Description of the problem | I incorrectly described the safety problem with my honda accord in my complaint 11241841, so here's a correction. It is not the top of the calf muscle that is impeded, it is the knee which locks against the overly thick plastic (2"-3" high) surrounding the entire top of the center console, and so you must make multiple foot and leg stabbing movements in order to with difficulty actually engage the brake pedal to stop after being on the gas pedal. This would effect all males with height 5. 9" or over and some taller women. The problem is the knee locks tight against the center consoles plastic at the top of the console, and your foot becomes trapped against the gas pedal. The time differential to relocate your leg and foot to engage the brake is an additional half second or longer. You have to hav legs long enough to have your knee become adjacent to the 2-3" high thick plastic along the top edge of the center console which runs the entire sides of the center consol at its top. It is extremely cramping and disruptive to leg movement by pinning the right side of the knee joint. Honda must remove the area of that thick striip of horizontal (front to back) plastic where the knee engages it, to allow one to rotate one's foot easily between gas and brake. If they do not multiple fatalities may occur. |
