Is it dangerous to drive with a sticky or faulty accelerator pedal?

Yes, unpredictable or sticking throttle response is a serious safety concern — have this diagnosed and repaired promptly rather than continuing to drive.

Can the pedal be cleaned instead of replaced?

On electronic pedals, cleaning can sometimes resolve sticking symptoms, but a persistent fault after cleaning usually means the internal sensor has failed.

What is the pedal made of?

A metal or plastic pedal arm on a pivot, with either a cable connection or an integrated electronic position sensor.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
