My old '83 Ranger had even a better solution, a full rubber floor.
If it got dirty you just hosed it out - no floor mats needed

I checked my mats in my Prius and they were unhooked. I have not had a problem with the mats moving, I am going to check them when getting in the car as a precaution. I think junk like hair brushes, soda cans, kids toys ending up on the driver side could cause more problems.

There must be something different with the recalled ones and the version used on our '07 Corolla, because I can't imagine how the mat could come unhooked by itself. Heck to change the carpet mats and the rubber mats out for the seasonal change I have to use both hands and fight with them to get them unhooked.

It's a freaking struggle to unlatch the driver side's mat in my S/O's 97 RAV4.

so, in 1974, when the flloor mats in your 1972 Skylark slid, it was your own friggin' fault. In 2009, you sue.
When did the average American consumer have their testicles removed, and a personal responsibility lobotomy performed? Mid 80s? 4th gen Camaro?

and yet, when problems started to arise after just a few years of production, people still bought a marginal/defective product.
The legal system nowadays trumps Darwin.

If we ever populate other worlds, let us PLEASE not send with them our legal system.

what is/was Ford's solution?
Grommet in the corner of the factory floormats, and posts with an
inverted foot mounted to the floor pan thye grommets get wiggled and
hooked over. No way those suckers will slide under your pedals. You
just need to do it right THE FIRST TIME.
My '06 Scion xA had those and so does my sons '09 Scion xD. I haven't
checked the new Prius yet.
