    I have a 2007 Prius and a couple of days ago I was going down the road at about 50 mph and A noise started when I Accelerated and when I let off gas pedal it stopped. The car has a loss of power and fuel Efficiency has decreased. The noise sounds kind of like air but I’m not sure it’s very hard to describe. The sound kind of sounds like someone holding a grocery bag out the window it is coming from the driver side near the firewall

    Billy,

    Are there any warning lights on? How long have you been driving it like this?
    If you're unable to get quick resolution, I'm actually in Jacksonville until Feb 9th helping a sister facility. Macclenny is showing to be about 20 minutes west of my location. I have my laptop and techstream with me. My hours are currently a bit weird, but I may be able to help you out.
