    Happy Hump Day All!

    So, I have this pulsing sound with vibration in the accelerator pedal between 45-55mph. It almost seems like something is rubbing, but it DOES NOT change tempo with increase or decrease of speeds. I first noticed it a few days after driving off the dealers lot. I thought it was variances in road surface but it is pretty consistent at those speeds.

    Thoughts?

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for replying!
    I Goggled the driveline and I don't think it is that. Most web pages said there was a shimmy and it could be felt in the seat at low speeds (15-25) with the driveline vibration.
    Mine situation is a hum at about the same tempo of a heart beat. I can hear it and feel it in the accelerator.
    Guess I'll need to take it to the dealer. :(
