Had a bad situation the other day, I put the car into the corner of the wall at my house.

When I turned into the driveway, all of sudden the throttle went Wide open and the car took off and hit the house, this happened so fast I went for the brakes and they didn't help at all, fronts were locked up and sliding in the gravel. both back wheels were fuckin smoking when I came off the concrete. I went for the key but I must have been going about 25 or 30..and had no time and clipped the corner of the garage ansd peeled the fender off and trashed the hood and front clip on the drivers side, Then it finally stopped when the corner of the house came in contact with the wheel.

Now when I got out of the car, I check the throttle linkage and its seemed fine and not bound up.

I went into the car and the factory floor mat was smashed up under the pedal to were it made the car go wide open, and not allow the pedal to come back up from the floor.


Has anyone of you guys had the floormat for the 2001 GT gives you any problems with coming loose? or getting in the way of normal pedal operation?

I told Ford and they basically told me "oh well shit happens".

Is my only option a lawyer?

Insurance is fixing the car but....
