Several claims of shutter resulting in low power when leaving a stop. Because the engine turns off entering ev mode. In the corse of 20 seconds the car without notice until taking off entering ice engine operation a massive shutter happens that when lots of forward power. This is an issue when no issues noted waiting to cross intersection or pulling into traffic without warning.
Took my car to toyota dealership. They said my car is burning oil. I have noticed my oil does burn up quickly, smells like gas upon the dipstick, I have seen no oil leaks. The dealership said they have seen this same issue with other similar models like in the prius. My car only has 82,000 miles. I baby this car and take for all the appropriate maintenance. This is very upsetting.
