I have reported this problem before but since then two other people who have driven my car have experienced it. I now warn anyone who has to drive my car that it drives by itself. I have received dirty looks from people, been yelled out, due to this problem. It accelerates on its own. I will be behind someone at a light, foot on brake and it will start revving. They think i am messing with them. I will be in neutral…

I was involved in a crash after my accelerator got stuck on a 2007 ford mustang v6. I had just left my house when i slowly accelerated and all of the sudden the pedal got stuck and was unable to stop until i crashed into a neighbor's rock wall. Although the impact was hard i suffered minor injuries from the air bag, other than that i am lucky to have survived. I was the scariest thing i have ever experienced. *tr

The driver side floor mat/rug on my 2007 mustang was not locked under the tab on the floor. This has happened on 2 separate occasions. Because the mat slides forward it interferes with the gas/accelerator pedal causing the accelerator pedal to not return and allow de-acceleration/slowing down. I took the mustang to a local dealer to have the system checked. Their conclusion was the floor mat/rug caused the problem…

Causing lights to go off,or sometimes go on without switching on, windows go up and down by themselves, occasionally motor cuts out on highway, cruise control operates intermittently. Eventually this will also result in premature structural damage. *tr

I have a new ford mustang 6 cyl. (2007) . The gas pedal hesitates to "catch", and then lurches the car forward. When i bought the car in march 2007 (new) i brought it back to the dealer, who had it checked out. They said it was "normal" for this to happen, and i "would get used to it". I have driven it for a year in the san francisco area. It lurches forward when i accelerate from stop signs, traffic lights, etc. It…

Similar to the 2010 fusion problem of stuck accelerator, i have had this same problem with the 2007 ford mustang gt. This problem has occurred ever since i received the mats in june of 2007 and has occurred numerous times! The all-weather mat is sitting on top of the standard mat and slips forward. When the accelerator is depressed fully, it does get stuck under the all-weather mat. In one incident, i was on a…

I was driving my 2007 ford mustang gt down city streets when the accelerator locked up. The car continued to accelerate despite removing my foot from the gas pedal and applying the brakes did little to help slow the car. This caused me to run a 3-way intersection, which forced me to turn at dangerous rate of speed. I ended up running the car off the road, over a curb/sidewalk and into a small tree to stop it. The…
