| Description of the problem | The vehicle jerks and makes loud noise when the ev mode turns on momentarily at 60 miles per hour. This usually happens when going down hill and pressing accelerator after released for a few minutes. This does not always happen but when it does, feels like the rear tire has busted and the car is being forced to move. It has happened multiple times now and i have reported it to toyota but the dealer cannot replicate the problem. It has occurred at least 8 times so far since i bought the vehicle in september 2018. |
