Hey Michelle==It really depends on what kind of car but probably the clutch and brake pedals are binding where they pivot. and the accelerator is binding in the cable. Sometimes you have to completely remove them to properly lubricate them and replace the acc cable. GoodluckJoe losing presure in the rx-7 the clutch eases down to the floor Which pedal? If gas, I would lean toward a throttle bore cleaning.

If this is not something simple, like a floor mat getting caught up in the mechanical part of the brake system (pedal) then you have a major brake problem (failing master cylinder) and you need to get this looked at without delay. On anti-lock brake systems (ABS) this can also mean a failure of the ABS system. I would not suggest driving vehicle under any circumstances; the chances of killing yourself (or ME) on the road is very high.
