Brake pedal vibration when stopped in Drive

Has anyone had a fix or heard any info from Nissan on this issue?
I have a 2007 Versa that does NOT do this but the 2010 Versa I just purchased has a vibrating (pulsing) brake pedal when I am stopped in gear and have my foot on the pedal. You can actually hear it chattering. Putting the car in neutral will stop the vibration completely.


Thanks

this is an odd problem. If it doesn't do it in neutral but does it in gear it would seem to be a transmission issue. Maybe just a clutch issue. What did the dealer say about it? Keep us updated.
I've had this problem too.. I'm actually changing my transmission fluid today. I'll see if that changes anything..
Yeah my CVT does this as well, it's even worse when I activate electronics, etc, probably a different vibration. I am going to get things checked out by Nissan at some point.

Didn't help the vibration..
Check the motor mounts...

Thats what I was thinking. My mom used to have a Mazda 626 and it did it til my dad replaced the tranny mount.

First thing I thought when I started reading!

I know the car seems too new, but I'd still check the mounts. It sounds like it to me, this is what our Astro did and it needed a new transmission mount and one of the motor mounts.
What's involved in checking them anyway?

EDIT:
Engine mounts seem easy enough to check but the transmission mounts?!
rock the whole engine manually front to back, listening/feeling for any clunks/sloppiness. Compare to another V if u can, or ask a mechanic to take a minute to check for ya

Ok A litttle self diagnosis found the issue. Its the idle speed of my 2010 Versa vs the 2007. When in D with my foot on the brake, my 2010 idles at 600 RPM. My 2007 idles at 800-850. The low idle speed is definitly causing the vibration. If I increase RPM on my 2010 to 800 RPM while holding brake pedal down the brake pedal vibration stops. Anyone know how to adjust idle on the Versa?
