| The factory-supplied floor mats on this vehicle have an approx. 2 wide strip along the side of the mat. on the drivers side, this strip is along the rear portion of the rh side of the mat and makes an approx. 2 wide square corner several inches back from the front edge of the mat and just behind the gas pedal. the mat has a tendency to slide forward over time. ive now had 2 instances of this square corner sliding forward and engaging the gas pedal, holding it fully depressed (accelerator stuck wide openengine rpm pegged when clutch was depressed). both occurred in dense, high-speed interstate highway traffic. the first had to be cleared by reaching under the gas pedal with my toe and pulling back on the pedal to free it. in the second, i had to shut down the engine and coast to the shoulder before i could clear the problem, and was fortunately in a position in traffic to do so. i believe this floor mat shape is hazardous and the shape of the drivers side mat should either be altered to preclude this condition, or the drivers side mat should be removed from the vehicle. *ak | |||
