No but my wipers move when I brake! LOL. Seriously, I don't feel that at all in my '09 FX4. Very strange.

I posted this concern on another F150 forum and the response was that this is common on 04-08 models. I am the only one, as far as I know, that has experienced this on an 09.

Just payed attention to it just now when I ran to the store... mine does it in my 2009. Just a small vibration you can feel through the pedal. I've had other cars in the past that do the same thing.

Glad it's not just me. Probably does it on all the new trucks, but as you said, it's "just a small vibration". Thanks for checking newblue.

I think the root of the concern, is that Ford has made these truck so damn quiet, and so smooth... that even the SMALLEST thing is noticed.

I haven't used my wipers yet, but you are correct about them being so quiet you notice everything.

No kidding. I was driving on the highway the other day... probably the first time I was on the highway going 75+ in the new truck. I started hearing what I thought was wind noise coming from the front left window area. It was actually pretty annoying, so I was starting to get depressed! Then I realized my wife had closed both of her air vents, and the air noise was coming from the air trying to flow through a closed vent. Opened them both up a crack, and back to wonderful highway silence!

How you do think I feel, I just came out of a Cummins with 5" exhaust tube. You could hear me for 5 miles. The first week I had my new truck, I was checking to make sure it was running. There was no noise or rumble when I stopped at a light. I have finally gotten use to it, the lack of sound. Chris

Yes I have noticed this as well! It does not bug me but its great for someone to mention it! I too use to have a Duramax diesel and I do not miss the noise form the diesel! I do miss the whistle of the turbo!!!!! O'well mayby a supercharger would fix that LOL.

This is also my first anoyance. I see this is an old post but this is the only thing I have found that bothers me in an incredible truck. Since other people have the same issue I wont cry to the dealer about it. It is weird though. Did I happen to mention an incredible truck !!!!!
