    I have a 2017 Prius V, there is a Left front-end grinding noise that sounds like a bad wheel bearing.
    However : -
    - The Noise goes away when I take foot off gas pedal (coast).
    - The Noise is most prominent when I apply brakes.
    - No noise if I switch to Neutral, then apply Brakes. Even if I'm driving at 100 kmph.
    - I've tried giving gas on turns, but no noise -- ruling out the CV joints.

    Does anyone have a lead for me?
