Description of the problem	Relates to design: many vehicles i have driven and never in one that i could put my shoe on both gas and brake pedal at the same time, and i am a very modest size man, not a large shoe size. I have experienced braking and the engine racing and found that my foot was on both pedals or stepping on gas and something holding back and realizing i was also on brake. I recently did a large amount of damage to three other vehicles and mine when braking to stop, my shoe was hitting both pedals. I attempted to slam on the brake and realize now i was also on the gas. While looking where i was going did not have time to realize this, get off the gas before hitting a parked vehicle with my foot down on the gas. I pushed a car into another car and pushed those two over to seriously damage a third. I can't imagine if a person had been there or people in the cars. Even knowing this i feel nervous about driving this explorer when back from the body shop.
