I was shocked to discover last fall that the carpet was interfering with
my gas pedal! I thought I had a problem with broken springs, or
something complicated, and it turned out to be the a fold in the carpet
occasionally catching underneath the pedal. I quickly anchored it to
the transmission hump, and have been much happier since.
