UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE OEM CARPET/MAT WHICH I BOUGHT TOGETHER WITH THE CAR (NEW CAR FROM A HONDA DEALER) STARTED TO GET CAUGHT UP UNDER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, CAUSING AN UNSAFE SITUATION WHERE I WOULD LET OFF ON THE GAS, BUT THE MOTOR WOULD NOT RETURN TO IDLE. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER, AND THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. I FINALLY REPLACED THE MAT WITH A 3RD PARTY PRODUCT. THAT MAT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING, AND WAS REMOVED ALSO.*AK I RECALL SEEING A RECALL NOTICE IN CONSUMER REPORTS FOR HONDA CIVICS (OTHER YEARS) FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. MENTIONING THIS DID NOT PUSH DEALER TO DO THE RIGHT THING. I'VE LOOKED AT THIS A WHILE TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT HAPPENS. THE CONTOUR OF THE FLOOR AREA UNDER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ENDS UP WARPING THE CARPET/MAT INTO A SHAPE THAT ENDS UP CAUSING IT TO CREEP UP AND GET WEDGED.
