Are you saying your tires spin when you start out from a stop?

It sounds like torque steer. Your ES is front wheel drive and they are notorious for this if you give the car too much gas from a dead stop, especially on wet or damp pavement. Starting out slower and accelerating gradually can eliminate it.

If the front wheels slips you should see the traction control light on the dash light up for 1 or 2 seconds. The only time that happened to me was on icy roads in the winter or driving on snow. also the 300h has decent amount of torque when accelerating from a stop due to both the engine and traction battery generating power.

I have a 14ESh. It does that if it is in sport mode and I press hard on the gas. Also does that if the road is wet, or if I am also turning. Does not do that in normal or eco modes with a gentle press of the gas pedal.

Because my ESh is a used car.low mile, 27000 miles on it when i bought it.I have a little concerned about if the last owner abused the car and make that issue.The other thing is the tires look like brand new, but is the cheap tire.I also thinking about if the tire's problem?Like Lexbob2 said,i try to start out slower,it feel better.But i am not used to do like that.I don't think i press the gas pedal very hard.Just like the normal drive,and that front tires spin happen.The tires spin is slight and less than 1 second,but i can feel it.By the way,If i press the gas pedal very gentle,feel don't have that issue.
