Consumer Description

THE LOCATION OF THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR ARE TOO CLOSE AND ARE AT THE SAME HEIGHT. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE STOPPING THE FOOT STAYS ON PART OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND ACTUALLY INCREASES THE ENGINE SPEED WHILE TRYING TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN LOOKING AT THE LOCATION OF THE TWO PEDALS IT LOOKS LIKE A DESIGN ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN BY THREE PERSONS AND ALL HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE AND HE INDICATED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE (BREAKING SYSTEM) AND IT WAS SOMETHING THE DRIVERS WOULD HAVE TO BE AWARE OF WHEN STOPPING THIS VEHICLE.*AK
