| When i pressed the accelerator pedal to the floor all the way, the floor mat trapped it wide open. this in return caused the vehicle to speed out of control. this is the third incident with this type of vehicle between my fiance and i that this has happened to. because i was aware of this problem i just kicked the floor mat and the accelerator pedal was released. very scary feeling if you don't know what to do. *jb | |||
