    First and MOST formal, I am not here to say anything bad about our Prius, just try to understand the problem if any.

    When I back up, sometime, I felt the car is sort of pushing/jerking backward and I need to use the brake to control/overpower the reverse power. Long story short, it is not a smooth reverse/back up. Any idea?
