There is a long story behind my new bike, but it is a 2009 trek 3700 3 series. It has a sr-suntour crank, and plastic wellgo pedals.
It could be:
  • a cross-threaded pedal
  • a bent crank
  • a bent pedal spindle
  • a bad pedal bearing
  • a bad crank bearing

None of these are acceptable on a new bike. Take it back to the place you bought it from and tell them to fix it.
