| Description of the problem | Last week i rented a nissan altima from hertz. This was the first time that i had driven this car. There is a design problem with the location of the brake pedal and spacing between the accelerator. I wear a size 10 shoe and the edge of my shoe kept getting caught on the edge of the brake pedal when i moved my foot to apply the brake. I narrowly escaped several accidents as a result of this. There is no space between these 2 pedals! |
