Description of the problem | Dt*: the contact stated after attempting to apply sudden brake pressure, the vehicle struck another vehicle in the rear resulting in minor damage. The brakes stopped the vehicle, however not before the point of impact. No injuries were sustained and the police were not notified. Afterwards, the contact discovered the brake pedal was too close to the accelerator pedal. It was suspected that due to the design this could be unsafe, although the placement of the accelerator pedal was not a factor in the accident. The dealer was notified. A manufacturer representative inspected the vehicle. It was determined the placement of the accelerator and brake pedal met federal motor vehicle safety standards and no corrections were made. |
