I would like to report poor design of brake and gas pedals, when wearing work boots if not careful you will push on gas pedal as you apply brake causing vehicle to not slow down and at times actually excelerating, this has happened twice, once resulting in accident during highway panic stop
: the contact stated while brake pressure was applied at a stop sign, due to the placement of the brake and accelerator pedal the two were pressed at the same time which caused the vehicle to lurch forward resulting in a rear impact collision. No one was injured and seat belts were used. Minor damage was sustained to both vehicles. The police were contacted and a report was taken. The vehicle was not seen by a dealer. Updated 04/06/06.
The consumer complained about the brake pedal and gas pedal being too close together. The consumer applied the brake pedal and touched the gas pedal at the same time on many occasions.
