I havent used floormats since I had my old Dodge truck, 3 times the floormat bunched up under the brake pedal and I almost died every time.

30-40 seconds?! I think I would have killed the ignition by then.

Yeah, I would have cut the gas by about five-ten. This happened to me twice, but then I started keeping an eye on the floor mat, and now it doesn't move up any more, I think I stoped moving my heel, or now I pick up my foot and don't slide it, but what ever it is, it works for me.
