Consumer Description
THE PRIUS STALLS WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP ON WET OR GRAVELLY SURFACES (ANY LOW TRACTION SURFACE). THIS IS ALMOST ROUTINE WHEN STARTING FORWARD WITH A TURN TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. THE FORWARD MOTION TYPICALLY STOPS, AND THEN SURGES AND STOPS AND SURGES REPEATEDLY UNTIL A MOMENTUM BUILDS TO CONTINUE ROLLING FORWARD. THIS IS FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF TURNING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THE TOYOTA DEALER SAYS THIS IS THE ESC AND THE BEHAVIOR IS TO BE EXPECTED. *TR
