Consumer Description
FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED IT NEW IN 2006, WHILE IN PARK/STATIONARY, IT'S NORMAL FOR A PRIUS TO SHUT OFF THEIR GAS ENGINE WHILE IN IDLE.. HOWEVER, WHEN THE GAS ENGINE COMES BACK ON TO HELP CHARGE THE BATTERY WHILE IN IDLE, IT CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK FORWARD 1-2 INCHES. ONE TIME THIS BUMPED A PERSON CROSSING THE STREET THAT WALKED NEAR MY IDLING CAR. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. SO THE DATE BELOW SHOULD HAVE AN OPTION FOR EVERYDAY.
