 Description of the problemI purchased a 2007 ford gt v-8 automatic mustang on 10/10/06. One week after the purchase, i was driving, and my throttle got stuck. I pulled the e brake and threw the car into neutral. After stopped the car eventually turned, i believe because the rpm's were so high. Eleven days later on 10/29/06 i took off and the gas pedal started to take control again, yet failed to go to the extreme as the first time. On 11/07/06 approx 6:45 pm, i was driving, going about 55 mph. It was already dark outside & roads wet. After being set on a speed of 50-55 mph, i hit the gas pedal to get up to around 60 mph. Once i did, i could feel the gas pedal go down on it's own. Instinct reaction was to hit the brakes, but when i did the car started sliding due to the wet road. While the rpm's were going up, i threw the shift into neutral and pulled the e brake. Once i finally stopped, the rpm's were still extreme, and then the car finally cut off on it's own. I left the car at the dealership that evening. The following afternoon on 11/08/06, the mechanic stated that the car was ready, so i asked what they had determined. He stated that the floor mat was the issue. The first time this happened to me, i did not have the weather mat which is 5 cm thick. In addition, how can a floor mat, make a pedal accelerate on it's own? I could actually feel the gas pedal going down as if cruise control was just turned on. The dealership asked if he could drive my car home to his house to determine the issue. He also stated that he was going to put a flight detector on the car. I spoke with him on 11/09/06; he stated that the throttle got stuck on him. He stated again that it was a floor mat issue. He is going to continue to drive my car for another day or two, with out the floor mats, to see if it happens again. I find it hard to believe that a floor mat can cause such a fatal incident. Either way, i have a new car that is supposed to be my dream car and i am scared to death to drive it! *nm
