Default GS450h Drop in Power
Hey bringing up an old topic, rlim13 brought it up I think, when I press on the gas the car will go but then it just stops like I got the gas line cut, it looks like the battery gets used up but it doesn't, the KW meter will go all the way up then shoot back down. Anybody else expierence this, scared the crap out of me thought the car shutdown on me!

Not sure. What lucusb explained to us is there is a change in planetary gearsets around 45-50mph where you might feel a change in the tranny but nothing like a pause or anything.

Yeah this is like a pause in power where everything just drops once I put my foot down, going for service on Tuesday so will see.
