Q: Vibration, but only at highway speeds.
Over the past couple of months, I've noticed a vibration (engine? tranny? other?) that I can feel in the accelerator pedal when I'm at highway speeds and increasing speed to pass another vehicle. As a passenger the vibration can be felt but it is a bit more subtle. I'm guessing it is the foot connection to the accelerator pedal that enhances the feeling. I do not feel the vibration except on the highway. I thought that maybe it was an issue when accelerating, but, if I am getting ON TO the freeway and accelerating from say 25 mph to 60 mph I don't really feel/sense the vibration. But, once I'm up to 60-70 mph and put the pedal down to pass another vehicle it is very distinct. I will feel the vibration when I accelerate from 70 to 75, but I can then "cruise" at 75 mph and NOT feel the vibration. Thank you for your thoughts, insight and wisdom.

Hello. This can be caused by a number of things. I usually start by checking the tire balance. If the balance is off, then this will occur. If the balance is fine, then I check the engine mounts and the CV axles. If it has a worn out engine mount or a worn CV axle joint, then this will occur. Both of these are common issues on this vehicle that will occur over time.
