Does anyone else have this issue? If so, what ended up being the cause or fix?

My 2024 Outback Wilderness (45k miles) has a strange hesitation/stutter that only happens under a very specific condition.
-Gently accelerate to around 14-15 mph.
-Lift completely off the gas.
-The car does a quick skip/stutter for about a second, then drives normally again.

It almost feels like it’s confused between gears (even though I know it’s a CVT) or the torque converter is engaging/disengaging. It doesn’t happen under hard acceleration and there are no warning lights.

I’ve taken it to the dealer multiple times, but of course they haven’t been able to duplicate it.

Has anyone experienced something similar?
