Stutter / jerking

Hey guys,
Searched all over and cannot find an answer directly related to this problem. In any gear at any speed, when I press or release the throttle at any capacity I get a slight stutter. Same thing happens when I press in or release the clutch. I also should mention that since day 1 I have felt a small vibration while driving, a clunking type feel in the pedals more than the steering wheel. Car was bought new and is completely stock with less than 2k miles.
It's a 2015 so I think I have the newest (black) fuel relays. I know I should remove the clutch pill and I will also have the tires rebalanced but I'm curious if it could be a drivetrain problem.
Any ideas or should I just take it to the dealer?

Doesn't sound like normal issues, especially on a new stock car. I'd take it to the dealer to have them diagnose.

Is the pedal clunking something you feel at low speeds? I've been having that issue too and haven't found what it could be other than brake pads shifting around maybe. Is the stutter engine related or trans related?

To me it feels transmission/drivetrain related. It seems like the clunking in the pedals is at city speeds, like 20-50 mph. Almost like you would feel if a tire had a tiny bump in it or a slightly bent axle or wheel. It's super subtle but definitely there, not enough to make me rush to the dealer but I know it's there so it annoying.
The jerkiness I feel like it's somehow fuel related or maybe a bad bushing or motor mount somewhere.

It's under warranty, take it to the dealer. Sounds like a possible bad motor mount.

I'm at 38 miles and have a similar issue on my 2015. It's when I go from not hitting the throttle to barely hitting the throttle. The car shutters. I'm hoping to log it this week. My first throttle was a bad TPS. I did not get a check engine light, but I'm guessing it's a misfire.

Have you guys had any luck figuring this out?

I'm just worried about this occurring during my break in...

I haven't had time to take it in yet. Will report back when I do but it may be a while since it's not my daily driver. Keep us posted on your issue as well.

Man my dealer said all the new ones drive like that. I even drove another new one and it did it too. Same thing. So weird I can't believe it stutters like that normally.

I have a 2015 and it runs perfect, no stutter at all anywhere. I have a custom tune but no mechanical issues.
