Vibrating gas pedal?

[graemega]

Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum so I hope I'm posting in the right section.

I bought a 99 explorer xlt a few weeks ago, and so far i'm loving it! Although, I don't know if i'm just noticing it now or if its always done this, but my gas pedal vibrates when I'm accelerating just a little bit, almost like a cell phone vibrating through a few t-shirts.

Its a small vibration, but a little annoying. I've browsed around the forum and I got the impression that this is just a "Ford thing", that most of them do this. I drove a taurus and it vibrated alot, especially on hills, but it was a rental I had for only a few days.

I don't think this is anything wrong with the car because my mechanic did a full tune up and alot of other service. Just checking up with fellow ford explorer owners if yours does this and if there is anything that can be done to dampen it a bit, i'm thinking about making a rubber dampener to put on the pedal somewhere. Thanks guys!

Anyone? Even a simple yes, my car does this or no, my car doesn't would help... I thought it was more common but maybe i will take it in.

Mine does this from time to time too. I just thought it was normal.

i feel it in my 01 as well, but not as severe as a cell phone vibration

My 2002 explorer's gas peddle vibrates as well, its just a truck thing. I find most trucks I have driven do this as well. I actually prefer the vibrating gas peddle. I can actually tell precisely when the transmission up shifts by the amount of vibration in the gas peddle.

yes it is normal, suppose to be that way.
