Vibration in pedals due to wipers being on

Hey, does anyone out there have the same problem? When I put my wipers on, I feel the vibration of the wipers in my brake pedal and gas pedal. However, it is worse in the brake pedal. It is really annoying when it is raining. I cant figure it out. I might have a talk with the dealer.

Yeah its very annoying. For some reason it seems like the firewall is vibrating from the wipers. The brackets for the pedals are bolted to the firewall. It would be nice if there was some rubber bushings.

Had a somewhat similiar problem with a 82 Buick Riviera.Everytime I touched the brakes,the wipers came on and the radio changed stations.Evidentally caused by a bare wire in the bundle.

Hey everyone, I went to the dealer yesterday and I tested a bunch of new 2004 f-150s for the same problem. It was on everyone of them. All the pedals vibrate with the wipers. At least I'm not the only one. Doesn't anyone else have this problem or is it just this dealership?
