Consumer Description

THE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL ARE ABLE TO BE APPLIED SIMULTANEOUSLY CAUSING NEAR ACCIDENTS. THE CAUSE SEEMS TO BE BECAUSE OF THE CLOSENESS OF THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS BOTH HORIZONTALLY AND VERTICALLY. SINCE OWNERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE, THIS SITUATION HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRICALLY ADJUSTED PEDALS WHICH BRINGS THE PEDALS TOO CLOSE IN PROXIMITY TO EACH OTHER CAUSING THESE NEAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE FOOT UNINTENTIONALLY IS ABLE TO APPLY PRESSURE TO BOTH BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS.THIS SITUATION I BELIEVE IS CAUSED THROUGH THE ENGINEERING OF THE VEHICLE AND THE COST TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE BORN BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY. *TR
