Consumer Description

GAS PEDAL JAMMED UNDER FLOOR MAT, HIT FRONT PORCH OF HOUSE,COULD NOT STOP VEHICLE WITH BOTH FEET FEET ON BRAKE PEDAL. SAME THING HAPPENED MANY TIMES ON THE FREEWAY, BUT COULD ALWAYS PULL FLOOR MAT BACK WITH MY FEET, THIS TIME HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY, AND MY GRANDSON WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF THE PORCH. THANK GOD HE TOOK OFF RUNNING, I PANICKED OR I WOULD HAVE PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. I FEEL THAT IS A DESIGN DEFECT, THERE SHOULD BE A HOOK TO HOLD THE MAT IN PLACE, APPARENTLY FORD THINKS SO TOO, THE NEW TRUCKS HAVE THE HOOKS. MY TRUCK HAS A LITTLE PLASTIC SCREW THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BURROW INTO THE CARPET, IT DOES NOT WORK. *AK
