Description of the problem | Ford shelby gt500 2007, accelerator stuck! While going around some cars on a 4 lane highway at first i didn't bother to downshift and depressed the gas pedal to the floor. When i realized i needed to downshift and took my foot off the gas while depressing the clutch the rpm's went up and i immediately knew the gas pedal was stuck down. It felt like it snapped or locked down. Luckily i was able to keep control of the car by holding the clutch down and tapping (more like stomping) the gas pedal till it released. I feel fortunate that the shelby has a governor than keeps the rpm's under 6,000. My prior experience with older cars in my teens with sticky accelerator cables was also a life saver. I show this car and floor mats are a non issue removed while driving to preserve them. After i got home i was unable to duplicate with car safely turned off. Will contact ford dealer tomorrow. |
