After driving the tsx for a few weeks now, I've noticed a bit of play in the gas pedal. It'll move around forward and back a bit without actually doing anything/giving the engine gas. There's no resistance from the pedal in this dead zone either; it moves freely, as if something's loose.

Anybody heard of this? or know what could be wrong?

I'd take it to the dealer if it's really a concern.

Sorry, but I just have to laugh at TommySalami

Not much of a concern, it's just hella-annoying

Mine is the same way. I just assumed it was normal.

I think im gonna call the dealership in an hour or so to get it fixed. I'll let you know what went wrong, if they tell me

Good luck! Hopefully it's normal/not a big deal.

All cars have this.

You mean all Acuras? Because my dad's bmw doesn't have this, his old mercedes (got rid of it a week ago) doesn't have this, and it's the same type of pedal.

I just took a look at it with a flashlight and saw the problem. There's a little gap in between this part that pulls on a wire, and the part of the wire that it pulls on. It's basically a wire with a bolt on the end, and a ring connected to the pedal and going around the wire that pulls on this bolt. The gap is in between the two of these.

I could probably fix it on my own by putting a thin rubber washer in the gap, but I want to get some gold emblems put on so I might as well have them fix it the right way at the same time.
