Trackpad's haptic feedback not working

Hi, I own a 2017 13" Macbook Pro and like 2 months ago all of sudden the haptic feedback for the click stopped responding I checked every setting, resetting nvram and SMC to no avail. It came back out of nowhere about a month ago and after 2 or 3 days left again. Force touch is still working and detecting pressure, just the vibration's missing. Any idea why? and any of you has faced a similar situation?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14

Resetting NVRAM should be the go to way of resolving the issue.

If no luck there, I would verify your preference settings:

Short of that I suspect you have a hardware issue—In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment
