Description of the problem | The all weather mats on the jeep trailhawk have a large ridge along the perimeter of the mat. This ridge can create a squeeze point under the gas pedal where the heel of a shoe can be trapped causing the shoe to pull of the foot and interfering with the ability to apply the brakes. This situation occurred with me in stop and go traffic while i was wearing cowboy boots. The heel stuck under the pedal and when i went to apply the brakes my boot partially pulled off of my foot and i was not able to stop causing an accident. |
