Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While slowly moving downhill, on the freeway, during rush hour traffic, i attempted to change lanes and accelerated quickly. The switch from hybrid to gas engine interface only caused the engine to rev (increase rpm) without any gear being engaged. I quickly let off the peddle and depressed it again. It then engaged the transmission, narrowly averting an accident. This has happened 5-6 times since purchasing this car when traveling slowly and then trying to get a burst from the gas engine. I spoke with the dealership, and took it in for a check per their recommendation. They found nothing and could not reproduce it, although they did not try the same circumstance. They only attempted to stop and accelerate at which i said they wouldn't get it to happen that way.
