2017~2024 17 CX5 GT AWD - Hard Acceleration Issues - Struggling to pull strong

I have looked around a bit but have found lots of issues with stuttering at low speeds, but I am currently having issues under hard acceleration, fully depressed (highway on ramp, sport mode on and off) where my CX5 struggles during acceleration. It just seems like its a rapid change in power from strong to weak, alternating every quarter of a second - until release of gas pedal. Normally I would expect a constant pull under acceleration, not one that alternates and really struggles in the process. Thoughts?
