I was approaching a red light and pressed the brake. There was a truck infront of me, the harder I pushes the break the more the engine tried to accelerate. The tires were screeching but the engine was still trying to go. Me and my kids could have been seriously injured and I would have been held responsible for hitting another vehicle in the rear end. I have an appointment to take it to the dealership tomorrow. Hoping they can find a fix before it seriously injures my family or someone else's loved ones.

Incident has happened 4 times. Car is in drive and moving forward. When moving foot to apply brake and pushing down on brake pedal the gas pedal is also engaged causing the car to have the brake and gas applied at the same time. The harder I push on the brake the more gas is given to the engine. Since the car is already moving forward, removing my foot from the brake will let the car move forward. The first time this happened I was approaching a red light. Only by putting the car in neutral was I able to control the situation. I took the car to the dealership as I thought there was a mechanical problem. They could find nothing wrong. It was only after the 2nd time this happened I realized I was applying the brake and gas at the same time. Even though I am aware this can happen, it happened again in my driveway and at the local post office. The real problem is getting your foot off the brake while the car is moving forward and then back on the brake before you Ram into something. So far so good. Others may not be as lucky.

We have a 2010 Ford Explorer that is having brake issues. The problem occurs when normally depressing the brakes. The brake pedal becomes soft and the truck will not stop. Only after depressing the pedal at full force will the truck fully stop. It has happened 3 times now. There is no telling on when it could happen. It is totally random. I was almost in a violent accident today. We are bringing it back for service in the morning. If you own a 2010 Explorer, please have it checked out.

2010 Ford Explorer limited with adjustable pedals. The brake and gas pedals are too close together. When I stepped on the brake my foot contacted the accelerator pedal and the engine accelerated. When the brake is fully depressed it is below the level of the accelerator pedal. If the foot is not fully on the brake pedal, it contacts the accelerator and the car jumps forward.
