Description of the problem	We purchased a new 2018 subaru outback in july 2018. My wife was the primary driver of this vehicle. By april 2019, my wife was suffering from severe knee and hip pain on the right side of her body. During her visits to her orthopedic specialist (knee), she was asked multiple times if she was in an accident. In july 2018, i got to drive her car on an 8 hour trip. By 5th hour, my right knee was in major pain, like being on fire from within. In close inspection of driving position, i found the following: 1. Transmission tunnel intrudes in driving position to operate gas peddle 2. Gas pedal is tucked away too far to the right (line of sight covered by transmission tunnel) 3. The distance between the gas and brake pedal are longer than any other car that we have owned. Operating the two pedals require wide turn of right ankle). The combination of the above 3 design issues forces driver to open the right leg at the hip. Next to turn to right foot below the knee further to the right. Lastly require wider turn of right ankle to operate brake pedal if not lifting right foot to operate the brake pedal. Later that day, we did an internet search on "subaru" + "leg pain". We found out reported issues since 2013. Also, our sister in-law who has a subaru forester shared that at time she feels discomfort in her right leg when traveling longer than 2 hours. Since then we have heard from other subaru owners having pain in right side of their body. Information surfaces only when we share our experience. Since july 4th 2018, i have been driving the outback. While my daily commute is not as long as wife
