The so-called sticking of the accelerator pedal is a very unpleasant malfunction that occurs when driving. The pedal remains in the depressed position, with the result that when the “throttle” lever is released, the car continues to accelerate or the engine speed increases. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells about the owners of which cars can experience such problems.
The problem of holding the accelerator pedal began to be dealt with by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It was she who revealed similar problems in a number of Toyota models. For example, such a popular crossover as RAV4. All vehicles affected by the recall were produced between November 2005 and November 2009. Since there are many such used SUVs in Russia, we recommend that you pay attention to the condition of the “throttle lever”.
By the way, after the Japanese conducted an investigation, they found out that the anesthetic occurs in the friction mechanism of the structure. A special pad that provides resistance when you press the throttle can stick and the pedal is locked in a partially depressed position. Toyota said it would fit a steel cladding into the mechanism.
Toyota Avensis owners, which went off the assembly line from November 2008 to December 2009, may have similar problems.
The same watchdog identified problems with Dodge Caliber vehicles produced in 2006. More than 161,000 cars were recalled with a possible malfunction of the accelerator pedal, which “can stick if pressed and not return to its original position.” By the way, a lot of Caliber has been brought to our country, so the information is more than relevant.
Russian drivers noticed characteristic problems even with such a popular crossover as the first generation Renault Duster. This car has a nuance that if the “French” is with an “automatic”, then the accelerator pedal is electronic. The reason lies in the pollution of the accelerator pedal. It is cleaned and adjusted. Then the symptoms disappear.
But Logan has a classic cable drive. Cable wear can cause the pedal to take on a life of its own. Therefore, we advise owners of the first generation sedans to exercise caution.
