floor vibration

When I first start off, I feel this vibration under my left foot for a few seconds and then never again for the whole ride. Probably something sequencing or pressurizing; any thoughts ?

I have felt this too and there was another thread about it a month or so ago.

Do you get several thumps and then it goes away?

Mine has done it since day 1. It is very consistent and always happens under the same configuration. Do you have power steering? This is a theory of mine of what it is.

Or a purge valve? (Was posted earlier) Nothing wrong, it said.

I have the Passion model and yes it does have power assisted steering. To clarify, the vibration is like three or four thumps or bumps through the floor. Very light, no sound.
