“The accelerator of our 2007 Durango at rest is about 1 inch lower than the brake. I have several times stepped on the brake to put it in gear and am also stepping on the accelerator, because it is too close to the same height. The brake is slightly higher. This causes quite a jerk when I start the car and put in gear quickly. We have a 2000 Durango. The separation height of the brake vs the accelerator is 2 3/4 inches.

NHTSA complaint #10661458, filed 2014-12, 76,600 miles“Had owned our 2007 Dodge Durango for over 2 months, and had been driving it with no problems on snow, slush, etc. On dec 29th, 2009, I slowly pulled into my in-laws' driveway and was just about to come to a complete stop, when the car surged forward. I took my foot off the brake and hit brakes again, though it did slide into my father-in-law's car before I could stop. Considering the slush, I thought perhaps I was confused in the commotion and maybe it was just a skid. However, the exact same thing happened the next day, at an intersection I was approaching at less than 5 MPH. …”
