Our cars and evos and other models have plastic gas pedal if it breaks is it cover under warranty? And for our safety does mitsu will change this to metal or aluminum???

 

thats what happens when your standing on the gas petal

 

It sucks, but that's what they'll do to save a bit of weight and money.

Is the brake pedal the same as well? It seems like a liability considering how important these both are.

 

Last time I checked, steel was a form of metal....

 

^^^ lol i mean aluminum

 

The pedal has a breaking point from the factory especially designed for it to break in case of an accident so that your foot/legs are smashed, so it is a safety issue. It breaking during a collision also would prevent the pedal from being pressed in while you might be knocked out and having your foot all the way down, so your car doesn't keep dragging/accelerating/moving in general.

 

ive seen this issue on other Evo X owner.. i mean, if it ever breaks... it should be cover under warranty ..
I can see an issue if the BRAKE pedal breaks (where you cannot stop) .. but Gas pedal, the worst is no more gas + tow =P

 

dude! petal to the metal is just a figure of speech.

 

I don't buy that argument.
Some things are just cheap, and that's one of em.
I wouldn't want a pedal with a possibly sharp shaft flying around in an accident...

 

this is why some of the new cars, when in an accident, they will cutoff the engine, unlock the doors, etc

 

what if you swap out the pedals for some steel ones. would that void a warranty? if so what kind of warranty would be voided?

 

weird it seems to be most of the cars now are using plastic gas pedal my rav4 has also have one but not in a hobeycomb style but a solid hard plastic

 

Chazy, are you typically drinking heavily when posting these comments???

 

I mean a Plastic honeycomb style gas pedal on evo x and RA while some cars have just plain hard plastic gas pedal like my rav4, its hard to type here on my iphone 4 lol my bad. And yeah we had saki bomb last night
