Scariest thing ever.... going 70 in rush hour traffic and all of a sudden everyone one brakes and my throttle gets stuck. I tried everything and couldnt get it to stop. Finally I just pulled it over threw it in park and killed it. Everything looked fine so I took it to the shop to have it looked at and the guy tells me the floor mat is getting up into something behind the pedal... I dont know guess I will have to look at it myself when I get her back tomorrow. All I know is when I tried pulling the pedal towards me with my foot it didn't work. Hope he is right.

 

The floor mat deal happens to me, only it gets harder to accelerate... I have to pull it back so i can drive the speed limit.. if i didnt care about my carpet id take it out.... I suggest getting alot of velcro pads and stickin em up in there... or some sort of latch. VW Jettas use kinda like a button to snap theirs into the floor so they dont move around as easily.

 

I had a similer event happen to me kinda only i was at the end of a drag trac with about 300 ft to a not so soft stop the diff was mine got stuck cause of my wot swtich (wide open throttle) for my nos witch i was running at the time i didn't set the wot right so my throttle went passed it and got stuck first i put it in nutreal (i have a 6 speed) then shut the key off my tach stayed at 6500rpms NOT GOOD till i fixed it.... sorry just had to share but if i were u i would check my cruise control (if ya have one) the ASR as well do some dry runs on the throttle body and c if it may need a touch of lube I really don't c how ur floor mat would cause that but it is something u will wanna fix b4 it ever happens again cause i know that is a scarry feeling.. good luck

 

The guy who fixed it said he pulled tons of carpet fibers out of the cable behind the pedal. It makes sense but I will have to take a look at it to understand what he is talking about. I checked my cc and my throttle body myself and the guy also checked it and everything looks fine. I am just going to buy those nice black plastic mats with the red bowtie. Maybe seat covers to match since my seats look like ****.
