    Occasionally, My Prius will stall after stopping.
    I will push the accelerator down ( even to the floor) and there will be no revving or movement.

    It lasts anywhere from 5 to 10 seconds. It happens after stoping (stop signs/red lights, etc...)

    has anybody else had this experience? Is there a fix? It seems extremely dangerous. I have been caught unable to accelerate in the middle of traffic when trying to turn.

    I called toyota about this, and they said they had no reports.
