I haven't yet, but this seems utterly ridiculous to me :bash: Is there a fix for this yet, because it seems like it happens to most people who race their cars aggressively.
How many people have had the gas pedal break off?

It's funny to see this post... just 2 weekends ago... at the Solo 2 National Championships... Mine broke off with 2 sets of runs to go Sat Evening... we duct taped it on!! I took the lead by just over a tenth...
Then for Sunday AM runs... we installed a NEON peddle through the pin... which worked... but I lost by .017 (17 thousandths) I know it was the Neon Pedal! :mj:
I hope it doesn't happen again!

I did.
Everyone who has had this happen should report it immediately to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. Specifically, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. You can make a report on-line at:
https://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/oscripts/ivoq/voq/voq1.cfm
If NHTSA's ODI gets a bunch of these reports, they will force Ford to recall to put an appropriate replacement pedal on before someone gets hurt.

BlackCobra: Great point...if mine falls off, I will do exactly as you suggest.

Yes mine broke off too a few weeks ago. Dealer replaced it without any problem. The plastic that goes around the little pin cracked.
I think it's time for another "postban" reengineering mod.
@hit, half his mods will most likely show up as OEM on the 04 1/2's!

Two cars here in Cincinnati had the pedals break off yesterday. They where just street driving. It's a cheep plastic part.

Mine didn't break, but lever that holds the gas pedal on my car has bent. It's a flimsy piece, I've bent it back. I'm just shocked they would use such a flimsy piece. It's just a thin piece of U-channel steel. Very disappointing. Now i'm scared if I prees the gas pedal too hard it's going to bend again.
This is a bunch of crap :gt: Ford needs to know about this and come out with a fix. This could be very dangerous in traffic.:nono:
I have the Bullitt pedals on my GT, and the gas pedaled snapped off one day as well, right at the plastic retainer clip. Cheap plastic POS
Mine broke off my 00 GT about 6 months after I bought it dealer replaced it and not a problem since.
