    Same thing happened to me, the pedal is only held on with 3 cheesy little plastic clips. Looking for a new one now...

    This has happened to me twice. The first time Toyota replaced the foot rest cover because my FJ was still under warranty. the replacement didn't last very long and self destructed just like the original at less that 45,000 miles. Definitely a bad design! I asked Toyota to replace it again for free, but they would not. If you remove the cover, the metal posts that stick out from the floor are very uncomfortable to rest your foot against and makes it difficult to get seated in the car. I think they should fix this for free because like floor mats that slide around, it is very dangerous when driving to have that foot rest cover come off where it can get wedged under the brake pedal.
