    Adjustable Pedal Problem

    I normally leave my pedals pretty much where they are, so I don't know how long this problem has existed. A couple of weeks ago I tried to adjust my pedals and they would only move about an inch or so. Not the several inches that they normally move. Any ideas?

    I had a similar problem with sticking pedals a while back. I very gently helped them come forward with my toes while I held the button down. Was just a little sticky. Have worked fine since.

    Any ideas when the pulling on the pedals idea does not cure it? Mine have worked fine, I was playing with them the other week, and today I tried to use them -- same problem. At first there was no movement at all, just one click each time I changed direction. After working back and forth, they now only move about an inch. WTF???? Some quality part these pedals are. I never use them but I don't want to leave them busted either. Is the assembly rebuildable?

    I've always just left mine in one position. I don't think if adjustable pedals was an option that I'd have ordered it.

Looks like there's been a serious splintering. I never thought it'd be possible for this to happen to a group of owners of a car model that sold no more than 14000 copies over 2 model years. Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.

    I don't "need" mine to work, but I don't like anything on the car being rendered brokey brokey. Some plastic teeth probably bit the dust? I'll take the assy out and see if it has any user serviceable parts (doubtful)
