Original recall 09v388000 for speed control was remedied by modification to the gas pedal and replacement or repurchase of the floor mats. On my truck, i accepted their fixes. Since then, the replacement floor mat has torn and is once again loose and a risk to being stuck in my gas pedal. Of note is that the replacement floor mats were much lower quality (cheap fix) than the original floor mats and had i known this…
