Consumer Description

The issue is not from my car, but someone that has the same vehicle as I. I was reading online that the acceleration pedal is made of some Sort of Plastic and the owners pedal snapped. I'll attach the link. When I inspected mine, I was amazed that indeed it feels plastic, at this time it's not broken but I'm concerned for the years to come, is it safe and was this made to cut corners? I drive my vehicle a lot and would hate for anything like this to happen, it seems dangerous. I'm sure a lot of people are going to start contacting you guys due to this.
