I have a 2002 GLE and 98% of the time when I step on the gas i hear a click, kind of like a relay or switch. I went to my dealer and he "lubed it a little" saying it was an electronic throttle bla bla bla. Needless to say 2 days later click click click again.

Should I ask to have the throttle pedal swapped out under warranty or is this normal??

all i know is mine does the same thing.To fix it i turn my radio louder

 

I was getting the same kind of clicking sound whenever I pressed on the clutch. It did it for a day or two, then it stopped. Wierd. That ever happen to anyone?

 

OK, besides the "pump up the volume" solution anyone else have a recommendation?


Thanks,
Keith

 

I read a long time ago someone brought theirs in and complained and the whole pedal assembly was replaced as a "known problem."

Bring it back and don't leave until it's fixed.

 

Yeh, I was one of those who posted about that a long time ago. Just goto another dealer or keep going back to the same one till they fix it by replacing the entire assembly -- that's what they did to fix mine.

 

I think my dealer ordered the parts for me, I'll find out thursday, thanks for the input.

mine does the same also... very aggravating... so whats the problem... my deductable is 100 bucks so if its something i can do cheaper id rather do it that way....

 

Deductible? Are you out of the 3yr/36k mile warranty already?

I have no clue how much the part costs, but I'm assuming it'd be more than $100 as they have to replace the entire assembly. If you can live w/it & 1 sound isn't worth $100 than it won't hurt to just leave it as is IMO.

 

yea im at 46k.... i can deal with it but it can be annoying if the radio isnt up enough..lol... my extended warranty has the 100 deductable...

 

They better change it , the sound makes me nuts. Even if I turn up the volume on the stereo I can still "feel" the clicking in my foot.

Maybe I'm nuts already.
