One does not make any noise, but the other makes a clicking noise as if the switch is barely in the closed state with 1mm play. For the test, I'm wedging in some paper and use masking tape to offset the height and the click sound isn't there anymore.

thanks for the direction.

I checked and both 'click' when I push them. It does seem though that perhaps this an electrical issue - that is, the acceleration is being limited because the ECM senses that the brake is on. Unfortunatley, it is random so will try the dealer to see what they say. I can almost anticipate the 'cannot duplicate owners issue'.
