Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have read about this issue from other 2003/2004 cobra owners and did not think it was a problem for me after inspecting my car. however, on july 30, 2005 i experienced an issue where the accelerator was stuck on the floor at full throttle. this happened on a city street and could have caused a serious issue if i did not have a large open space to pull off. i was forced to kill the ignition and stop the car. as i am sure you know when doing this you lose all power steering and braking so it is not a safe or easy task to bring the vehicle to a stop. in order to resolve the issue it required me reaching down and yanking up on the pedal with considerable force to remove it from the carpet where it was embedded. while most issues with cars can be over looked this is possibly a very bad accident waiting to happen. *nm
