Description of the problem | Car is for my wife's usage mainly. I drove the car a few days later and noticed that the brake pedal is: too high, (too close to driver's reach (foot), to small ant too close to the accelerator pedal. When you shift your right foot from acceleration to braking, i touch the side of the brake rubber pad many times and need to make sure i am fully on the brake pad. The previous car was a 2012 ford escape. No problems like this. We had many other vehicles and never had this situation. I am 5' 10" 175 lbs., and never drive close to the steering wheel. I have called ford m. C. And no help or concern. The selling dealer says that they can not do anything.... I am firmly convinced that the car designers can make a quick change to correct this problem. How many accidents could be prevented ? Other persons agree with this problem.[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
