Consumer Description

MY 2008 FORD F150 BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSES TOO FAR AND ALLOWS THE DRIVER TO INADVERTENTLY HIT THE GAS PEDAL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL SIMULTANEOUSLY. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE EXAMINED BY THE DEALER AND HAVE NOTIFIED FORD MOTOR COMPANY OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE ADVISED ME THAT THE BRAKES ARE WORKING PROPERLY. MY SON ALSO HAS A FORD F150 AND HIS HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN DEFECT WITH THESE VEHICLES AND IN MY CASE HAS CONTRIBUTED TO ONE ACCIDENT AND SEVERAL NEAR MISSES. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM WARRANTS FURTHER STUDY BY YOUR AGENCY. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
