| My car feels like it is almost going to stall out whenever i accelerate from a stop. this has become very dangerous for me when crossing and intersection from a stop. i have almost been hit several times. i am not sure, but i think it has to do with the hybrid system. this usually only happens when the air conditioner is on, but i have experienced it with it off too. now, whenever i come to a stop and try to accelerate, i have to push the gas pedal all the way to the floor because if i do that, it doesn't feel like its going to stall out near as bad. i am very concerned over this issue, but i cant afford to pay for fixing the issue if the dealer tries to say its not drive train or hybrid (which i still have warranty for). *tr | |||
