“Inspect Accelerator Pedal” every 7500mi?

As Tom Hanks said in the Dragnet remake, "It's the vertical pedal on the right. IT MAKES THE CAR GO!"

Uh oh.....I may have violated a copyright or something.

Remember Billy Shatner in Star Trek I think “A Piece of the Action?” He and Spock were trying to drive a car and it was such a primitive machine Kirk was having trouble

Something the average owner is going to do?

@dogememe Is this list from the owner's manual?

No it’s from the service data at oreilly lol.

Good one. It's set on a planet where people live similar to on Earth's Chicago during the 1920s. Kirk and Spock wear fedoras and carry Tommy guns. Episodes like that were a cost-saving measure because existing sets and wardrobe from other productions could be reused.

It’s also called a “foots feed” in South Cackalacky.

One of Mom's Volvo's had a plastic gas pedal that snapped off. I drove an Explorer rental once and the pedal felt mushy. It was plastic and hanging by a thread.

Good point, maybe someone stuck in there due to an "special coverage" on breakage of the plastic accelerator pedals on other GM vehicles: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10126143-9999.pdf
