My Car: 2004 Prius Package: B Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 4 | Re: the "jolt" I've only noticed it when the ICE is cold. Once the ICE is at operating temp, especially now that the temps are +15 C to +20 C, the shutdown is almost imperceptible. If I go for a drive somewhere after an hour or so at Trans Canada speeds then I can't even feel the ICE shutdown. |

My Car: Package: Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | the car will be a lot more "shuddery" when cold, like my self. First shut down always seems a bit rougher than when it's up to normal operating temp. As far as this damaging any of the mounts I doubt it in the extreme. With the exception of the 6 and 7 series V6 powered Toyota forklifts, Toyota seems to have designed good motor mounts. |

It has been happening less as the car gets broken in. Now for the jolt. I will sometimes get the jolt where the car lunges slightly forward and I'm in park. I'm usually just sitting there looking for something ect. and out of the blue it lunges forward. Anyone else experience this? |

I've never experienced that. When my Prius is in PARK, the emergency brake is almost always on -- which may explain why I don't feel it. If I'm stopped at a light, with the car in D and my foot on the brake, I will get the slight rocking/shaking if the engine hasn't warmed up, and won't stop. But that's about it. | |
