ltk Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I have a 2002 Impreza, app 49,000 miles. I feel a vibration in the gas pedal, more so at higher speeds. I also just noticed that the vibration is occurring in the brake pedal but only when completely stopped. They found I needed 1 engine mount and 1 trans mount and said that was the problem. I had that taken care of but the vibration is still there and getting worse. I know its not normal and this may sound petty but I really can't stand the feeling of the vibration on my foot during long rides-it's driving me crazy!! The car does not vibrate--it's only coming from the gas and brake pedals. Any ideas--I take the car back to the service station Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 hrmm. Does the vibration change with vehical speed or engine RPM. Personally I would have looked at rotors, wheels (rotate them and see if it moves), CV joints, wheel bearing. Car seems awfully young for bad mounts. Have you taken the mnechanic for a ride to show him? nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcspeer Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I was thinking rotors also, but I dont know why that would have any effect on the gas pedal. I know their is a lot of towns named Clifton, are you from the one in Texas? I only live around 22 miles from that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltk Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 I'm going to the mechanic tomorrow and will mention the things suggested. But at the the suggestion of a coworker I did the following. With the car in park I put one foot touching the gas pedal and one foot touching the brake. The vibration is coming through both. One other thing--I know this is going to sound like a stupid question but I know very little about the mechanics of a car. Could it be the ABS? It was suggested that there might be a problem with the ABS. It might be erroneously sensing one of the wheels rotating incorrectly and attempting to make an adjustment on the other wheels. I have not a clue what this person was talking about. BTW-I'm in NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Its not the abs. Let us know what the mechanic says. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
