Description of the problem | I have noticed that my brake pedal pushes down nearly to the floor when the pedal is pushed hard. I first noticed this a few weeks ago when i was waiting for traffic as i was entering the street from a parking lot. My foot was pressing down on the brake pedal but it was also not directly on the pedal. My foot was off to the right. As the pedal pressed down harder, the same braking foot was hitting the throttle pedal thus accelerating the engine. The car brakes fine in normal traffic and operation. I am fearful that if i or someone else using the car would make a panic stop and not have their foot directly on the brake pedal that they could actually push the throttle making the car accelerate instead of stop. I showed the situation to the dealer from whom i purchased the car and it was their opinion that all is normal and that other cars like mine do the same thing. I visited another dealer and they too said the brake pedal is normal. |
