Ford Fusion hybrid 2013 brake vibration

[Ktodd]

Does anyone experience sometimes a vibration on the brake pedal at low speed when engine comes on? It lasts a for a short time then engine smooths out

It seems odd that your foot is on the brake when the ICE comes on. Can you explain a little further?

[Ktodd]

My foot is not on the brake but u can feel the vibration when near it and hear engine. I am new to this type of car what is ICE?

[md13ffhguy]

Internal Combustion Engine, i.e. your gas engine. It's possible you're feeling it running, since the electric motor produces very little vibration, and the ICE may comparatively produce more.

How many miles on the car? ICE start is usually very smooth - to the point of not being noticeable. If yours is rough, could be that the ICE has issues like plugs or injector crud.

If there was an ignition or fuel problem there would be an indication on the panel. You shouldn't feel anything on the brake pedal. It's not connected to anything but a simulator.

When stopped, there is a barely noticeable shudder when the ICE starts but it is only for a fraction of a second. Stopping and starting of the ICE when moving is almost undetectable.
