Honestly, I think most cars nowadays have plastic pedals. My '97 Tib does. Regardless, they do what they're supposed to do just fine (make the car go and stop).

I made my own diamond-plated aluminum pedals. It feels like I'm driving a rally car! Now only if it were faster and had all wheel drive...HUM.

My pedals don't do that. Seems kind of fishy to me. I'm not an expert mechanic, but you might have something wrong with you're throttle assembly. You might want to take it to the dealership and have them look at it, but if they're anyhting like the dealership out here then they will probably say something like," It's a vibration inherent to the design and not covered under warranty." or some other BS.

OH YEAH...Give a shout out to Waikiki, Hanauma Bay, Wahiawa, Schofield Barracks, Hale Kula Elementary, and my favorite boogie boarding of all time, Bellows Beach. My Dad was stationed there back in the day. Hawaii is da Shiznitobam. I wish I was old enough to appreciate string Bikini's back then. he he

ANYWAYS..hope your pedals work out.

Later

It's cool to copy me. I got the idea from someone else too, but I modified it a little bit. Thanks for the props.
