| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The brake pedal and accelerator pedal are close together. with my size 12 foot, it is easy to accidentally have my shoe on both pedals. the car has enough engine power to overcome the braking system, and lead to a collision. with the abs and tcs (traction control system) on this car, i would like to see an interaction to limit power if the abs is activated. my rear tires were trying to stop the car (almost dragging) and with the car under power (both pedals depressed) the abs was activated but i was still accelerating forward. if the tcs was limiting the power, i would have had enough time to stop or had enough time to remove my right foot off of the accelerator pedal and reposition my foot correctly and firmly on the brake pedal. *jb |
