File date	12/10/10

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While driving on a local highway at approximately 60mph, the truck instantly "took off", the tachometer went to between 5500 & 6000 rpm, and speed increased tremendously to almost 90mph. I tapped on the accelerator pedal and the brake to try to interrupt what was occurring. I placed the vehicle in neutral, where the rpms dropped to 3000. I turned the truck off in hopes of resetting whatever had just occurred. When i started the truck back up, it immediately began doing what it was doing before. I placed the truck into "drive" and attempted to get out of the roadway. At this time, everything returned to "normal". I took the truck to the local dealership (university ford, durham nc). They determined within 40 minutes that it was the floor mat. However, i have tried for more than an hour today to recreate a floor mat accelerator sticking without success. I have also been unable to recreate the maximum rpms that i experienced with my foot in a normal driving position. This is the first and only occurrence, but i do not agree that it was a floor mat problem or that my issue was taken seriously. The service rep (kenneth) advised that the truck did not provide any computer codes indicating a problem, so there was definitely nothing wrong with the truck other than the floor mat being out of position.
