Default Accelerator Noises

For the last several weeks, I've noticed that my accelerator clicks and rattles when I tap it. Any ideas?

That noise may be an indication of a serious safety risk. You, or someone with appropriate knowledge, should visually inspect that area for the presence of foreign objects or failure of the accelerator mechanism.

For something like that, I would definitely recommend leaving your car with the dealership. That doesn't even sound safe to drive around with.

You've convinced me to visit the dealer tomorrow. Better safe than sorry. Thanks!
