Floor mat catching gas pedal -safety hazard

[TomB 1269]

Ah the spaghetti bowl..... Just do not try to sneak down the oneway beside Wendy's. My wife did and Wayne PD nabed her, even the head detective in town could not get it fixed for me.
The north end of 287 can be desolite at times. You rack some miles up in your commute.

Just curious why did you used to do I80 to 46&3 verse just down 23 to 46&3?

Latest from OEDRO as of this morning:
"
Hi, just contact our engineers, they said our floor mats(EO1001W008) don't fit a 2019 classic (although they almost same), only fit 2013-2018 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab.
I checked the description, there is no words said they fit a 2019 classic on the website. And we will correct the description on Amazon.
Sorry for the problem."

I responded to them with:
If these do not fit the 2019 Ram 1500 Classic then your website needs to clearly state that. Nearly every owner of the 2019 Ram 1500 Classic knows (or believes) their truck to be the exact same as the 2018 Ram 1500.

Please be advised I do not own a 2019 Ram 1500 5th generation DT chassis. I own a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic 4th generation DS chassis, which it is my understanding is exactly the same as the 2018 Ram 1500 4th generation DS chassis.

I know someone else mentioned it in this thread as well that the 2019 Ram 1500 classic is the same as the 2018. Everything I have found and read has stated the same, but OEDRO disagrees..... I am starting to wonder if this is just to get around the issue of notifying everyone else that purchased them that there is still an issue? As I have received IMO the run around. Initially in a conversation portal here OEDRO sent; "This is neither a new design nor old design, this is the first time we received the feedback of the mats for a quad cab. (Sorry I had thought them for a crew cab, you mentioned in the second post, but I missed this information， our new design is for a crew cab, they have no issue until now)."
- I find this an interesting statement as I actually had both. I accidently ordered the Crew Cab initially, and from my visual comparison the front mats for the Crew and Quad cab where exactly the same.

Just to be clear of my intent with this posting from the beginning, it was to advise others of a possible issue in very specific circumstances the gas pedal could be held to the floor by the gas pedal as happened to me, nothing more nothing less.
If you own these mats in a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic (or possibly other years) I would strongly suggest you check the clearance of the mat and gas pedal with the mat pushed forward as much as the retainer clips will allow (about 1/8 to 1/4 inch of movement). In my case the gas pedal would come down right on the edge of the mat, and with pressure could be pushed behind mat and become struck.

I have a 2019 ram 1500 classic I ordered the oEDreo floor mats and last night on the highway when I’m matted the gas the gas pedal got hung under the floor mat and kept the truck at wide open throttle
Which cause the truck to exceed 100 miles an hour. The problem is in the perfect conditions the upper right corner of the drivers floor mat can catch on the throttle pedal.
The fix is simple to just relieve the upper right corner by cutting away a quarter to half inch of the floor mat

I have attached photos
My assumption is that manufactures of similar floor mats i.e. heavy duty snow and mud floor mats may have a similar issue
If you check your truck it may look As if it’s not an issue but that the pedal gets very close to the top edge of the mat but in the perfect condition with Forward pressure the bottom left corner of the throttle pedal can get stuck under the lip edge of the mat. I would strongly suggest if when you check your truck and you press the gas pedal all the way to the floor if the Matt is within a quarter inch or less from the throttle that you cut away additional material so you have at least a half inch gap

weathertech or Huskys won't do that on you because the back part of the mat is longer, up the firewall some so the pedal can not catch on them.

thats one of those you get what you pay for things

18Ram18 - they are a nice set and work great. They just have a small "flaw" IMO, easily remedied with a razor knife and barely even noticeable. The price was like 60% of everyone else.

That small flaw prob scared the hell out of you tho. Glad no one was hurt.

That "small flaw" caused you great concern as you ended up basically out of control at triple digit speeds!
Now, you seem to brush it off like a thread hanging from your shirt.

Too much like work trying to follow your logic dude.
