML350 Bluetec transmission Jerky

My wife and I purchased a 2014 ML350 Bluetec. We purchased it used with 38,000 miles on it. We are experiencing the transmission either jerky or slipping when we drive it now. We had the cruise on at about 60 mph and we could see the rpm's drop and then pick back up. We have had it into the dealer with no luck. We are not sure if this is normal or if there is a problem.

Woudl like to update this. I decided to take ML to a dealer to do transmission fluid & filter change.
Car has 56K on it, I know MB recommends to do it at 70K but as we all know MB recommends minimum to run the car, for a short amount of time.
Any way, now the tranny shifts so smooth like CVT. Don't recall its been that way.
Very happy with it now.
