Description of the problem	When i hit the brakes in an emergency, and sometimes at other times, my foot strikes the gas pedal too causing the motor to rev up and not stop timely which has caused me to almost have a serious accident on at 3 occasions. I have had it checked and ford motor co says they have heard of the problem before but there is nothing they can do about it and it causes me great safety concerns. Once a semi truck pulled out in front of me on a highway and i barely avoided an accident as the force of the motor would not let the brakes have full effect.
