For almost a year after purchase, I experienced problems with gas pedal
vibration on my Volvo C70. I took it back to the dealer many times with this
complaint. They would go with me for test drives but their answer was always
that there was nothing abnormal about the gas pedal vibration. Hello! A gas
pedal shouldn't vibrate! That in itself is abnormal! Anyway, after taking
the car in for one of its regularly scheduled maintenance sessions, they
changed the spark plugs and I haven't had the problem since.

I'm surprised they didn't tell you it was the new foot massage feature or
something like that...

You're right tho, it shouldn't vibrate, even on my diesel Golf the pedals
don't vibrate (everything else does tho)... And no vibes from our 960 either
(thru any surface... hard to tell if the engine is on in that car).
