gas pedal seems stiff

[calbear88]

Hello,

I have a 2012 Genesis 3.8L and the gas pedal seems a bit stiff. I'm having to push with a lot more force than I'm used to in order to get the car to accelerate, at least compared to my previous cars, a Lexus GS 300 and Toyota Corolla.

Just wondering if anyone else feels that their gas pedal is stiff and required a lot of force to push. Does it get better with time as the car gets more worn in?

Thanks,

Take it to your dealer and ask to test drive another Genesis and see how it compares.

My 11 Genesis 4.6's accelerator pedal seems no stiffer than my Lexus GS400. Definitely test drive another 3.8L '12. Good luck.

CalBear88, I just purchased a "certified pre-owned" Gen 4.6 with 19000 miles. I notice the same thing, the pedal seems a bit stiff and hard to modulate very small changes smoothly. I was prepared to lube the linkage but there is none. Did you resolve your issue?
