Default jolt when accelerating

I have a 2010 auto tC with about 27k miles.
I have noticed that when im going at a slower speed (about 20-35mph, more or less) and accelerate a bit i feel like a jolt coming from the pedal and the car itself. If I'm not using the pedal just letting the car cruise at the speeds and I slightly step on the gas when its slowing down I feel a jolt, but if im going around 40 or more I don't feel that at all.

So I don't know if that has always been there and I just never paid attention to it or if its an issue.

Want to know what you guys think before I take it to my dealer to get it checked out since I would have to take out my CAI before I go, they threatened to void my whole warranty if I installed the Injen one. I know they legally cant do it but still just so they wont be rude and not help me.

Thanks in advance.

if its first gear than thats normal even sometimes in second gear...if its the bucking u talking of....

our cars are driver by drive by wire so the slightest tap of that gas pedal in first gear while cruising will make the car buck...and if u keep ur foot in same spot during the whole thing itll keep freakin bucking hahah
