This doesnt happen when I'm in hybrid mode. Has only ever happened with the ICE running only. Now, knowing how other hybrids work, is the hybrid system assisting the ICE from a stop? Is it possible the hybrid battery is weak when sitting awhile and that's causing the issue? Hybrid mode seems to function normally, and even though this winter has been cold and rough, when it has warmed up, I can sometimes go a few blocks on hybrid mode alone. No codes have popped up, only thing that ever happened that caused a code, was back in January I backed out of my driveway, and it completely stalled, and it said service power steering and popped 3 codes. But since then, zero codes or issues like that.
do you wait at lest 2-3 seconds for it to start? when shifting into reverse.. I wait 2-3 seconds for it to shift into reverse other wise it runs very rough if you try and back up right away ... this is a complicated transmission... in main stream car talk having gears and cvt was not heard of tell FEB 2018...
about a year ago..
while toyota is 25 years behind barely getting the idea out there. LOL (it came out in 1995) it's just a miniaturized version that is used on the tahoes

We get to enjoy our 4 speed launch gear-CVT (aka EVT) that came out in 2008
toyota is a bit late to the
I know toyota claims to be the first
it's one of the reason why I back in to any parking space so i don't have to deal with this and able to "leave" right away... try waiting a few seconds when putting it in reverse.
it even says in the user manual it can be slow to shift from park to reverse or drive
when cold and is "considered normal".....
I did stall it on a cold start up (but fired up by it self again in park) but has not happened after switching to premium fuel . on a ice cold start. and
Auto stop "start up" much smoother most of the time I have to check if my engine is still running as it's very quiet ..
so quiet it's almost caused a few accidents... in parking lots ( other people don't notice it) as they are used to cars making noise etc...
one super close call with a prius with in a few inches..
he tried lieing and saying i hit him so he can get his broken car fixed for free...
then he tried pointing out old previously there scratches. it would have been impossible other wise the corner of my bumper would have tore his prius apart
foiled his scam after I said I had a camera he wanted out and just left after that... I was going to back into the space but someone was getting into their car etc.. he tried setting me up by waiting in his car for me to leave and to pretend to hit me that old guy was a total POS.. lier
