*RECALLED* Mustang Cobra
 

Wow!

Better the carpeting than the entire cable like my Sundance... The cable frayed and the pedal was stuck all the way down. It's still dangerous either way.

haha Im surprised its just Cobras. Its happened to me in my GT in a parking lot once (thankfully almost empty lot) where I had to slam on my brakes and shut my car off. Now I pull my carpet all the way back every couple times I get in.

Happened to me at the track the 5th day I had the car. I had the carpet replaced and it still happened. I filed a complaint 2 years ago about it..glad they are doing somthing about it now.

That's why I keep my old girl.She's to worn out carpet wise to worry........... :biggrin:

Luckily I haven't experienced that problem...yet?

What kills me is there have been a lot of people complaining for a few years about this. However it wasn't until an official Govt. body like the NHTSA gets involved and Ford rolls over faster than a two bit ho :bleh:

Bring it on FORD

i had it four times in my cobra, got rid of the floor mats and some packing tape right below it, and it never happened again. and yes the packing tape easily comes off again.

I had the same thing happen in my Explorer a few years back, its an interesting experience to say the least.

wont have that prob in the ol 87 lx :shakeit:

This happened to me a few times in my 79 trans am and 80 firebird.

happened to me in my 88, a few times, pedal gets caught up in the floor mats, now i pull them back when ever i get in.

i dont know if you remember the video where the guy in the black cobra loses it, and gose into the other side of the road and hits that land rover, but thats what happened to him.. i wonder if he could get a free car outta the deal? loL! :deal:

If you watch the vid hes off the gas long before he hits the car in the turning lane..we debated this on another forum...

when it happens the gas peddle does not return..trust me...I was at the track when it happened and the carpet holds the peddle from coming back, therefore WOT.

My '93 4 Cyl did that.

It was a 5 speed though so I quickly Popped it into Neutral and reached down and pulled the mats out and got my foot behind the gas peddle .

Scared the Sh*t outt me though. :LOL:

"the pedal could interfere with the carpeting during heavy throttling"

Come on!? Cobra owners never do any "heavy throttling"do they? :laughhard :wink:

Stu

why would we do that :laughhard
