| Description of the problem | I was involved in an accident which was caused by hitting the brake pedal and the accelerator at the same time. I thought i was hitting the brake when and hit the gas at the same time causing my vehicle to rear end collide with the vehicle in front of me. Since i have been driving the vehicle this has happened several times, the gas pedal is too close in height to the brake pedal. *nm |
