While driving floor mat on the driver's side could move under accelerator pedal where consumer will move mat away. *ak
The oem carpet/mat which i bought together with the car (new car from a honda dealer) started to get caught up under the accelerator pedal, causing an unsafe situation where i would let off on the gas, but the motor would not return to idle. i complained to the dealer, and they did nothing about it. i finally replaced the mat with a 3rd party product. that mat started doing the same thing, and was removed also.*ak i recall seeing a recall notice in consumer reports for honda civics (other years) for the same problem. mentioning this did not push dealer to do the right thing. i've looked at this a while to figure out why it happens. the contour of the floor area under the accelerator pedal ends up warping the carpet/mat into a shape that ends up causing it to creep up and get wedged.
