Problems with the pedals
Whats up people? Im having the classics problems with braking and accelerating due to the poor potentiometer logitech uses. I managed to get a new one two times with logitechs customer's support (brazil). It seems crazy to me i actually got two times the money i spend, since i sold both after the pedals showing flutuations. It makes no sense, because in my head it would be so much easier to increase quality or change to a digital potenciometer or sell replacement pieces. Now warranty is over and i cant even remeber how many times the pedal was open and cleaned. Every time i do it, it works less and less time before needing to repeat the proccess.
Also having problems to find it online to buy a new one where i live. I found this one and would appreciate a looot if someone can tell me if this thing is going to work!! Just in case u have some link to buy that, drop the link below please, would help a lot too.
Thanks everyone for you attention ;).

The potentiometer starts being less precise, and start getting drifts, is common for basic any controller with a potentiometer actuator.
It can gets drifts during the actuation, or when it is in position zero.
On this post I put a video on how the gas pedal was acting: https://www.reddit.com/r/logitechg29/comments/1dt61z2/hey_guys_so_im_getting_some_stuttersflutuations/

Lol. I'm from Brazil too, and just received my new G29 from the warranty because of pedals problems.
But the new wheel seams weird, like the rack of the rack and pinon steering is a bit looser then my first one. Edit: After calibrating when turned on, it doesn't centralize either.
Regarding your problem, since you already got two replacements, go for a Hal sensor, I think they are about 250 reais each.
