If you were looking at it facing forward with it installed in the car, it cracked around the hole in the lower left part of the pedal that the horizontal part of the metal rod goes through. It happened during a little 0-100mph run in the Broadway tunnel in SF. I had to pay Ford $60 (for a molded plastic piece????) to order a new one and they are supposed to reimburse me after they take a look to make sure it is a warranty repair (wtf?) and replace it. The guy at the parts counter was pretty funny - he just grinned when I told him and said 'Guess you were all the way in it, eh?". I sure hope this is not something that is going to happen to me every couple years. Maybe I should check my floorpan too to make sure I haven't dented it!
