  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Is this normal, do they have some kind of button at the end of the pedal? There's definitely a notch or something that it hits before you can floor it. Just wondering if everyone has this or I need to have it checked..
 
You have found the kickdown "switch"
 
^^ That's the "give it the beans" activating. Drops to the lowest gear that doesn't red line as far as I can tell.
 
Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
I've noticed something like that, too. In the first half of pedal travel, the car accelerates like a fancy luxury car. There is a little resistance in the pedal travel, and when you get past that, the car takes off, like a rocket.

I just found this too

I think many of us are curious as to the source of it. Never saw anything like that
