About 16 yrs ago my floor mat in my Cougar was stuck under the gas pedal and I was nearly killed.....scariest thing ever! At the time i had no idea of why my accelerator seemed stuck......I had to steer in to a big school yard (no children present at the time) and pull emergency checks brake to make a vdry hard stop. After this, I will always chk mats whenever I drive a car that is not mine. I made a point to tell everyone zi could....even strangers in line at the grocery story for example!I could be wrong but oem manufacturers will not extend the mat under the accelerator anymore, ram had to recall there all weather mats because a pedal got stuck. I don't know if it's a legal issue or liability issue but plenty of Aftermarket vendors do it. I don't know why they couldn't make it go way higher than the peddle so it's not an issue but if I remember the Dodge ones the peddle got stuck on the ridges no the top of mat
