2013 Passat TDI DSG — anyone experience “lurching” from a stop?

My car sometimes lurches when I let off the brake pedal and transition to the gas from a full stop. I have to make an effort to be extra smooth with brake-to-gas transitions.

It used to happen fairly regularly during DPF regens, but lately it’s been happening during normal driving too. Can’t tell if issue is my engines underpowered or if the transmission isn’t engaging 1st properly.

I just had the DSG serviced (fluid + filter) and the lurch still occurs. No CEL either.

Anyone dealt with this before?

Edit: Car’s at 122k miles. Maintenance always been on time

Car just got 120k mile service and threw me a P2457 code a few days later. I cleared it and it hasn’t come back but I do notice an occasional jolt when accelerating from stoplights. Moreso engine derived than transmission. How concerned should I be?
