Description of the problem | The brake and gas pedals were designed too close together. This almost resulted in two accidents due to sudden acceleration. The dealership serviced the vehicle on 3 separate occasions, but was unable to change the position of the brake pedal because that was how it was built. A factory representative was scheduled to come and inspect the pedals. *ak the brake pedal would go down lower than the gas pedal when the consumers foot was slightly off the brake, it would hit the gas pedal and the vehicle would accelerate. The brake problem remained the same after repair attempts. *sc *jb |
