    Today morning I drove my 2017 Prius 2 and when I drove off my driveway, I heard a metal sounds coming from my car. As I kept driving I felt my front driver's tire had something on it too. I was at a stop light, turning left. When I turn my car, my front driver tire made a sound (like it went over something) and I heard a metal sound coming from the back of the car. I went to a parking lot and check... There wasn't anything. As I turn again, I heard the metal sounds again. I drive my Prius every day.

    Any explanation of the metal sounds from my Prius?

    This car is under warranty, The dealer should troubleshoot at no charge. They should be able to observe better than us guessing.
