Anyone else have this issue: I have a 2007 GT vert (auto). I was a standstill and floored it to get around a parked car. The accelerator seemed to stick and to continue to accelerate on its own. I double checked the floormat and nothing was in the way. It released on its own a few seconds later, but man was that shocking! Any help would be appreciated before I take it in to help tell them what to look for...

Well, you already checked the floor mat. The only other thing it could be is the pedal assembly itself, maybe you just got a defective one. Try moving the pedal with the car off and see if it sticks or binds on anything, look around very carefully for any indication of the carpet or anything else catching it.

I may have described it wrong, the pedal does not control anything but a sensor and it may not have been the pedal itself increasing the RPM'S. Could have been something in the control module? Oh well, that's what a warranty is for, but man did it flip me out.

Maybe the throttle body or electric solenoid attached to it is the problem then, there have been some reports of check engine lights and going into fail safe mode due to a faulty throttle body.

This has happened to me 3 times in last few months. 1st time I thought it was in my head. But freaked out. The second time I ran into a small fence, and really freaked me out. So I call local ford dealer to check for recalls. None they could find they said. So few months later, (last week to be exact. I totaled my 2010 mustang. Only one being it by smashing into tree. Luckily I’m alive and safe w few cuts and bruises and some body aches. But now no car. And each time they happened echos you explained.













You see the ground? I couldn’t even brake.

Wow well THAT certainly sucked! First off I'm glad you're ok obviously could have been way worse. I'd be ticked that no one could figure it out but also not sure if I would have wanted to drive it with that ongoing problem!
