What’s Wrong
Within the mechanism of the accelerator pedal there is a friction lever which interacts with a sliding surface. Over time and under certain conditionsthe contact surfaces may generated excessive friction and latterly the movement of the accelerator pedal. This over time and under certain conditions will result in the accelerator pedal becoming intermittently more difficult to push; or slower to return. In rare instances the accelerator pedal can remain in the partially depressed position.
