| Description of the problem | Brake peddle depresses so far that the gas peddle can also be depressed while pushing hard on the brake peddle. My wife does not usually drive this can. When my wife tried to stop in the driveway when bringing me home from the hospital she applied the the brakes fairly hard and when the car did not stop she pressed even harder and the engine speed up resulting in her hitting the back of her chevy trail blazer. It is my opinion that the geometry of the brake peddle is too close to the gas peddle, i have never driven a car with the brake peddle being located to close to the gas peddle.. I would also put part is not most of th blaime on the fact that the brake peddle depresses too far as if the system was not bled properly when the car was produced, and that air was left in the system. The car was like this since i picked it up and the brake system has never been worked on by anyone. I mentioned this to the dealer, and they could not be bothered to bleed the brakes. Tihis is a serious safety issue if someone walked between the two cars serious injuries would have resulted. |
