Yes I've searched Odyclub and didn't really find any one else with
this problem. As for the adjustment well it was replaced by a factory
technician at the dealer every time.
I took it out only this last weekend to see if I could find any
problem with the installation.
Kind of hard to mess up.. just screws through the peddle support
bracket.. but I will have to get a manual and see how far the factory
recommends.
this is my wife van and she drive @30 miles a day to work and back,
doesn't drive with her foot on the brake and not a hole lot of start
stop driving.
I guess I pay and get another one.

One thing I did find out when I had the switch out.
It is a plastic base and a metal end (with the threads and push
button) I hit on the metal end and must of freed up the contacts
inside because not it works..
