1. A pedal apparatus for a vehicle comprising:
a pedal arm coupled to a pedal housing such that the pedal arm is rotatable with respect to a first axis by an actuating force applied to a pedal pad disposed at a distal end of the pedal arm;
a pressing member for applying a force to a proximal end of the pedal arm in response to the pedal arm being rotated;
a pedal reaction force generating unit disposed between the pedal arm and the pressing member to generate a pedal reaction force corresponding to the actuating force;
a first friction member disposed at the pressing member to contact the proximal end of the pedal arm; and
a second friction member disposed at the proximal end of the pedal arm to contact an inner surface of the pedal housing,
wherein the first friction member and the second friction member are disposed to face each other with respect to the first axis.
