Issue ID	829589

Model Year	2008
File date	18/11/10
Component	VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The brake and gas pedals on my lincoln mkz are located so close to each other and at the same height that i have twice experienced acceleration instead of braking when putting on the brakes because i did not move my foot enough to clear the gas pedal. I have inquired to my dealer about making an adjustment to the brakes pedal height or spacing but was advised that this could not be done. This design is an "accident waiting to happen" and i am lucky that in both instances i was able to react in time to avoid one. If this has not already been brought to the attention of the manufacturer, nhtsa should do so before someone is seriously hurt.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
