Traction control jerking the car around.

Is it normal for the car to jerk around while traction control kicks in? I understand the car uses the brakes and cuts fuel to maintain traction, but this seems like it goes way overboard compared to every other car I've had. I'm used to when the car loses tractions, it cuts the fuel and maybe dabs the brakes and the car slows down a bit until it gets traction back. With my 135, it seems to jam on the brakes over and over again, jolting the car several times until I let off the gas altogether or it finally gets traction. I had to hit the DTC button just to keep all the teeth in my head.
