    The engine on my 2012 Prius C developed a weird clucking sound, as if there is something lose (like da, da, da...) I can really only hear it at low speed, but as I accelerate, it gets faster. The car was in a minor fender bender a few years back with the front bumper slightly warped. Not sure whether it developed after that. The gas mileage is still great, well over 50MPG in the summer, which is pretty crazy after 8 years. Any ideas?

    More than one copy can be confusing.
