Yaris hybrid - Starting car - derek t
Hi, I have got my toyota yaris hybrid plate 2012 a couple of months ago. Every morning when I started my car to go to work, there is always a harsh sound from the brake when I lifted my foot from it as if the car is trying so hard to move. This only happens in the morning generally when it hasn't been driven for many hours or left overnight. A couple of times , it actually didn't move on the first time I started my car. I had to restart it again and gave it sometime before it actually moved and creating the sound. I don't know if this is actually normal for hybrid car? It feels like the car needs a warm up before going off the road. I spoke to a couple of people with auris hybrid but was told didn't experience similar problem but toyota told me this is normal. I am just wondering if this is normal or anything I could do at all? Many thanks.
