Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Got in vehicle. put right foot on brake, put car in drive, took my foot off brake and then immediately reapplied it as car pulled in front of me. wrangler began creeping forward and i applied more pedal pressure only to find the vehicle accelerating harder. hit car in front of me. thought i had my right foot on brake when in fact, most of my right foot was on the accelerator. why are these pedals so close? i'm normally a left foot braker so this isn't a big issue, but in the case, i used my right foot and ended up having my right foot on both pedals. very poor design and dangerous, in my opinion.*ak |
