Had the same incident happen 4 times now in the runabout s**box (2011 corolla). When accelerating suddenly at 3/4 throttle, the accelerator pedal gets stuck at 3/4 or full by the edge of floor mat (Genuine Toyota Item). Looking at the floor mat, this looks physically impossible, but this is the 4th time. I can't seem to see any recalls for Corolla Floor mat online. I can never get it to happen by trying, but it will always happen in very awkward situations: first time was accelerating away from traffic lights into a slip lane, and I nearly crashed head on into a concrete divider, another time was overtaking and the last time was after swerving to avoid a line of cars stopped in the middle lane of the freeway). I would never have believed someone if they told me this had happened. Am a bit embarrassed to bring this up with Toyota as they might think I'm on something. Is the car cursed or something?

Wasn't there a recall in the US a couple of years for that very reason? And I reckon it was Toyota too.
Here ya go. It's not about Corolla as such but it is Toyota and it is dodgy floor mats. And Again, probably more relevant.

being a 2011, if you have genuine mats, there should be 2 holes in them, each side of the embroidered corolla, with matching holes in the carpet floor under the mat, being either hatch or sedan.
These holes are there to stop the mats moving up underneath the pedal, all you need are the clips that are probably missing...

The mats in my sedan and ute are just as crap. They keep getting caught in the pedals. Its not as bad as jamming the accelerator/brake but quite annoying. The problem is who sells good aftermarket mats as I can't find any.
