The consumer stated he put the carpeted mats underneath the all weather mats to see if it was possible to cause the accelerator to hang. He stated he was un able to get it ton hang under the floor mat, no matter how he positioned the mat with his hands. The all weather mat is thick, but the part of the mat that would be able to hang the accelerator is not strong enough to hold the pedal down. He held the pedal down and tried to place the mat over it, but no matter he positioned it, the mat would not hold down the pedal, the mat was too flimsy to hold it. According to the dealer they observed the all weather mats on top of the regular floor mats, which they stated could obstructed the accelerator pedal.
