    sounds like a bad wheel sensor or bearing.

    are all the tires and pressures the same?

    Yep. Sounds like a wheel speed sensor going bad.
    Probably on one of the front wheels.

    @bisco offers a good probability. Have you tried asking in the Prius c forum? This is the Prius Prime forum. The systems should be similar though.
