Post zl1 Power loss in 3rd gear

Hai guys,
I've a 2014 zl1 automatic transmission.
I drive it in S mode with the tapshift all the time.
From the beginning I've noticed power loss in 3rd gear.
Initially thought it was the traction control kicking in.
Turned the traction control fully off but the issue persists.

Problem:

Lets say I'm in 3rd gear and doing 50kph. If I give it some gas the car kinda starts pulling but suddenly goes down as if somethin is holdin it back.
But this doesnt happen if I'm in 2nd or 4th.
The downshift from 3 to 2 is so brutal that it makes the car off balance.

Took the car to a tuner but he cant seem to figure out what is causing the problem.

Has anyone had this kind off an issue? or is it just my car.

As of now the tuner said that the torque management of the car is turned off.

Any suggestions for getting rid of the above problem?

Awaiting reply
