After the car has been off for some time. Put the car in reverse. After reversing out of spot, etc. And put the car into "l"; upon moving forward, the engine starts racing and lurches uncontrollably forward. Almost like the car is engine braking down a large hill, but no hill and is accelerating without applying brakes. This is the plug-in hybrid model. There is no incline when this happens.
