| Description of the problem | I was backing up, turning around in a driveway. When i attempted to stop, something interfered with my ability to depress the brake pedal, resulting in a low-speed (less than 2 mph) collision with a shed, minor damage to the shed and damage to the rear bumper cover of the vehicle. This is the third or fourth time i have had this problem (once at high speed approaching a red traffic signal, i could not stop prior to the intersection even with the emergency brake), but the first involving a collision. I investigated this (not the first time i have tried) and found a bracket which appears to be part of the brake pedal mounting that contacts my toes when my foot is toward the left side of the brake pedal and my heel is greater than about 0. 5 in. Off the floor (i wear a size 12 shoe). When this happens, i am unable to apply pressure to the brake pedal.*dt the consumer provided photos of the vehicle. |
