vibration issue

The problem I'm having is a vibration in the gas pedal when accelerating. It only happens under 2000 rpms and that's it . Has anyone had this problem ? Thanks for any help or pointing me in the right direction .

Maybe it's just vibration from a bent rim that gets transferred to the pedal or your front end suspension. Or your rotors are worn or on incorrectly. Try taking off the wheel and shake your control arm, outter tie rod and brake assembly. Maybe if you're lucky you'll get a free play

Can also be a bad wheel bearing.

can also be bad brake pads, transmission, loose pedal, engine vibration from bad motor mounts, exhaust vibration, pretty much anything loose, engine gnomes, etc.

forgot to mention that the vibration i feel in the gas pedal as well as the steering wheel slightly. also this happens no matter what speed i'm going as long as the rpms are between 1500-2000 but goes away after 2000 rpms. could it be the motor mounts are going bad? i don't feel them moving when i accelerate hard.
