I have a 2009 LX and I have been experiencing a vibration in the gas pedal on acceleration. Its not horrible, however it would be great if I could find the culprit and get it fixed. Has anyone else had this type of issue and if so what was the cause. The LX has 96K if that helps. Thanks in advance.

no one else has had this issue?

Sorry but of all the LX units I have owned, never had any vibration.

I do remember getting into my first LX570 after driving my LX470 and you could actually feel the motor on the 570 where the 470 you were so isolated you hardly knew it was running. The 470 was a very refined vehicle.

Hope you find the problem.

Exactly. That is what it feels like. More of a motor vibration than road or other. Mainly it is on acceleration rather than normal cruising. I guess I have been spoiled in previous vehicles.

I like feeling the power

The vibration is so slight but to me there is no doubt the motor was more isolated on the 470 compared to the 570. But I would not go back to anything. Unless there is something wrong the vibration you are feeling will become a non-issue after a while.

The only other SUVs I have owned to compare it to were a BMW X5 and a Toyota Highlander. Both never had this issue, and both were 6's and not an 8.

I do not think the size of the motor has as much to do with it as the throttle linkage or how it it physically connected to the motor. Some vehicles the throttle is fly by wire, not so sure the LX is not one of those.

Been that way since 2003 in the LX's

Thanks gentlemen for putting my mind at ease
