    Your post says 08, but in your vid it sounds like you say it's an 09?

    Doesn't sound like a misfire to me. What is the mileage and maintenance history for basic tune-up stuff?

    I always have the opinion if I don't know what I'm doing, I let someone who does, do it. Take it in to a mechanic. Probably be fixed in an hour. Mechanical things break/wear. In the forum you will get everyone telling you what is wrong. Doesn't fix the problem unless you are mechanically inclined and have all the right tools. Was this the one that was powerwashed?

    is your hybrid battery staying charged? is your mpg the same as it used to be?

    the only thing i can think of is a cylinder not firing.. check the ignition coils.

    oil?...
