2013 Toyota Prius V

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS A SEMI TRUCK. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THERE WAS NO POWER. THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT HAD BEEN SHUT OFF. THE STABILITY CONTROL, TIRE PRESSURE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. I TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR. THE WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS STRAINING OR LUGGING. I DISCOVERED IF I BACKED OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN ACCELERATED, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO REPEAT THE PROCESS OF BACKING OFF THE ACCELERATOR AT EVERY TRAFFIC LIGHT . I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO SOLD IT TO ME. IT IS BEING FIXED, BUT MY VIN # DOES NOT SHOW UP AS PART OF THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.
