First Annoying Concern

I have noticed when I have the windshield wipers on, and am stopped at a light, I can feel the wipers movement in the brake pedal. Anyone else notice this?

The 2004 generation did the same thing. At least mine did from the day I owned it. I wouldn't worry about it

My 06 did it as well, it was discussed alot on the 04-08 forums. Not big deal, well nothing to worry about anyway. Its just because everything is mounted on the firewall.

A slight "pulse" type of surge through the gas/brake pedal when the wiper starts/stops from the bottom position. If the wipers are on intermittent you would feel it when they start off and when they come back to the stop position.
