| Description of the problem | The brake pedal is too close to the center console. The space for my foot on the gas pedal is only about 1/4-inch wider than my foot. So, in an emergency situation, when trying to lift my foot off the gas pedal to apply the brakes, my foot became entangled with the brake pedal. By the time i finally got my foot on top of the gas pedal, it was almost too late. I almost crashed. |
