    Loud low rumbling noise from front of 2006 Prius when accelerating, sounds like a problem with exhaust system but I don't see anything obvious wrong.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    there is a counter weight near the rear motor mount that can break off and get jammed. that did happen to another member a few months back.
