| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have reported this before due to several other close calls that i had, but the same thing has happened to two others in the same vehicle. when depressing the brake pedal (because it is so small - 2"x2.6") your foot can be on the edge of the pedal and it will slip off as you apply more pressure. this happens when you are nearing a stop or having to make a quick stop. we have had several near miss accidents, the last would have been a right angle collision with a dump truck right in the driver's door. the vehicle is a 2003 astro van with automatic transmission. foot space is limited only if it would be a stick shift requiring a clutch. the brake pedal is the smallest in our fleet and not much larger than the emergency brake pedal. the vehicle is now parked pending a safety review. *nm |
