Same here... Since the ML is 'drive-by-wire', the gas pedal isn't exactly 'over-engineered' [:p] (ie: it's completely made from plastic).
I wouldn't worry too much, provided the play doesn't get worse...
cheers,
Bram

I've heard of the gas pedal falling off on a British ML320 before :)

I think it's actually designed to have the play.
I've noticed that it's a lot more difficult for my foot to slip off it than with a tighter pedal. I've taken it as a design choice just like the amount of distance you have to push the brake pedal in before the brakes really kick in.

You could always get one of those big chrome foot shaped pedals with the toes. [:D]
