| Description of the problem | There is absolutely no anti slip resistance on the pedals at all. There has been numerous of times, where my mother or my foot would slip off the brake onto the gas causing us to move forward towards the object in front of us. It finally got me and i hit the side of my highschool which damaged my hood and bumper. I would really have hated if one of my friends or anyone at all were in front of my car or if the air bags would have deployed. I got lucky this time but what about next time? |
