“But why not fix it?”…Good question - I guess my answer to that is if I can get information that says a failure would be a soft failure that would leave the vehicle in a safe condition, I would wait to see if the error code reappeared. The error code only showed up twice and has not yet come back. It could be that replacing the APP sensor wouldn’t fix the problem if there’s another source such as a loose connector or electrical noise. That’s why I’m asking if anyone knows what happens if the APP sensor fails.
I did have the recall work done several years ago on the pedal shape and carpets that were the potential sources of the unexplained accelerations.
