Accellerator stuck

[03 OW SVT]

My gas pedal stuck today on my Cobra. Anyone had this problem before. I took my Cobra to run a couple arrends today and when I stepped on the gas the car lonched and went to the rev limiter and scared the Hell out of me. Thank goddness I had the sense to put the clutch in and put it in neutral. No, I didn't crash. Any idea's on why?

its typical on 03 cobra's. there was even a recall or safety fix if memory serves me correct.

the carpet or something cause it. dont remember the exact cause

yea i remember when that recall came out... that'd be quite a scary situation, no matter what car your in... I actually had the accelerator stick on my KTM once and it scared the piss outta me... Only thing you can do is grab the clutch...

The recall was allready done. I called my local ford dealer and gave them my V.I.N and they said it was done. I looked to see and there is allready a plate there. Now what?

Did the floor mat get caught under it?

It may have but I don't believe so. I have had these same cheap rubber mats in several of my cars (to protect the good mats) and it has never happened before. I guess I will have to be careful

There is a recall for it. The dealer will install a metal plate over the carpet to keep it from getting caught on the gas pedal.
