The gas pedal is connected to the accelerator cable, which in turn is connected to the throttle body. If any of these connections are loose, it can cause the gas pedal to stick. To fix this, you’ll need to tighten or replace the connection that is causing the problem.If concerns are still present, we'd recommend reaching out to a certified dealership near you. If you need further assistance please send us a private message, we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.

It is in my 2019 Charger Daytona 392 so I have to believe it is in the 2019 Scat Pack as well.
Dagreat14, can you describe the looseness better? For example, are you referring to a side-to-side looseness, a lack of responsiveness when pressing on the accelerator, an up-and-down looseness, or something else? If you're referring to physical looseness versus a lack of responsiveness, have you gotten on your hands and knees and looked to see if there are any bushings/pivot points that appear loose when manipulating the pedal with your hand? There are a lot of things thought could fit your initial description so we're going to need more detail to provide meaningful suggestions.
