I've posted about this before. For me, the vibration is at moderate throttle, seems to be more prominent in 3rd and 4th gear at around 2200-2500 rpm.


Very annoying!

I have the exact same issue. I have been setting my cruise control so I don't feel it. mine is random as well. I cannot pinpoint any rpm or gear or anything that makes it better or worse. It just comes and goes.

Yes I'm a big fan of cruise control too and I've set it to "forget" the vibration too. However I have a fair amount of suburban driving and there's no getting around it there.

Sounds like a resonance condition. If so, it may be influenced by either changing the structure's spring constant, its mass, or its damping. I'd start with changing the damping of the pedal, perhaps by tightening (or loosening) the pivot/hinge.

Of course this is pure speculation and worth every penny that you've paid for it. Also coming from someone that doesn't yet have his f150 (10 weeks and waiting .....grrr, grumble, bitch, grrrr), so I've neither experienced it nor have a good handle on the pedal design/structure; just some general experience with such things.

Good luck with it and thanks for posting your observations. Please follow up with a description on how you solve the issue. -S51

I just got mine and on way home I noticed some sort of vibration too put in sport mode went away. I think it so from in regular mode the truck goes into 6 the gear at low rims and speeds. Just a guess I only put 25 miles on it so far.

I just took the truck down the interstate and felt the vibration most at 70mph. I also downshifted to 5th and then 4th at the same speed and the vibration was still there. Seems to do it more as the engine gets warmed up too.

I would call mine a shudder more than a vibration.

Please see this post. https://www.f150forum.com/f118/ecobo...00-rpm-296173/

Toward the bottom, it says iceboats, but that was a function of autocorrect. It should be ecoboost. Looks like they've acknowledged an issue on previous models.

Yep. I didn't see your topic or I would have chimed in myself. I noticed if i use cruise control I can still feel it through the floor boards though not as bad. Interestingly I don't feel anything through the seat or steering wheel. I dunno. I PMd the Ford rep but haven't heard back. I guess I will just keep driving it for now. I hate to be the guinea pig that has his truck get diagnosed for 2 weeks.

Some people mention a shudder but this is not a shudder on mine. It's a vibration / grinding feel.
