Stereo sending vibrations through gas pedal.

[Wbrook24]

Really a bit of a nit pick but any music with some base sent vibrations through the gas pedal and into my foot. I had some hushmat

pieces left over from putting a couple panels under the front floor mats. I cut a thin piece and put it on the arm of the gas pedal. It reduced it enough that I dont notice it any more. Not super clean looking so might re-do it later. Just figured if it annoyed anyone else this works.

Lol I used to pay extra to get that feature when I was younger

Ha. Me too but something about the plastic gas pedal with no rubber foot pad made the vibrations more noticeable.

I always thought extra bass was felt in your backside or your butt, not in your foot. Learned something new here.

I feel it in the steering wheel too...

The first thing I had to do was turn the bass way down on mine. The thump makes my head hurt.

Same here. Going to experiment with that as well.

I've run into this quite a bit, as a mechanic it always makes me worry for a split second cause I'm thinking "great what gear or bearing just died in my drive train to cause THAT vibration"
Then I remember it's an electronic gas pedal and I'll never actually feel feedback in it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah, so it's not just me. Had the Beatles station on and a Paul McCartney song came on and my steering column reverberated. I thought what the heck, then realized yeah, it kept time with the bass in the songs!

It's a Jeep thing, get over it.......
There, I said it for ya - but it must be because mine does it too! LOL

 

[DocMike]

So I'll say it....y'all should name your Jeep....Skrillex....cause it dropped the bass.

Yep. I understand why they do it but I do miss the old mechanical linkage stuff. My last jeep was a 95 YJ. Was a bit surprised by how much it vibrated from the music but I didn't set out to fix it. I just had some extra sound deadening material left and figured "why not".

That comment makes me laugh sometimes. Sure there are times where it applies but messing with/altering our vehicles is a "jeep thing". Just don't ask why it doesn't handle like an e46 M3.

ps. Not referencing the wonky steering some are experiencing. They are replacing my steering box on monday.
