2016 ES 300 Hybrid rumble strip feeling and hesitation
So tonight i was on the high and it was heavy traffic bad weather
for a little bit of time every time i would give it some gas i would feel a vibration not in the steering wheel not in the seat more like i could feel the front end vibrating hard to explain but almost like a sprocket with teeth are not catching for a moment if that makes sense. but it would just be for like the first split second i put my foot on the gas then after a few times of that it stopped not doing that anymore.
but when im on the highway cruising at 50-60 mph i give it gas and it feels like its in eco mode street driving like i can push the gas all the way to the floor and there is no get up and go no matter what made im in weather its ECO Normal or Sport mode
But it can get up to speed city driving fine like from a red light i can get up to speed fine but then once im steady like 40 mph or so i step on the gas push it to the floor and it slowly starts to climb but not much power to it.
i did not hear any noise no crack no pop at first i was thinking maybe somehow the axle came out of the transmission a little bit or something but i don't hear any noise coming from the axle no grinding like its trying to catch the teeth on the drive axle.
i am going to go to the dealership tomorrow but now im panicking wondering what could be going on and hoping someone can help me with some info on if this sounds like it could be something anyone has suggestion just to eas my mind on what might be wrong.
just realized more how to explain the shaking not a shake it was more like a rumble strip when you drive over at slower speeds felt like that
