    Whenever I start to accelerate I hear a noise coming from the back of the car. It sounds like something is moving/shifting around towards bottom of the back of car. Any ideas as to what this is? I have an 08.:confused:

    You might check down by the spare tire to see if everything is secured.

    Caution: Fix-A-Flat will mess up the Prius' tire pressure monitoring system, which will require an expensive fix. Don't use it unless you really have no other option (like a working spare).
