I am the original owner of a 1998 Ford f150 pickup. There have been occasions when using my right foot to apply pressure to the brake pedal. The space between the brake and gas pedals is spanned by my foot causing acceleration at the same time the brake is being applied. I have discussed this with Ford service personnel on more than one occasion and was, told that it was the first they had heard it, and that it must be unique to my driving. I have subsequently learned that Ford taurus and Mercury sable vehicles with adjustable brake/gas pedals have been recalled due to this problem. I have also learned that other F-150 drivers have experienced this problem. I believe this is an engineering defect which is extremely dangerous and should be corrected by the manufacturer. This apparent brake/gas pedal problem with Ford F-150 pickups being investigated and/or addressed for correction. Dt.

Same thing happened many times on the freeway, but could always pull floor mat back with my feet, this time happened in my driveway, and my grandson was standing in front of the porch. Thank god he took off running, I panicked or I would have put the vehicle in neutral. I feel that is a design defect, there should be a hook to hold the mat in place, apparently Ford thinks so too, the new trucks have the hooks. My truck has a little plastic screw that is supposed to burrow into the carpet, it does not work.
