| Description of the problem | The pedals are positioned too close together. My husband complained of this a few weeks ago when he drove my car because his shoe got caught on the brake pedal as he was lifting his foot off the gas pedal. Then, yesterday, the same thing happened to me. I nearly drove my car through the front of the daycare where i was dropping off my son. I am now aware of how extra-cautious i have to be when driving my car so this doesn't happen again. This has never happened to me with any other car. I've been driving for 25 years! |
