Remember that guy that would always wear an RX-7 Rotor as a pendant?

Seems Mitsu has their version.



Seriously, it sucks, $41K for a new car, and you get shafted that bad, there's no excuse for that. On top of that, a Plastic pedal set... to me that's not a wholly good idea for those of us that live in places that get a real winter. Hopefully, it'll get fixed, I feel bad when guys get @!#$ like that.

"Maybe I was trying to push the pedal to China....which seems to be where it was made"

He says the car is running 8:1 afr and the dealer seems to think that's cool?

I'm glad the Evos in Grand Tourismo have better reliability. Maybe that's where the holy reputatiuon actually stems from.

Did you know that the CEO was once brought up on charges for ignoring necessary recalls.

the issue here is that the pedal's travel stops before the "floor" so it stresses the plastic where it connects to the car... and repeated stress = snap

what i wanna know is who was the genius who said to them selfs ... you know what lets make the peddles out of plastic
apparently people don't realize that plastic can break... why in gods name would they skimp out in probably one of the most important parts of the car..... wow talk about cheap

better the gas pedal than the brake pedal... Seems like a pretty scabby way to design something if you ask me

Now that's scary.

My gas pedal has a little left/right play, but I'd rather have no gas than no brakes... unless I'm merging onto the highway :\

I have yet to see a GM pedal snap like that. then again I dont work in a GM dealer anymore. The brake is not as common but is out there.

Yeap most pedal's are plastic, I've yet to see one snap or even come close to braking, and we've got some crazy crap that comes in here.
