Remove the turntable and roller ring from the oven and run your fingers along the roller "track" on the bottom of the oven and feel for any roughness etc.

If there is or even if there isn't anything noticeable, thoroughly clean the track with a kitchen or bathroom cleanser to make sure that it is smooth. Not too much water as you don't want any entering via the motor drive shaft etc. Disconnect the power to the oven as well, just to be safe.

What usually happens in older microwaves is that the rollers can develop flat spot or there's burnt food particles on the track which momentarily jams the roller and the turntable stutters until it is overcome. Once rolling it generally goes well although there may be a stutter or rumbling sound as it passes over the rough spot.
With new ovens it is generally that the track hasn't been cleaned properly.
