This does not sound like the issue we are having, at least to me. I have read that in heavy traffic the transmission sometimes kicks . . I think it's due to the fact that the auto-stop feature takes a split second to bring the engine back on when you lift off the brake . . then occasionally there's a little engine surge before the transmission engages. I don't think that's anything to worry about, especially if it only happens in slow moving bumper-to-bumper traffic situations. The hesitiation sounds odd, though. That may be the same issue we're having, only we feel it more like a pulsing or bucking. I have to say that I'm sill very happy with our hybrid even though it has a few quirks. The situation has not gotten any worse and the problem happens very rarely.
