Pedal cover problems. Anyone having any?

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?

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.

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

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.

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.
