| Description of the problem | After installing kraco floor mats into our 2007 toyota camry, we took a road trip. On the highway, i was driving with cruise control on, when suddenly the car began to accelerate. I tried adjusting the cruise control with the cruise lever, and when that did not work, turned the cruise control off. I continue to accelerate to over 85 mph (from original cruising at approx 68 mph). I tried braking, but the brakes provided little to no result. My two passengers tried to help with suggestions: i tried pushing the brake, accelerator, and clutch (5-speed car), and none helped. I started jamming my foot into the area around the accelerator, and finally there began to be some effect. One passenger suggested the floor mat, and so i finally dug my feet into it and pulled back, finally making the needed impact of having control of the car again. We have used large binder clips to attempt to keep the floor mats from interfering with the accelerator; not sure yet if this is an adequate solution. *jb |
