Has anyone experienced a click from your gas pedal when pushed to the floor. If so has anyone had it addressed at the dealership? Any help would be appreciated.
Gas Pedal Clicking

Mazda's accelerator kickdown switch.
"Should you want to unleash the full power and performance capabilities of your vehicle, however, you can easily do so. The Accelerator Pedal Kickdown Switch can be activated by simply continuing to apply pressure to the pedal. As you feel the pedal become resistant, continue to push a little bit harder until you feel a click. This activates full acceleration rather than maximizing fuel efficiency."

Correct and it works👍
Yes. I have a two month old cx30 automatic UK spec and just recently started to hear this click Depending on how you look at it, unfortunately it not constant and is intermittent I have to say that the car I test drove prior to purchase sounded like it did have signs of it too
I will be keeping a eye on it and on this forum to determine my next move .

I have heard the clicking when car was stationary. I was updating software and had foot actually on the brake. It did it a good few times within a minute. I thought I had broken it! Not heard it since.

Mazda has had the kickdown switch for years. Most drivers don’t push the peddle to the floor so most don’t find it.
In some other brands it does a few more tricks like down shifting when it is hit but not Mazda.
Perfectly normal and should always happen in the last 1/4 inch or so.

There is no actual point beyond a gimmick. It gives the driver the feeling that they found more power then they thought existed before when it stopped before the extra tension.
i tried that today getting on to the freeway it works.
