Has anyone else noticed this?

When I have my foot on the pedal I feel an occasional thumping/vibration feedback coming thru the gas pedal. I mentioned it to my dealer and they said to wait a few more months since it's a weird problem to see what if anything develops. It doesn't happen all the time and is very hard to explain. Sometimes I think it's just me, but I am feeling it more and more.

Those of you who own the H3, let me know if you feel any feedback in your gas pedal (or am I just losing my mind)?

I get the same thing. First I thought it was the stereo, but I think it is the stabilitrak system adjusting the wheels.

Stabilitrak better not be doing anything unless it is needed such as you are starting to loose it. The system works like ABS, does not start operating unless it is required.

It's not an audible sound, I am referring to the "feeling" of the pedal against my foot.

I was thinking of test driving another H3 to see if it has the same issue. It may be just the way the gas pedal linkage is designed.

In two months and 6,000 plus miles I haven't experienced any of that. I do drive in my boots a lot, but in sneakers on our long driving vacation I didn't notice that at all, however, the cruise control was on 75% of the time.

I also noticed today that when I turn my steering wheel at low speeds or when stopped that the wheel makes a groaning sound. Sounds like a dying animal.

Mine has the same vibrations. In mine if you come to a stop and then fluctuate the brake pedal letting the H3 start moving and then a quick stop it will repeat time and time again. My 2000 Silverado had a steering shaft that kept losing grease and would cause a popping. This vibration I feel is similar yet different. It is almost as if something is vibrating and hitting either the gas/brake pedals or the steering column or both.

When I get a chance this week I plan to go ahead and do an oil change (1500 miles). While I'm under there I'm going to feel around and see if I can find anything loose that may be causing the vibration. If I can't find it I'll be taking mine into the dealer to look at it.

power steering pumps make the noise because of all the weight your moving with that set-up (wait for a cold morning) the brakes should not do that. have dealer check rotors and brakes. It is posiable something was put in worng.

Last night when I went to Lowes. I drove barefooted, just to see if I could feel what you are talking about. Not a thing, zilch! Did you know it's illegal to drive barefooted in a lot of states? Crazy isn't it. The only slight vibration or buzz I get is when I stop and cut the wheels all the way, from the steering pump, at that's normal. I'd chalk it up to PFM.

Yeah it's a weird problem. I don't feel it all the time, however I have noticed that it seems to be the worst right after I go off-roading. When I pull out onto the street from the dirt field the feeling is the most apparent for the next 10 miles.

Well I now think that I can reproduce the issue. It is not related to the gas pedal. There is something loose in the the front end. When I am off-road in little bumps you can hear a clunk-clunk. And when I come off the dirt onto the road it continues and is very easy to hear just by driving around. It gets less noticeable the more you drive. But this defintely doesn't seem normal to me. If the dealer has any issues the next time I bring it in I can take the tech out for a short drive and easily reproduce the sound and feeling. So I am bringing it in for service first thing on Monday.

I did not have any vibrations until after about 2500 miles, but there definitely is a vibration felt through the gas pedal.

I have been out of town for a week. Nothing new to report here. My H3 still has the same vibration/rattle issue.

Is it a side to side vibration or a front to back vibration?

Mine has vibration thur the pedal. I think my cause is the road, the vibration changes with the change in the pavement. I feel it through the pedal more than any other truck I've driven
