Mustang

  • Manual transmission
  • miles
Special gas/brake/clutch pedals in Mustang GT bullitt edition (only) can slip out from under foot when foot pressure is applied in wet and especially soapy conditions (I.e. car wash). Clutch pedal is especially prone to slippage. Rubber nubs on pedals can also come off with certain shoes, reducing foot-pedal friction further.
