i've heard of them being an issue on circuit boards, but on accelerator peddles??? 
i've heard of them being an issue on circuit boards, but on accelerator peddles??? We had similar issues on the space shuttle program as well with “tin whiskers” “growing” on circut boards for the main engine controllers. Not a good thing. And, I don’t know for sure but, do modern vehicles actually still have cables that go straight to the fuel supply? (Man am I gettin’ old or what?) ‘69 Road Runner had direct linkage to carb but do today’s cars just send a signal to a controller that sends a signal to the injector supply module or whatever? If they had a “volt” they probably wouldn’t have had this problem. Mainly because the battery would probably have crapped out before this could have happened. LOL! In addition, my scrip to motor trend just ran out.
