The driver side floor mat/rug on my 2007 mustang was not locked under the tab on the floor. this has happened on 2 separate occasions. because the mat slides forward it interferes with the gas/accelerator pedal causing the accelerator pedal to not return and allow de-acceleration/slowing down. i took the mustang to a local dealer to have the system checked. their conclusion was the floor mat/rug caused the problem and that it must be locked under the tab to prevent it from sliding forward and interfering with the pedal. i believe this problem is the same as with the recent toyota problem?? i believe a safety notice to all owners is in order to help prevent this type of potential for a serious vehicular accident. *tr
Similar to the 2010 fusion problem of stuck accelerator, i have had this same problem with the 2007 ford mustang gt. this problem has occurred ever since i received the mats in june of 2007 and has occurred numerous times! the all-weather mat is sitting on top of the standard mat and slips forward. when the accelerator is depressed fully, it does get stuck under the all-weather mat. in one incident, i was on a freeway going to pass a vehicle. when i floored the accelerator, it stuck! in a mustang, you can imagine the amount of acceleration involved and i was up over 120mph in seconds! i had to turn off the engine to begin deceleration. frightening! *tr
