Complaint on my 2000 Ford Mustang coupe(orginal owner ). Vehicle has problems relating to the position of the carpet around the accelerator pedal. After minimal use of the vehicle ( 5000 miles or around 3-5 months of use) a large hole developed on the right side of the accelerator pedal. If the accelerator is depressed fully or almost fully the side of your shoe can catch on the hole long enough to pose a saftey hazard of not being able to take your foot immeadatly off the accelerator pedal. I have had this happen on several occasions, and have to be very concious of my foot position on the accelerator pedal when driving to prevent this problem now that I am aware of it. Ford deems this problem as normal wear and tear on the car and would not cover replacement of the carpet under my bumper to bumper warrenty. (which is now expired) pictures are available, please contact and I will forward them to you.
