FROSTYBALLS 3,344 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Does the car have DAB? If so the DAB aerial may be behind that white trim panel.What month in 2010 was the Prius registered - if before June the 3 year new car warranty will have expired (but does it have an extended warranty), if after June it should have the five year new car warranty.Have you approached a Toyota dealer?

kithmo 268 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 It sounds like the front wing rattling, where it meets the front of the little window. I had it on my 2010. If you poke the wing there you'll see it flexes, try wedging a bit of cardboard behind it to see if the rattle stops. The proper fix is a new front wing with a stiffer mounting bracket, but I believe it was only accepted in the US as a fix. Another buzz I had was the air intake hose where it's fastened to the front crossmember, I'd had it off to change a headlamp bulb and if it's not tightened in the correct position it buzzes.
