Why Is My Mazda Gas Pedal Hard to Push Down
New Mazda drivers often have questions or concerns about a sticking gas pedal in their vehicle. Reports from some of these drivers often indicate that the gas pedal can become more resistant when it is pushed down nearly all the way, causing some to ask, why is my Mazda gas pedal hard to push down? Some may also report a clicking occurring when the accelerator is pushed far enough. Though there are some vehicle problems that can cause a sticky or resistant gas pedal, many drivers are simply experiencing a Mazda feature known as the Accelerator Pedal Kickdown Switch.
