Description of the problem | There is a serious design flaw/safety hazard with the way the bar attached to the brake pedal is structured. When the vehicle is in motion and i need to brake, the tip of my shoe makes contact with the skinny metal bar attached to the brake pedal. In other words, the only way to brake is to bend my shoe far enough for it to make contact with the brake pedal. This causes very uneven, jerky and erratic braking. In many cases, i have nearly rear-ended the vehicle in front of me because my shoe is not flexible enough to make fast contact with the brake pedal. I have several pictures which clearly show this design flaw. |
