Hi,

I just bought my hybrid 12 days ago. I've noticed in slow moving traffic, the car kicks as I accelerate (like a transmission slippage) from a deceleration. I assume that is what everyone means by pulsing. I also noticed in the midst of an acceleration, I occasionally feel a hiccup in the acceleration as if no fuel is going to the engine. This is very concerning for a new 2008.

Has anyone else had these issues? Is your pulsing similar to my experience?

Thanks!
