Here is a video of what is happening:

I'm not really sure why it is happening, but it seems as if maybe my element is not heating the wort fast enough to register with the probe at the out out if my RIMS tube. So by the time the probe reads the temp, the element has already overheated the wort?
This is very frustrating....
I have auto tuned a few times and it seems to make matters worse, not better.
Here is a picture of my RIMS tube:

It's probably about 2 feet long, the element comes right to the bottom of the sight glass.
It's a 1500 watt element. I am using a March pump to recirculate. I usually keep my flow rate pretty low to prevent channeling in the mash tun.
Any thought or further questions?
Thank you in advance for your help.
