When I come to a full stop and attempt to drive the vehicle sort of "stalls" then eventually the gears catch and it starts to drive. This can be very dangerous when trying to pick up speed in a highway or something. The first time it happened I was at a stop sign. Upon depressing the brake, the vehicle did not pick up speed, it slowly rolled forward. After about 5-10 seconds, the vehicle then seemed to "catch gears" and picked up speed. I also noticed the hybrid battery wasn't charging very well and seemed to be hot as the battery fans were constantly on.

Vsc ABS mil lights came on in dash and brakes sank to floor, but restored control after restart. Checked diagnostic codes and it showed codes for hybrid battery p0a80 and p3025. Replaced auxilary battery with oem from toyota. Now car shuts down while in motion driving highway speeds without any warning and lose gas pedal response. First time it happened with my family in the car including a 5 yr old and 9 month old baby. Complained to toyota as vehicle only has approx 93000 miles and toyota declines to assist with resolving issue even though warranty was extended to 10yr/150k miles. Dealer misdiagnosed vehicle codes. Brakes failed second time, this time causing car to slowly bump into object and scraping bumper at low speed. Checked all fuses. Vehicle now continuously shuts down randomly on slow or high speeds, while making a turn, merging into traffic, crossing a heavy intersection.

Takata my 2007 toyota hybrid has been behaving badly, with just 190k miles.my traction battery monitor would show 7 bars falling to 1 bar instantly. Instantly, as I would be looking at it and it just dropped that fast. It would get parked with a full charge indicated and then the next morning one bar. Sometimes it goes into e mode and shuts off while driving on highway ive been close to crash with other vehicles. The ECM throws a warning, "check hybrid system". I borrowed an actron scanner that had the capability of basic hybrid codes and one code was present "p0a80". Also, check vsc would show all the times. Somewhere I read this is normal with p0a80 as the ECM shuts down the vsc to conserve power..
