Transmission 'jerk ' while stopped.

I've noticed recently in my 2020 GLC that while I am stopped at a traffic light etc and sitting with foot on brake the car makes a very slight jerk occasionally as if trying to move although I have not taken my foot off the brake.
The jerk almost feels like someone banged into the back of the car but is just about perceptible. A passenger or other driver may not notice it.
Any thoughts?

Thank you. Obviously I need to mention the issue to my dealer.
Appreciate your feedback.

good luck.

I don't believe the issues being discussed are similar to my experience. The issues in that discussion seem to be all related to gear changes or at least are all experienced while in motion.
My 'jerk' occurs while at a total standstill with my foot on the brake and the car in D.

Understand. What you describe is exactly matches my issue.

I have calls into 2 techs.

Had my shop conversation and of course they want the car. That's not happening....yet.

they ask me to keep an occurance log to see if any pattern appears. Air and motor temp plus estimated stop time.

we shall see. Also no codes stored. All clean.
