My '02 Prius, purchased in 9/02, gets loud when accelerating on the highway, usually above 45 mph. Also, it feels to me like it's straining until it reaches a higher speed, then it quiets again. In the city, just driving around, it's very, very quiet. I drove a friend's Prius, and hers did not make this noise. The car has been into the dealer three times for this. The dealership manager owns 3 Priuses and he's traded cars with me the last two times and driven my Prius into the dealership. He and the service manager agreed my car was noisier than others and the last time, a Toyota technician came over to the dealership and thought the noise was vibration from the exhaust. They took off the exhaust and repositioned it and all felt the noise was abated. To me, it's not much different.
No other Prius owner I've talked to has this complaint. Any experience with this?
Thanks!
