Consumer Description

THE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATE CONSTANTLY BETWEEN 1600-1800 RPM'S. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A TRAIT OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER ONES AND THEY DO NOT SHOW THIS TRAIT. IT HAPPENS IN EVERY GEAR OF THE TRANSMISSION, BUT WHEN IN PARK THE PEDALS WON'T VIBRATE AT STATED RPM. AS THE LOAD ON THE VEHICLE INCREASE THE INTENSITY OF THE VIBRATION INCREASES. THE CONDITION IS VERY ANNOYING BECAUSE IT OCCURS AT NORMAL HIGHWAY AND CITY SPEEDS. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED, BUT THE MANUFACTURER SEEMS UNWILLING TO HELP. DT
