Suggestion
gave me epic advice: "go down to the hardware store, get a small 2 1/2" long piano hinge and six sheet metal screws and you should be good to go." The fix lasted 4 more track days and was still going strong when I replaced the unit.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone broken an accelerator pedal??? I've broken two. Specifically, there's a metal rod with ***** on both ends that snaps into a plastic receptacle on the underside of the pedal. The receptacle is broken (2nd time in 6 months). Has this happened to anyone else???? Is this a week part or am I doing something wrong?

POST 2Original post

Four years with my 2003 C2 and 3 years with two Boxsters and never had a problem with the accelerator linkage. Do you stomp down hard on the pedal?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I don't think I am, but I must be doing something wrong if this isn't a common problem.

POST 4Original post

Quotes source post: 4515915

Yes. I was going down a hill a few months ago not even on the throttle and when I got back on, the pedal went absolutely limp to the floor. I just put her in neutral and coasted to the bottom of the hill and called roadside assistance. Fixed under warranty; the cause according to the repair order: "accelerator cable broken". Ruined my whole day... Zed 2004 GT3

POST 5Original post

I've never heard this issue, but breaking pedal twice is a bit odd

POST 6Original post

I broke my throttle pedal at the lower plastic connection while at Watkins Glens. Dan J. gave me epic advice: "go down to the hardware store, get a small 2 1/2" long piano hinge and six sheet metal screws and you should be good to go." The fix lasted 4 more track days and was still going strong when I replaced the unit. You can not replace only the pedal, you have to buy the entire E-Gas assembly $$$. I believe hitting it too hard (and laterally) with my flawed heel+toe method is what broke the bottom mount. I can absolutely imagine breaking another one now that I know all the fittings are only plastic.............
