| 2006 ford f250 superduty truck floormats are causing the accelerator pedal to get stuck and the brakes wont stop the truck if its floored. i thought my family was going to die. we didn't know what was causing the accelerator to stick. thank god i noticed the mat or we would all be dead for certain. please follow up on this issue. my husband revved the engine because the truck was having other mechanical issues but anyone who may floor their vehicle could kill themselves or others on the road. we are cautious of this problem and know not to press the pedal too far down. others may not be aware! *tr | |||
