In my 2009 Prius the only "surge" or "slipping" I have felt is when I am in EV mode and the traction slip control activates in the car (yellow slip indicator on dash)...I feel a "bump" out of EV and into ICE that took some getting used to. Instead of brief moment of panic...now I'm pissed because I got bumped out of EV and have to get back in it. Only happens when in EV when hitting a pothole, on slippery roads or sometimes when turning and the wheels spin on loose gravel.
