    My 2005 Prius grinds (sounds like metal on metal) when accelerating. It's loud and dies down to a constant white noise only once i get to high cruising speed. It doesn't grind on any other occassion. The check engine light is on too, in case that has something to do with it. Please advise and thank you.

    You need a trusted mechanic, who is familiar with a Gen 2 Prius, to get to the bottom of your car's problems.
