Gas pedal makin' noises...

So, my gas pedal is making noises. It makes clicking noises and creaking noises, like noises when two plastic parts rub and scratch each other. It makes noises when you push down/release or jigle the pedal side to side. Looked down there--nothing seemed loose, however, there is lateral play in the pedal. Does your gas pedal have lateral play and make noises?

Thanks,
FS

The gas pedal is nothing more than a variable resistor and a spring. Don't mess with it and let the dealer swap it out for a new one.

Oops, my bad. It's not a resistor. It is a magnet and coil inside the case.
