| Description of the problem | I got a new car last week.. Had all the brakes and fluids, etc. Checked and fixed. Picked it up friday. Drove to work then was leaving work when my foot got stuck between the gas and brake couldn't get it out when i hit a truck it came loose. I very lucky to be alive. I have marks on top and the side of my foot. I really think it should be looked into because the brake and gas are way to close together. |
