Defect Summary: The coating used to protect the accelerator pedal shaft is incompatible with the bronze bushing through which the shaft passes. Over time, and in the presence of a corrosive environment (water, road salt), the shaft can corrode inside the bushing increasing the amount of friction between the rotating shaft and the stationary bushing.
