Quote:
Edmunds.com went through an eye-opening incident in one of its own Fusion test cars after a car wash or a body shop worker took the rubber floor mat out of the trunk and put it back into the driver-side footwell on top of the carpet mat.

Ordinarily, just three complaints might be too few for NHTSA to take notice. But ill-fitting floormats jamming open gas pedals is blamed for a majority of Toyota's infamous unintended acceleration problem.
Why not just take them out? or better yet, put durable rubber flooring in there instead of carpeting which gets dirty and needs protection.
