Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was proceeding through intersection on a left hand turn lane driving in the wrong gear for the speed at which i was going(20 mph), i down shifted into second gear and the gas pedal was stuck to the floor for a half a block heading towards the next intersection that had a red light for me. i couldn't stop the car so i turned the key off. after looking at the pedal i noticed the carpet doesn't fit right like it's short and my gas pedal arm is extremely weak and bends towards the transmission scraping the carpet through the range of up/down motion. i think the carpet is half the problem the other half is the gas pedal arm. the right side of the gas pedal rubs the carpet. i pull the pedal off of the carpet every so often within days the pedal is rubbing it again. *jb
