Hi, I have a customer with a complaint that the pedal covers they bought are causing problems with the brake light coming and the cruise deactivation due to the extra weight of the covers. Has anyone had this problem and if so were you able to correct the situation?

 

sounds sketchy to me they can't weigh that much more, which kind are they?

 

they are the GM accessory pedals.

 

something you might be able to to is weight them and compare them to the stock ones. It doesn't seem like a true story. It caould also be their pedal sensors or srpings that aren't doing their job properly. Just my thoughts on it.

 

Make sure the customer isn't riding the clutch as well if its a manual. These cars have a clutch anticipation switch that kicks off the cruise IIRC.

I seriously doubt pedal covers are causing this.

 

i have no problem with them, installed them myself. there is little to no weight differnce in between the stock pads and the gm accessory ones.

 

no that won't cause the brake light to come on that's for the e-brake its a cobalt thing from what ive relized alot of people are havig that problem it happened to me a couple times it just blink on for a sec and goes off heard a little about chevy might be correcting it

 

Ive got the GM aluminum pedals , and 0 problems for me . Like was said before , theres virtually no weight diff at all .

 

Tell him to quit dragging his foot against the brake pedal while driving.

 

Thanks everyone, I will be contacting TAC today and douple check what problems they are having as well if they have a fix for it.

 

I put the pedal covers on myself.... no problems here.

 

You can hear the sensor in the clutch pedal kick in about 75% of the way down. I would only really see the brake pedal cover causing the problem.

 

I had one problem when i put the brake one on, the lever that controls the breaks came un alined, and my breaks where sticking...... took it down to the shop and they re adjusted it and no problems ever since........

 

I've had no problems with my pedals.
except for putting those damn things on. what a pain

 

The pedal covers are not at fault. The Red brake light coming on is a programing fault in the IPC( instument panel console). The cruise deactination may be caused by the brake switch being out of adjustment. I have had a few compiants on Cobalts and HHRs for this.

 

i always wanted the pedals, but it looks like too much work to install em.
seems some people have the problem, and some dont.
