Some Prius owners have reported issues with sudden acceleration o r hybrid system power loss, particularly during transitions between electric and gasoline modes. These issues are relatively rare but can occur due to:

If you experience sudden acceleration, it’s important to brake firmly and shift the car into neutral if necessary. A power loss issue should be addressed promptly by having the hybrid system inspected for faults.
