Jerky acceleration while turning

2011 CTS coupe, all wheel drive, 112,000 miles. 3.6 direct injection. When making tight turns at low speeds, like when navigating a parking lot, I've noticed that there is a jerking while accelerating with the front wheels turned sharply. Otherwise it drives fine and runs great.

I've searched a few forums and the closest symptom I can find is a torque converter issue, but I don't experience the jerky acceleration as described by those with bad converters - at higher speeds. I also read that it could be the transfer case fluid, or a bad driveshaft support bushing.

I'd really like to narrow it down, if possible, before bringing it to the dealership.

Thanks.
