I think @Gfenza89 is having the same sputtering issue - Gary maybe you could confirm

Been trying to find someone with the same issue. I've got a '25 OR Hybrid and I noticed this exact problem. Just took it in this morning and had the technician ride with me and he said he was feeling it and drove two other hybrids and felt the same thing. But now that I'm back home I'm wondering if he was just feeling the hard switch from electric to gas motor and not the weird shuttering thing I'm feeling. It's definitely not a ride quality thing. It only happens when I'm lightly on the gas. As soon as I take my foot off the gas it's gone. Also I feel it for a second when I'm initially accelerating. Maybe between 1st and 2nd or 2nd and 3rd gear. I think I'm gonna go back to the dealership and drive another one myself and see if I can recreate the problem with another truck. Do you have any updates on your end?

I feel like 2 seconds of lugging sometimes but nothing continuous - do you guys feel it for long durations ? Also, higher octane fuel helps so much with smoothness and lugging

Yeah for about 2 seconds when I'm first taking off between the lower gears and not accelerating quickly. But then for a bit longer when I'm coasting. When taking my foot off the gas and then lightly putting it back on the gas it can happen for longer.

For me it’s minimal and isn’t really anything that bothers or concerns me. I think it’s worse maybe on some trucks?

Gotcha. Yeah mine is nothing too crazy but it is noticeable and my passengers can feel it/hear it too so I thought it was worth checking out. At the very least I've got it documented with the dealer if it becomes an issue down the road.

Mine does not rise to the level of anyone having any idea that anything weird happened. Good thing you got it documented
