Description of the problem | Toyota 2007 tacoma. Nice new ,the truck has been very unforgiving ,,,the brake pedal and accelerator pedal are placed so close together , that its not a question of could,, but answer is yes.. Its happened to me, sister borrowed it,and i warned about the problem,she still ran into the rear of another vehicle.. The truck is dangerous.. Im used to it, but still if i have boots on, i have trouble.. The pedals are so close, and nearly the same height.. I cant believe this very dangerous design hasn't been identified and repaired. I dare not loan my truck to anyone , because of past experience.. Its just not safe!!! I shouldn't have to change the original design, but , to make it safe i might have too.. Come on toyota ,,this is a problem.. Lets fix it.. |
