Accelerator Stuck problems of the 2004 Ford Mustang

The contact owns a 2004 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and engaging the accelerator pedal, the pedal would become stuck. As a result, there was an increase in engine rpms. The contact mentioned that she would have to kick at the pedal or engage the brakes in order to release the accelerator from being stuck. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 65,000 and the current mileage was 70,000.

When accelerating at full throttle accelerator pedal gets stuck. This can be a big problem since severe engine damage due to excessive engine rpm's can occur and can cause collision due to car accelerating uncontrollably. The only way to control this was shutting off the ignition but that in itself can be a danger since shutting off the ignition causes loss of power steering and hydraulic brakes which can make the vehicle extremely difficult to steer and brake, potentially causing an accident.

I have read about this issue from other 2003/2004 cobra owners and did not think it was a problem for me after inspecting my car. However, on July 30, 2005 I experienced an issue where the accelerator was stuck on the floor at full throttle. This happened on a city street and could have caused a serious issue if I did not have a large open space to pull off. I was forced to kill the ignition and stop the car. As I am sure you know when doing this you lose all power steering and braking so it is not a safe or easy task to bring the vehicle to a stop. In order to resolve the issue it required me reaching down and yanking up on the pedal with considerable force to remove it from the carpet where it was embedded. While most issues with cars can be over looked this is possibly a very bad accident waiting to happen.

My accelerator got stuck on the carpet and would not come up, I was forced to shut the car down and pull off to the side to figure out what was wrong. This has happened on 3-4 occasions while I revved my engine also, I have since cut the carpet all around the gas pedal so it will no longer stick. Mike zilinski.

I have a 2004 Ford Mustang cobra. I have had the accelerator pedal become stuck under the carpet on more than one occasion. One of the events happened while I was on a dyno-jet testing horsepower, and it was captured on video. The other even happened while driving, and I was nearly killed. I just happened to think fast and switch the key off. I have fixed this by cutting away a section of carpet under the pedal. I am not happy with this solution because this is a limited production car, and cutting carpet is not a thing that I wanted to do. But I was afraid that if I did not do this I would be injured or killed the next time it happened.
