I've had my g27 wheel for around 4 months now but today my gas pedal is messed up. I don't even have to touch the gas pedal and Gran Turismo 6 thinks I am hitting the gas and going half throttle but when I try to hit the gas it doesn't do anything and still keeps going half throttle. At first I thought it was a GT6 glitch but I jumped on GT5 and another racing game and it did the same thing. Could my pedals be broke or is it just a sensor problem.
 
Forget about warrantee as Logitech are **** in this department at least in Australia they are, now lets see first I'd get the terminology correct , when I learned to drive it was called the Accelerator.
Now your problem is most likely related to dust and or a failure of the 10 K Pot that forms the basis of the control axis in question. I'd attack the simplest solution first and go down to your local electronics store and get 2 things a can of Compressed Air and a small can of Electrolube which is an electrical equivelant of WD40 (PLEASE DO NOT USE WD40 - It WILL kill the pot) clean out all the fluff from socks and skin particles from feet and dirt etc and then apply a squirt of Electrolube into the Pot and cycle it a few times then check how it is responding within your console or PC .

Odd they have been delight to deal with for me.

By that I mean don't try to deal with Logitech themselves, perhaps they have lifted their game too !! Last I had anything to do with them directly was some 6 years ago.

Reseller's like Dick Smith and so on may well claim back from Logitech after exchanging with a purchaser but my dealings with Logitech Australia have not been good so I simply do not deal with them.
