Do you feel vribrations ....

I do feel vribrations coming from the gas pedal with a slight vibrations in the steering at high speed (65-75 MPH).

Why is that?
Anyone had the same?

I get that... after I changed the wheels. Very slight, but there nonetheless. I bought the wheels & tires used, and noticed that there was some uneven wear (cupping) on the front tires. After I rotated them, the vibration wasn't nearly as bad, but I do have it a little still. I'm hoping new rubber will fix it.

Yeah, I mentioned this before. I releaved some of it by having the tires balanced on a Hunter GSP9700.

This car does have a certain amount of vibration that others do not. I seem to be more sensitive to it than other drivers. I've noticed my foot falling asleep if I drive for more than 45 minutes wth constant pedal 65-75 mph.

Do you drive with your right leg up agaginst the center console? I notice it a lot here as well.

Yeah, sometines I do rest my right leg against the right center console...

However, I should have mentioned that my tires are 235/45/18 Nitto The low profiles tires could contribute more to the vibrations. Anyone with same Nittos?

i get the same thing after i've changed my tires to the bridgestone potenza re730s. there are still 17's(235/45/17) but much more sticky, i think thats what attributes to the vibration, the fact that it hugs the road a lot better and tries to go with the grooves there which are not even. when there is a really bad groove on one side, i sometimes have to literally fight the wheel to go straight at slow speeds.

Seems odd that a gas pedal vibration would be caused by the tires/brakes.

I have a TL-S with 2600 miles on it and noticed that while cruising I also had a vibration at the gas pedal. My car is bone stock with the factory Michelins.

Nashua Night Hawk: Did you get your issue fixed and how?

The problem is still not resolved.

Vibrations are sometimes vert bad. Sometimes steering wheel vibrations are more noticeable. sometimes the gas pedal vibrates badly.

My best guess was the tires/brakes. I could be wrong. I would never thought that you would expect vibrations in the gas pedal in $30+ car!

I have to see what the dealer gona do..

Let me know if you can get that resolved.

You should call the city and check if NH is experiencing earthquakes

I've been having the same problems. I had a RIM replaced awhile ago because I had hit a pothole and bent the orginial RIM. Since then, I've had the alignment checked, tires balanced, rotors turned and I still have vibrations from the steering wheel. I'm about to go nuts. I don't know what else to do??
