I dunno how to get gum out, but you can definitely order new floor mats through your dealership. Expect to come back minus an arm and possibly a leg though.

try and remove as much as possible of the gum with solvent and a dry cotton cloth, then (believe it or not) put the floor mat in the washing machine (it does fit, try harder) with your regular detergent. Use 40°C, whatever that is in °F.
A good idea is to let some detergent soak into the stain for 10 minutes beforehand.

40c * 9/5 + 32 = 104f
Useful conversion.
Does that make the floor mats bleed color, Claud? I thought that was the general reason not to wash colors at high temps. 
Hope it works.
The dealership will charge you an arm and a leg because they can. Simple enough. Try buying any replacement part through them. It WILL cost you.

So this is nothing like the old wives' tales where you put peanut butter in someone's hair if they get gum in it? No ice cubes either? 
I may have to go step in some gum to test these ideas out... maybe not.
