Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2004 FORD MUSTANG COBRA. I HAVE HAD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECOME STUCK UNDER THE CARPET ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. ONE OF THE EVENTS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON A DYNO-JET TESTING HORSEPOWER, AND IT WAS CAPTURED ON VIDEO. THE OTHER EVEN HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, AND I WAS NEARLY KILLED. I JUST HAPPENED TO THINK FAST AND SWITCH THE KEY OFF. I HAVE FIXED THIS BY CUTTING AWAY A SECTION OF CARPET UNDER THE PEDAL. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS SOLUTION BECAUSE THIS IS A LIMITED PRODUCTION CAR, AND CUTTING CARPET IS NOT A THING THAT I WANTED TO DO. BUT I WAS AFRAID THAT IF I DID NOT DO THIS I WOULD BE INJURED OR KILLED THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED.
